A Service
Rifle Match
What does it mean? What is expected? |
There are quite a few rules written regarding the running
of service rifle matches. We loosely base our rules around the NSW Service
Rifle Assn. http://www.nswmsd.com/ Why? Well really because the are well documented, quite easy to
read, comprehensive and easy to conform too. However, our interpretation is
quite liberal. (Note: NSW Service rifle do not refer to any semi-automatic
rifles as the don't have them in Australia. I will publish a list for
discussion.
What is a Service Rifle Match.... It is a match that we loosely base on
military lines, military themes, using military targets where applicable for
Military Service Rifles.
Our definition of a Service Rifle,
Rifle: A rifle that has been in general issue with an armed force at
some stage. This definition also includes rifles of a civilian pattern that
are accepted as being para military (mini14/30), a military conforming
rifle, a civilian rifle based on a military rifle (H&K SL4/8, AR15 etc), or
an "A" category version of an MSSA (Military Style Semi Automatic).
(see NSWSRA website for a list of service rifles)
Sights: Iron sights, of an as issued type for the type of rifle being used.
Not aftermarket target sights, modified military sights or optical sights
(except for sniper class) If using a para military type rifle, (H&K SL4/8,
AR15, mini14/30 etc), these rifles must have a military style iron sight.
Ammunition: Ammunition of a military caliber, ie. that caliber that
has been used with a military force at some stage and constant to the rifle
to which it is being used. It does not have to be milsurp ammunition, but
any commercial or reloaded ammunition is acceptable but it should be
consistent with the original cartridge as to load and bullet weight. eg.
.303, 174pr, 180gr or 215gr. No
123gr or 150gr. 7.62mm/.308,
144,147 or 150gr. Copper jacket FMJ or Soft point. No target
or hunting projectiles (with the exception of copper jacket, lead tip
projectiles, No lead projectiles.
For guidance see IMAS rules.

Sniper Class: Rifles and Optical sights for the "Sniper Class"
should be military issued sniper rifles or faithfully reproduced sniper
rifles. They should have an original optical sight, however, because of the
scarcity of both these rifles and telescopic sights, a civilian pattern
telescopic sight, preferably but no greater than 4x32 power should be
used. If this is not possible a telescopic sight of no greater power of x4
may be used. This includes vari-power telescopic sights with the power
setting set to no greater than x4 will be acceptable. A civilian pattern rifle firing a non-military
type cartridge does not fit into this category.
In short. a military rifle is "As issued".....
Service Rifle matches are put on for shooters to use their service rifles
simulating as close as possible original conditions....

What does it mean?
It is expected that shooters will want
to conform to our definition of a Service Rifle match. Shooters with
non-conforming rifles will not be eligible to shoot.
All scores will be recorded on an equal
basis throughout the match.
On presentation of the final match scores only those rifles recorded as
meeting the "Service Rifle" status will be eligible for match
grades of 1st, 2nd & 3rd etc. They will also be eligible for
"Merit Awards" for that match and have those awards carried over to the next
and subsequent matches.
REMEMBER:
This is a Service Rifle Match.... If you can't meet the criteria you will
not be able to shoot.
If you have to have target or modified sights you should be joining the NRA.
Service Rifle matches are for "Service
Rifles".... "As Issued".... No Exceptions!!!!!! |
