GS is a absolute wealth of knowledge on all things 22 BR & don't forget the older girls as well

Itys a shame the NZDA/International rules & TSNZ can't hold hands

Tentman, there are a few different versions of Benchrest rimfire in New Zealand, indoor, outdoor sporter, factory class to full blown Benchrest class
Different targets for indoor and outdoor also, and NZDA and TSNZ use different targets also.

Some of the above information is regarding shooting Benchrest indoor at 25m and the targets shown seem to be indoor targets.

NZDA has National rules for rimfire Benchrest competition for outdoor 50y/m and has two classes, factory rifle and custom rifle, so you can use a CZ452, Brno, Remington or any other rimfire repeating sporting rifle to shoot Benchrest matches, and NZDA uses the World Benchrest Federation rimfire target.

Graeme will be able to assist and give you details on all types of Benchrest shooting in New Zealand.

I've flicked you a PM.
I have some photos to send you but probably best to not put everything up on the forum.
