I need Some Help On Defining a "Stock"

Given a small club, where different classes are often shot on the same
relay, no flags for some classes is a burden on a club. A modified
class is basically an improved factory gun. Modified in drag racing
is not a slightly detuned funny car. A 2 1/2 in forearm even slightly
convex as in NBRSA Hunter is not nearly as detrimental as some would think.
The limiting factor has always been the 6 power scope. Example:
a competitor takes a BR HV in 30 br, changes the stock down to
2 1/2 wide, puts his 36X back on and wins time after time in modified.
This sends lots of people home. I would certainly take a 2 1/2 inch
stock over a single shot action. A Remington or savage with
wide, but rounded stock needs way more control. Flat bottoms, 2 1/2
or 3 are a great advantage. Allowing 3 inch wide plates on forearms
is another way to level the playing field. The stock is all important.
 
Rules question

One question that comes to my mind is would muzzle brakes and or tuners be allowed in modified and or factory class?
 
Dotson

I allow muzzle brakes, we put them on the far right side with two benches between them and the #20 bench. That seems to be working.

A Factory Rifle can only have a brake or a tuner if it came on it out of the box.

Henry:
That is exactly what we are doing.

I can't change the rules after the Season begins. (I was reminded of this by more than one shooter). Afterall, this isn't NASCAR:D

I will have to go with what I have already said. If I determine it is a "Benchrest" (with a capitol "B"), Stock, I can't allow it in Modified.

I suppose that means that if you take a recognized Benchrest Stock and cut the forarm down to 2.5 inches, you will probably be shooting in the Benchrest Class.......jackie
