Is there a weight restriction for the 308 class. Paul.

our "smiley" awards are as per the IBS "screamer" standards.

Light Gun, 5 shots in less than 3", Heavy Gun 10 shots in less than 5".

Obviously the standards,individual challenges and difficulty of International 1000yd BR competition have increased in recent years.

Who would want it any other way!!!!

308 or 223 rifle all up weight (including scope,mounts, bolt,action,barrel, stock etc), may not exceed 17lbs. ie the same as the Light Gun weight limits. PM sent.
