[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 54058, member: 34"] Ric A true "factory class" could be implemented in 1000 yard shooting. WE started that many years ago with the thoughts that most would move on into the 16 1/2 lb and heavy gun class. Where we messed up was, we made rules allowing custom barrels and stocks and got away from the "straight" Factory class. We also went with a 11# maximum which was a mistake. Now that class no longer exists at Williamsport as most shooters went on to the 16 1/2 lb class right away and very few shot in the 11# class. You would be surprised what I saw a factory 7mm Sendarow do at Williamsport. It was a 10 shot group of 8" by Walt Bryan. If a factory class would be started, it should have a stipulation of NO factory Custom guns, 40Xs or any other rifle that is a spectial built factory rifle. A 10# limit would help here. Just a varmint or hunting rifle allowed. That would make the class as pure as possible and you would be surprised what groups could or would be fired if the conditions were good. Wasn't trying to rain on your Parade at all my friend. Just stating facts and what to be ready for in 1000 yard competitions. Take care and good shooting to you. Later DC [/QUOTE]
