That's 300 mt, shot with very trick 6 mmBR or 6 mmX rifles, the rules are near enough the same as .22, just with a bigger calibre and at 300 metres, we have a thriving UK club at Bisley, the GB300M club, it has a website and a facebook site. The most popular event is the 60 shot prone, but it is also shot 3 positional as well.

Indoor firing point, electronic targets, the UK range is in the "Shed" at range 10 on Century range at Bisley, the most popular calibres are the lower recoil 6 mm ones, but the rules allow any thing up to 8 mm, so it can be shot quite successfully with NRA 7.62 target rifles.

The next date is 26th/27th Aug, a training event, then a training day 7th Oct, and the BFRC match on the 8th, all at Bisley.

Have Fun

I think many use the Sauer STR (Scandinavian Target Rifle), which was designed to replace the various M96 and M98 Mausers and Krags still in use.

Not in 300 mt Tim, those military based rifles are as antique as a 12/15 is in small bore, they are all now G&E, Keppeler, Bleiker, Bix'n'Andi, are the most common in use.

Which is why the STR was introduced. It's cheaper than a Free Rifle, and has a magazine for the rapid fire stages.
