The way I see it, just a portion of the NRA highpower rules
3.1.1 Service rifle. The application of synthetic coatings, which includes those containing powdered metal. To the interior of the stock to improve bedding is authorized provided the coating does not interfere with the function or operation of safety features.
I really don't see where having a wiz bang, tricked out rifle does any good,if "You can't shoot the gun" you can't hit the target. There are no short cuts to accuracy. A good shooter on a POS rifle will out shoot a wiz bang rifle with a dope behind the trigger any day. I have been that dope many times :dink:
