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.

I did not see the coverage, so those events were not ISSF 300 mt free rifle, so its more like a military comp than international 300 mt free rifle, which is shot just like small bore just with a bigger bang.

If you're at Bisley for the small bore meeting Tim, we will be there only on the Sunday Aug 13th in the zero range, to zero our Keppelers as we have new tubes, you are welcome to come and have a look. Not sure when likely mid/late afternoon.

I was thinking it seemed like the old NRA Service disciplines.

Sadly I'm not at Bisley for the Weekend, though it is the year. I'm stranded in Somerset.

I think its closest to our CSR (Civilian Service Rifle) now very popular here but shot with military looking rifles, and also historic classes (rifles, Enfields, etc, not the shooters!). Being an ISSF shooter its not my thing, but its great seeing lots of people joining our sport

Oh well Tim, perhaps some day you can escape the west country, 300 mt is very addictive, very satisfying, small bore with a big bang, and a bit more distance, we are getting a few prominent small bore shooters coming over now, and finding its very challenging, (most a bit more than they expected!)

Sorry Vestlenning for hijacking your thread, its great seeing a country with so enthusiastic a following. Is your National meeting open to guests from out side Norway?

Have Fun

No problem. Not sure about foreigners, but I think it's for Norwegians only.
