Three Rimfire Classes: Iron Sights and Scoped, as well as Tactical Rimfire
Rifles can be either manually operated or semi-automatic. There are three classes: the O Class for open-sighted rifles, the T-Class for telescope-sighted rifles (upto 6 power), and then the Tactical Rimfire Class. Competitors can choose to fire in one or both of the two classes (combined entries). Competitors can use binoculars or spotting scopes to spot shots while shooting. Firing takes place at 50 and 25 yards on a target with an accuracy of 1.78. Ten-ring.
