    Always looking to try other disciplines, this gallery rifle lark could be worth a look. You need a semi auto .22LR rifle, which is a fairly broad term...

    Well the rules - as adopted from the NRA UK Gallery Rifle and Pistol handbook are as follows:
    GRSB – Gallery Rifle Small Bore

    A2.3.1 Any Gallery Rifle in .22” rimfire which is, in the opinion of the NRA, of conventional design and safe, may be used. The standard for GRSB is a self-loading rifle with a detachable magazine. Other designs are permitted. All GRSB must comply with the following: [166]

    Calibre. .22” rimfire only.

    Trigger Weight. No minimum permitted trigger weight, but the trigger must
    be safe in the judgement of the CRO.

    Slings. The use of slings is prohibited.

    Sights. Two types of sights are permitted:

    i. Iron. Iron sights which may include sights of any colour.

    ii. Optical. Optical sights may include telescopes and ‘red dot’ sights but not lasers which project onto the target itself.

    The most common rifle in use for the discipline would be the Ruger 10/22 but the Browning Buckmark, while not quite as popular is holding it's own in terms of success.

    If you plan to seek a license for a specific type of rifle for Gallery Rifle and are unsure as to whether or not it will be permitted in competition then email galleryrifle@nasrpc.ie to find out.

    I'm in the north, but to be honest this will be used at my club only I'd imagine, or maybe local comps at other clubs. The Ruger would be the most popular for sure, but the H&K looks much more fun :D

    Look good and lose > look bad and win

    Can't see anything in the rules why it wouldn't be suitable/allowed.

    Lots of the highly-modded Ruger 10/22 in my club, as well as the GSG-5.

    See the South Yorkshire guns site...you COULD end up with nothing of your original 10/22 except a trigger guard screw.

    Sure I'm pupping. Was on the phone today to see when they'd be in :D

    End of the month it seems.

    Any way to start the ball rolling with an application with serial to follow?
