The Bedford Contingent Gun Range will be hosting a CMP sanctioned Rimfire Sporter match Saturday September 29th.

Rimfire Sporter is shot with ordinary .22lr that weight less than 7.5lbs and who's trigger can lift 3lbs. There are three classes; scoped, open sights and tactical, which may be scoped or open sighted. Open sights are leaf sights. Aperture sights will be placed in the scoped class. No shooting coats or specialized shooting gloves are allowed. Scopes are limited to 6X power and can not be changed during competition. Slings may be used in prone and seated, but not standing. No other type of support is allowed. CMP rules 8.2.1 through 8.6.8 apply. Complete rules can be found at http://thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-competitions-rulebooks/

Course of Fire is

Two relays will be ran. Relay 1 starts at 9 and relay 2 will start at 11. Pre-registration is required by emailing Rayne@ReveresRiders.org. Indicate which relay you would like to shoot in and which class your rifle is. I will verify that there is room in that relay and register you. You may enter more than one relay. Cost is $10 per relay.

Bumping this up to make sure everyone saw this opportunity to shoot a CMP sanctioned rimfire sporter match.

So bathroom scale has my rifle close to 7.5lbs, if I'm over can I still shoot, don't care about prizes or badges, just want to try this out and it close to Indy (relative)

I just saw this myself. I'll be there but I'm not sure if I can make the early relay yet. Any chance for sighters?

Grr, my 455 is too heavy. Well over 8lb.

I could always put the stiffer spring in the trigger to bring it up from the 1.5#.

Yes, if you are close, you can shoot. I do not have a "certified" scales for verify weights or trigger pulls. We are trying our hardest to play by the rules, but want people to come try this sport. It's a lot of fun and lets you dip your toe into the competition world without a lot of expense. So come on out and try it.

There will be a five to ten minute sighting period before each relay. Rule book says five minutes, but at Perry they gave you ten minutes. We'll probably go with ten and call it early if everyone has their sighters done before the ten minutes are up.

Your CZ is over weight? Really? Do you have a large scope on it?

I would love to be there, but have another commitment.
If that falls apart, I may show up unannounced even if there's no chance for participation.

Been trying to get some other people in this neck of the woods to try exactly this kind of event. (doesn't need to be official to be beneficial)

If there is room in the relay, you may participate. The reason for preregistration is so we don't have 20 people show up for relay one and 5 of them have to wait two hours for relay 2. If you preregister your spot on the line is reserved.

Swfa 12x42. The Boyd’s pro Varmint is the main contribution. Bull barrel doesn’t help.

Thanks Rayne, AJ, Chili, and everyone else that competed this weekend! I really enjoyed it. It was an absolute pleasure shooting on a line filled with fantastic folks.

The Bedford Contingent is a super-nice facility. 3rd time I'd been there and Chili keeps it well-maintained, clean, safe, and comfortable without fail. The CMP Rimfire Sporter is a VERY cost-effective way to compete in a rifle sport. I really appreciate those that work to put these together and make it fun/competitive for all. Can't wait for the next opportunity...you should try it!

Congratulations goes to you HammerD13 for your gold and silver standard scores this weekend. You sure shot well, not let's figure out what changes when you get to Perry. Sure would be nice to have a bunch of Hoosiers bring home all the goodies next year.

We will be having another Rimfire Sporter Match on October 27th. Only one relay at 10am will be run with the maximum number of shooters set at 20. Preregistration isn't necessary but if you preregister it will guarantee you a spot on the line. Come join the fun, test your skills and dip your toe into competitive shooting.

Below are the results.
