CMP Rimfire Sporter Shoot

This event involves shooting a non-target-specification rimfire rifle from the prone and sitting/kneeling positions at 50 yards and offhand (standing unsupported) at 25 yards. Both slow and rapid fire are included. Rifles should meet the following specifications: 7.5 pounds or less overall weight, with a trigger pull weight of 3 pounds or greater. Full rules can be found here, but BRGC interprets these rules rather liberally. For example, we generally allow rifles with thumb-hole stocks and bull barrels to be used, even though the CMP rules do not.

There are two classes of rifles and separate scores will be recorded for the two: "O" class for shooters with open sights, which are the sights that typically come standard on sporting rifles and "T" class for red-dot, aperture (peep) or telescopic sights (scopes must be 6 power or less or variables adjusted no higher than 6 power). The newly developed "Tactical .22s", which are .22 rimfire rifles designed to resemble AR-15/M-16/M-4 or similar military rifles, may compete in the "T" class at BRGC CMP shoots.
