Is it a 1:9 or a 1:10 Brux barrel. Two different reports.

Editor: The First barrel was a 1:11″, the second a 1:9″.

As a reply to Richard: There are already plenty of shooting competitions here in the US that do exactly that. CMP Service Rifle, Palma, and High Power Rifle all cater to exactly that style of shooting. They already exist, and are quite popular.

However they are also but are quite regimented, repetitive, and not all that appealing to the younger crowds. And in some cases they are not new shooter friendly.

As far as I’m concerned US match directors should keep on doing what they want. There’s plenty of options out there.

Don’t be fooled into giving up on a well designed and built .308 Win. That soda bottle was shot at a mile with a 168 grain Berger Hybrid on top of Varget. Proper twisting of the .308 barrel will result in a clean sub sonic transition.

I’m still struggling with this move to heavy rifles for practical/tactical shooting. Our US brothers seem to favour supported positions, bipods and barricades over slings and positional shooting.

Our experience is that weight soon gets chopped when you have to sling up for a stage or two of Prone Unsupported.

We think the US Match Directors may soon (should soon?) realise this and start including a couple of sling stages to open up the competition again.
