According to section 9.2.3 of CMP GAMES RIFLE COMPETITION RULES, the maximum weight of the rifle, including sights ,scope, can not exceed 7.5 pounds.
I have Tikka T1X's and CZ 457 AT-ONE . It's hard or impossible to meet this weight restriction
With a scope.on rifle.
Does all completion have this Weight rule??

Just about every comp will have equipment weight maximums.

My son shoots 4H and CMP rimfire sporter, with 4H following cmp rules. I built him a 10/22 with upgrades on just about every part including barrel, topped it with vortex rings and a Diamondback 4-16x44. Weighs in at 7lbs 5.75oz. I had to get the rifles starting weight, then contact part manufacturer's for each upgrade/addition's exact weight then do the calculations to be sure I didn't bust the weight maximum.

At Riverbend Gun Club, when shooting the NRA light rifle competition, they actually weigh the guns on a scale. And they have trigger scales to measure the weight of the trigger as well.

Weight restrictions are different competition to competition. Check the rules. Prs style comps rarely have a limit.

ARA doesn't.

Yep. Trigger pull weight restrictions for my son's rimfire CMP and 4H comps as well. 3lb minimum pull, which can make trigger upgrades a challenge since most drop in upgrades are well under a 3lb pull.
