Information
The basic philosophy of MBSC 22 Long Rifle Shoots is to provide an enjoyable, safe venue for the participants and by doing so help those shooters become better marksmen. In order to provide a level playing field for all shooters and avoid an expensive auxiliary equipment race between shooters, the following guidelines are in effect:
A. The only allowed support equipment to be used is sandbags and/or bipods or a combination of the 2. Other equipment may be allowed at a shoot if prior notice is made in the match format. Please check course of fire for each scheduled match.
B. All shooters are expected to be courteous and respectful to other shooters and range staff and submit accurate scores.
.22LR AND CENTERFIRE CLASSES
SPORT CLASS - Any safe rifle action. Barrel measures 0.710" or less at the muzzle. Original stock, trigger or barrel may be upgraded by the owner long as the rifle remains safe to use. Any front support that does not equal or exceed listed open class equipment may be used.
MATCH CLASS - Any safe rifle action. Barrel measures larger than .711" at the muzzle but no greater than 1.25 at the muzzle. Original stock, trigger or barrel may be ugraded by the owner as long as the rifle remains safe to use. Any front support that does not equal or exceed listed open class equipment may be used.
OPEN CLASS - Any safe rifle action, using a barrel tuner device or barrel diameter no greater than 1.25" at the muzzle. Use of accessories such as bench rest type front support, tripod, front support bags greater than 9 1/2" in length or width, bipods with legs wider than 9 1/2" or any other device the Match Director believes elevates the stability of the support structure above that of other competitors in Sport or Match classes.

Ammo Restrictions
RIMFIRE
*During competitions where metal targets are used, only .22LR rimfire ammo is allowable. Also - only target grade or standard velocity ammo is acceptable. No high velocity or hypervelocity ammo can be used as it could cause target damage or an unsafe ricochet.
*During competitions using solely paper targets or frangible targets such as pool chalk, lollipops, soda straws, matchsticks, aspirins or other such items, alternative rimfire calibers/cartridges may be used according to the match directors instructions.
Use of any centerfire ammo during a .22lr competition will be determined by the Match Director, and noted on the Match Program
*Same restrictions as rimfire ammo when using frangible targets.
Caliber/cartridge restricted to 308 WIN maximum unless otherwise noted by Match Director
