Nice target rifle article - Don McDowell - 07-31-2017
Just about the time a fella really figures NRA wants to completely divorce themselves from Black Powder Cartridge ... they do something like this.

Have some rules been changed?
Any metallic sights, with or without clicks, including open, aperture and tube are allowed in competition.

The rules for target rifle and silhouette have always had slight differences in some places. Much like Martini's and Ruger #1's, Borchardts etc are all legal in BPTR but not silhouette.

I wouldn't know, I don't use them have no need to, best thing to do if one wants to use click sights is to read the rule book.

Did some reading in the rule book , and as long as the "click" adjustable sights Metalic are period , they would be acceptable. Scopes can not be click adjustable, and must conform to the 3 /4 in. tube and maximum 1 in objective lense.

It's a nice PR piece, don't think anything in it is correct without checking elsewhere.

thanks don.
if your group is forming at the bottom of the 10 ring, it would be nice to just come up one 1/2 moa click.
as opposed to using a magnifying glass to adjust a vernier 1/2 moa.
more time to look at flags if the rules allow.
keep safe,

With an MVA, Baldwin or Hoke sight, it's a quarter turn up, no need for the old fart glasses.

daily bulletin section of the 6 mm br website also had a good little promotion for raton a couple of days away.
