CMP did it new F class category

[anon]

After taking a break, and then re-reading the CMP rules, I'm concerned about the ""current" MSRP" point.

A new Ruger RPR can reliably be found for $660 less than the MSRP, and an el cheapo Vortex can reliably be found for $268 less than MSRP. Those and an Atlas bipod are near the MSRP limit.

The good news is you save $928 off of the MSRP. The bad news is, with a sneeze and an update of the Manufacturer's website on their whim, and your gear may no longer be legal per the ""current" MSRP" math.

Ah, well.

Just let me put a folding bipod on my sling rifle and call it a day.

I like the idea of bringing a new class of shooting to F Class. My last F Open rifle cost well north over 8k and I’m a weekend fair weather shooter. Many of the big boys have two or three rifles..
When I’m at the range and introduce competitive shooting to a new shooter. They shake their head and say, that’s too expensive. I’m all for an Open class, but like NHRA drag racing not everyone can run a top fueler but bracket racing or super street is more obtainable. F-Mil or whatever they want to call it is a great idea.

Belly benchrest is an expensive game!

Or, they can call it F-TR.

Same for up here, initially we had some takers but once they started shooting the 1k yd target they realized their rifles were not as accurate as they thought they were. Saw a lot 170’s score occasional 180’s. While our dedicated F/O shooters were shooting the normal mid to high 190’s. Nothing more humbling when you realize your rifle is not what you thought it was. Our 600yd matches we get some of the prs guys but nothing to get excited about. When I talk to the PRS/NRL folks about shooting with us I get the ol it’s boring what you guys do. I been to an NRL hunter match where I had to wait over an hour to shoot 8rds lol. I guess their and my idea of boring is completely different.

We see alot of this, bought a creedmoor can hit something at 300-400 come to a 6 or 1k match and leave never to come back. Some fall in love with it and shoot what they brung till they can afford better most don't, I don't know if it's the reality of true long range shooting or it's the match format.
