I'm sure I remember reading that the max magnification for this class is 4.5x.
However the entry form doesn't mention it, it just says: SERVICE OPTIC – “Any rifle with optic sights with no restriction on slings. Rests may not be used. The rifle magazine may touch or rest on the forearm or on the ground. (Any forward vertical grip, if fitted, may not be used).” Is that restriction no longer in place, or should the entry form be updated to let people know? *edit* Also, was there something about a minimum trigger weight? |

Rules change every year for no rhyme nor reason and without any consultation with the NRA membership that takes part. Well the rules don't change for no rhyme or reason every year, but seeing as how you don't take part anyway your point of view doesn't really matter
It's obviously an omission so I will get it amended |

None this year and can't think of any last year. Can't really think of the last rule change anyhow, but I'm sure you can
