Yes this whole "military vs sporting" is stupid emotive stuff however, "Service Rifle" is a style of match which can be shot with anything you choose! I would say that apart from some neutered SLRs...

Yeah but we are not going to win by standing up to them. Do you think they care. I went to the Waikato meeting Chris Bishop held on firearms laws. When someone told him we would not vote for them, he...

Sure, fair point. But if the 50% is what you really need and the 50% you didn't get were the "nice to haves but not essential", then it's still a win. It's when you end up with nothing because...
