Scopes on Rifles

For the rifle-pin matches, are scopes on rifles OK? What kind of rifles are people using?

 

[MFP4073]

yes scopes and dots are fine. Infact most guns have them.

Most use AR, AK, SKS, M1A, Garand, and pistol caliber carbines. Some guys even like to use a lever gun or a bolt gun for fun. Pretty much any centerfire rifle will be fine. There is a rifle match this sunday on the 50 yd range.

Come on down!

Hey Whitey,

I'm an MRA member and new to rifle shooting. Can you describe (or link me to a description) of what the Rifle Pin shoot is like?

Thanks.

 

[MFP4073]

Hi Paul,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I was not on my computer this weekend.

The bowling pin rifle shoots are 10 pins set up on a rack at 50 yards.Sshoot em as fast as you can. You will shoot three relays (not right in a row) with each gun you enter.

Ammo can not be armor piercing or steel core ammo. Best way to check is with a magnet. If you are in doubt bring both types with you and we can check it at the match.

All rifles are grouped together for the pin shoots regardless of accessories. Most if not all will have optics of some kind, at least for their money winning gun.

You can shoot two guns. It is 5.00 to enter each gun and you will choose one as your money winning gun before we start.

If you have pre-ban mags you can load em' up. There is not limit on number of shots and you may re-load if necessary to knock all the pins down.

Match is held rain or shine because we shoot from under the hut on the McGlaughlin range.

 

[PaulD]

Thanks a lot. That sounds like fun.

I don't have a scope for my AR yet but I'm working on that. I'm going to sign up for one of these soon.

thanks

Open division= optics and / or comps permitted
Stock division= no optics or comps

hope this helps!
