RIMFIRE ONLY FOR EASTER MONDAY

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
