F-TR ??

I am thinking of doing some f class compotions, when they say it needs to be an unmodified rifle do they meen a factory rifle? or can it have a match grade 30" barrel? can you blue print the action? what about a after market stock? how do you determan if it is modified? I think the statment unmodified is a bit un explained. If I buy a cooper arms 308 that is garanteed to shoot 1/2 MOA does that count as unmodified?
 
I thought F-tr rules only specify .308 or .223, shot off a bipod or sling, and a weight limit with all attachments?

(b) F-Class Target Rifle (F-TR) - A rifle restricted to the chambers of unmodified .308 Winchester/7.62mm
NATO or unmodified .223 Remington/5.56mm X 45 NATO cartridge cases. The rifle must be fired off a
bipod, rigidly attached to the rifle’s for-end, and/or a sling. Any bipod, meeting the definition of a bipod,
may be used but its weight must be included in the rifle’s overall weight. Any safe, manually operated
trigger is permitted. Any sighting system is permitted, but it must be included in the rifle’s overall weight.

Unmodified is speaking of the cartridge. No AI or wildcat .308 or .223. This is how I interpret it.
 
Unmodified only applies to the caliber. Notice I didn't say chamber. Give it a try hope you enjoy our sport
 
So when they say unmodified I take it that means no palma match chamber or national match chamber? Just plain jane 308 winchester?
 
In the USA, unmodified means it looks like a 308/223 going in and when it comes out. The case can be resized with a factory die. Match chambers are not a problem.

In the UK they can get very pickey.
