Bat Shoot Class Rules:

Canberra Factory/Varmint class rules:

Any standard rifle from a major manufacturer (no catalogued ‘Target’ models or ‘Custom’ shop versions). A list of specialist makers whose rifles are excluded is being developed and will be listed below. Rifles, with the exception of falling block actions, must have an operational magazine (not to be used in the event). Maximum fore end stock width is 2.6"
Allowable modifications are allowed as follows: stock replacement with an aftermarket varmint or tactical model, action bedding, barrel free-floating, altering length of pull and adjustment, alteration or replacement of trigger & fitting of scopes. Rebarrelling in a factory available calibre, barrel profile, length and barrel twist. No trigger pull weight or type is specified, but the rifle must be safe and useable for field shooting.
Scope power limited to 25X. Higher powered variables to be set at 25X and taped.
Muzzle brakes are NOT permitted. If factory fitted and not readily removable they must be sleeved to make them non-functional.
Rifles may be shot from sand-bag type rests or from a bi-pod. All shots to taken from single loading only.
Conduct of matches as per normal ‘Fly" rules. Shot for both Score and Group etc.
Specialist Makers (incomplete list) –
HS Precision, Robar, Christensen, Cooper, McMillan, Sako TRG, Remington custom shop, savage target or ‘F’ class etc.
Use your imagination – if it is uncommon then it will probably find it’s way onto the list.

Hi All

Been out of phone coverage since Wed, will confirm comms with all who have sent messages when I write the bookings down on the sheet so I don't forget. Please stand by for responses. Catching up on lots of messages sorry.

Been out shooting long range with my .308 and 6.5x55 Ackley. Took 8 shots with the Ackley to hit a 500mm square splash plate at 1640m, biggest problem was not seeing the misses on a muddy hillside unless you blew a tussock out of the ground. Great fun.

Cheers.

Dave Groves.

Hi everyone,

This coming weekend will most likely be the last time you will see the Pro-Cal shop in attendance at a Fly match. I still have heaps of stock so if anyone needs something brought along please let me know by about 5.00PM Wednesday as we will be leaving home first thing Thursday morning. I will be bringing quite a bit of gear with me including a number of run-out lines so come along and avail yourself of some bargains.

As I now have a Government job (called the age pension) I really need to move some stock to boost my savings account!
