[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 508290, member: 5302"] I related to the standard Palma rifle as defined in NRA High Power Rules: max weight of 6.5 kg (13.5 pounds), minimum trigger pull of 1.5 kg (3.5 pounds) and they've typically got 30 to 32 inch barrels. And in calm/stable atmospheric conditions using any free-recoil shooting system, the skill of the shooter's virtually eliminated. As far as F class rifles, they are also in this same pool of very accurate rifles shooting equally accurate. NRA High Power Match & Any Rifle, Palma, F Class and Long Range benchrest rifles all will average in the 3/10ths to 4/10ths MOA groups but no worse than 6/10ths MOA at 600 to 1000 yards. Their mean radius will be about where their group average is. But the group sizes shot in each ones discipline are vastly different. [/QUOTE]
