This Saturday starting at 11:00 after the vintage military shoot.

This is verbatim off the CMP's website:

The CMP Rimfire Sporter Rifle Matches offers shooters a recreation-oriented competition where they use .22 caliber sporter rifles (plinking and small game rifles) commonly owned by almost all gun enthusiasts.  This is a unique match where all you need is a rifle and ammo. You fire with standard sporter-type rimfire rifles that can weigh no more than 7 ½ pounds, with sights and sling.  Rifles may be manually operated or semi-automatic; shooters with manually operated actions are given extra time in rapid-fire to compensate for the difference.

There are three classes of competition - the standard “O Class” for open-sighted rifles, “T-Class” for telescope sighted and rear aperture sighted rifles and “Tactical Rimfire” class, which is a .22 caliber A4 or AR15 style rifle. Firing for all classes is done at 50 and 25 yards on a target with a 1.78” ten-ring and an 18” outer one-ring.  Even new shooters can get hits on this target, but it’s still tough enough that no one yet has fired a perfect 600x600 score.

Rimfire sporter rules can be found at:

If you don't have a .22 that meets the rules go ahead and come out anyway.  We can always run an unofficial "Unlimited" class.

Been working on a rifle.  Got the trigger up to 3.5lb, the rifle down to 7.44lb with swivels but no sling.  Reading the rule book, it says 7.5lb without the sling.  I hope this is so because I've already cut three inches off of the barrel, removed the buttplate, and filled the stock holes with helium.

You guys might get lucky though, my nephew might shoot in my place :P

The dominant rifle in the national matches is the CZ 452 military trainer, it weights 7.2lbs.
I will have two rifles in open sight class and one optic class with a rear aperture sight available for use, you pay for ammo and the use of the firearm is free.

Holy cow, you're getting serious!  I just swapped barrels on my 10/22 and called it good.
