    There are a lot of self imposed grey areas in the rifle classes within all service rifle shooting clubs. They allowed terminology to define the rifles instead of makers marks.

    A rifle that almost kind of might look something near to one that my uncles, friends, mother saw used by a fellow in a uniform forty years ago on the way to her optometrist, would almost certainly pass as a faithful reproduction of a rare and little known model presented for trials in a secret location by unknown people at an undetermined moment in history...

    You usually find the bottom line is "if we allow it will it bring more people into the sport?"

    I think it should be "genuine issued sniper" a) Pre 1947 or b) Post 1947 or c) "fake"...... no grey areas, just three classes

    Sorry Ned, not taking the pi$$ out of you personally, had the same argument with the SSAA years ago... didn't go back...


    Just spotted Neds post above/ real easy, buy a real rifle. You can't enter the Melbourne cup with a shetland pony, even if it's the same colouring as the Goodowindi Grey
