anyone shoot small bore silhoutte rifle

[sharpshooter]

I was more just wondering if my Ruger 10/22 with a Fajen stock and heavy Adams and Bennett barrel were legal for matches. Also where do you shoot, anywhere near Schuylkill County?

Here's a resource for you:

These are from the NRA rulebook and where you can always get the original.

I was shooting silhouttes at Sayre Sportsmens Club (Bradford County), but for some reason that died out. Don't know a thing about Schuylkill County.


Standard Silhouette Rifle -A rifle, meeting the following specifications:

(a) Maximum weight 10 pounds, 2 ounces, including sights.

(b) Any sights, telescopic or metallic may be used. Scopes may not be more than 2 inches above the rifle as measured from the top of the receiver to the underside of the scope tube, nor may the scope be offset from the top centerline of the receiver.

(c) Any trigger not subject to accidental discharge. Triggers which function on release are not permitted. In the event of accidental discharge, the Range Officer shall require trigger adjustment or replacement of the rifle.

(d) Stock: The stock must be traditionally styled and may not be bent and/or twisted so as to deviate from conventional configurations such as factory rifle stocks or silhouette stocks as manufactured by Fajen, McMillan, H-S Precision, and others. The forend, including the trigger guard mounts and screws, shall not exceed 2 1/4 inches wide, and 2 1/4 inches deep measured from the centerline of the bore.

(Note: TIC Contender Carbines and Ruger Single Shot rifles are exempt, provided the additional depth of the trigger guard is not used as palm or thumb support.) ,

I shoot on Thursday nights at Falls Township R&P in Bucks County. Range is open to non-members for this event. We shoot several classes; open sight rifle, scoped rifle, open sight pistol, scoped pistol, and air guns.
40 target shoot. .22 LR or air guns.
I shoot a Win. Model 75 Target with open sights. Great fun.
I do realize Bucks is not around the corner from Schuylkill County. PM me if you are intersested and I can give you the details.
