Yes well I have a theory on why.

It's fun to shoot the Service Rifle format but cant abide by their rules. I wish it was a "real" service rifle format and not the heavy barrel target AR's. They are definitely an advantage over things with a lighter front end. It would make the thing so much more interesting. The new standard format would have made it much more fun if it wasn't made exclusive by the need for a mono upper. Especially if they dropped the target AR's. It makes it even more difficult for non AR service format rifles to compete.

I am really keen for something similar at the new Auckland range.

My theory about the HBAR thing is they did it because for some time there were restrictions on the types of barrels that people could get out of the USA.

Really? That must have been 20 years ago at least.

thats my understanding about how it came about as well,personly I have both hbar and a2 20" uppers and find that each is better than the other at diferent matchs so its fairly eaven over a day. I prefer the a2 profile as it just seems more right somehow
