Forum shooting challenge: The under 500 500

[Tussock]

The requirement for an off the scale pricing really make this complicated and easy to criticize.

In my long history of sporting events of many kinds, as well as other activities I have yet to find anything people found hard to criticize.

No, the rule and limitations are clearly stated. If someone wants to spend 6 months and $1000 hand loading .270 bullets into a loosed bored 6.5 they re-chambered on a toolshed lathe in their garage then that should keep us all entertained for a while.

The prize is respect. If you want to fake your targets I have been clear about the consequences. If you want to do a bogus $500 deal with your mate so you can shoot your $4000 LR rig, then by default, the prize is revoked because there will be no respect on offer.

If someone buys an old target rifle and uses aperture sights, then that will open a few peoples eyes and is worthy of respect.

If someone does this with a $300 Marlin .243 or a sporterised M98 .308, they are going to get bonus respect.

The competition is very tough, and after you sell the rifle again, very cheap.

This is a bit of fun. Just relax mate
