Too bad they won't allow you to use the scope you have /set/ on 12x.

And I think my trigger's too light too, for the new class. Oh, and my barrel is too long, too...oh well - I like the idea of the new class they've created - I think it will bring in a lot of new shooters.

Come shoot, they will let you use any rifle.
They are not strict on the rules. The rules are only strictly enforced at Nationals.
No trigger weight-in. Worse case would be you would fall into the F-Class category and not Tactical AR.

I’m really tempted to bring my Savage .308 with it’s fixed 12 power scope. I’m confident I could do well, unless its windy... then I’m probably hosed

Are all shots at 600 yds?
