Scoped Rifle Rule

We are going to allow scoped rifles this year.  They will be divided into two classes; as issued and open.  People in these classes will be competing only against the other shooters in their class

Rules for the Vintage Military Rifle Match – (Bolt-Action)

The match will be bench rest 50 rounds at 100 yards using the NRA SR21 and SR21C targets. Each string of 10 rounds will be fired in 5 minutes with 5 minutes in-between strings for scoring, and putting up new centers. Three sighters will be allowed before the first string of 10 with the lowest three hits on the target being dropped. For the final bolt-action match of the year the last string of 10 shots will be fired at 200 yards using the NRA MR-52 target. Spotting scopes are permitted. Ammo can be commercially purchased or handloads. Eye and Ear protection are required. Open bolt indicators must be used, and will be available at the range. As always, the decisions of the ranger officers are final. If you wish to shoot in more than one relay for score, you must shoot the additional relay with a different rifle.

There are two separate classes for the matches. People in these classes will be competing only against the others in their class.

Winners of each match will be awarded a VMRM certificate.


As Issued Class
Rifles must be BOLT action, issued by any country to its military forces. The rifle must be as issued with NO modifications of any kind.

Open Class

Rifles must be BOLT action, issued by any country to its military forces. The only thing that needs to be original is the receiver.  All other modifications are allowed

Rules for the Vintage Military Rifle Match – (Semi-Auto)

The match will be bench rest 50 rounds at 100 yards using the NRA SR21 and SR21C targets. The first strings of 10 rounds will be fired in 5 minutes. The second string of 10 rounds will be fired in 4 minutes. The third string of 10 rounds will be fired in 3 minutes. The fourth and fifth strings of 10 rounds will be fired in 2 minutes. There will be 5 minutes between strings for scoring, and putting up new centers. Three sighters will be allowed before the first string of 10 with the lowest three hits on the target being dropped. Spotting scopes are permitted. Ammo can be commercially purchased or handloads. Eye and Ear protection are required. Open bolt indicators must be used and will be available at the range. As always, the decisions of the ranger officers are final. If you wish to shoot in more than one relay for score, you must shoot the additional relay with a different rifle.

There are two separate classes for the matches. People in these classes will be competing only against the others in their class.

M1 Garand users please note that we will have a quantity of two round en-block clips for you to use during the match.

Winners of each match will be awarded a VMRM certificate. 

As Issued Class
Rifles must be Semi-Auto issued by any country to its military forces on or before 1956.  The rifle must be as issued with NO modifications of any kind.  Faithful reproductions will also be allowed in this class. 

Open Class

Rifles must be Semi-Auto, issued by any country to its military forces on or before 1956.  The only thing that needs to be original is the receiver.  All other modifications are allowed.  Faithful match-conditioned reproductions will be allowed in this class. 

1956

The 1956 date was chosen to prevent M14/M1A1 and AR-15/M16 rifles from being used in this match.  A survey of shooters indicated to us that people did not want these rifles to be legal for this competition.  If you have a question about your rifle please feel free to contact us at the numbers listed below.

Top Shooters

We will keep a running total of shooters scores across all 4 matches this year.  The top 3 shooters will be recognized at the VMRM pizza and beer party.

Fee information

Match fee will be $7.00 and we supply the targets. The matches are open to the public. Matches will be held rain or shine.  We are constrained by time so a limited number of relays will be run.
