General Information

Field Rifle uses rimfire and centrefire rifles and is designed around the four most used field shooting positions of rapid fire, standing, standing post rest and sitting/kneeling post rest over various distances

Centrefire field rifles may be of any calibre and chambered for any centrefire factory or wildcat cartridge. A bolt-action repeater is ideal, but any type of action that is safe can be used, including bolt-, lever- and slide-actions. The weight limit is 5.5kg including the bolt, empty magazine, sights and all accessories, except a sling.

CURRENT TEMPORARY RESTRICTIONS WILL STILL APPLY AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED BY THE SHOOT CAPTAIN AND RANGE STAFF
