All,
I didn't read the IBS rule book correctly...
"C) Light Gun Class:
1) Guns shooting in the light gun class weigh no more than 17 pounds, including
scope or other sighting devices.
2) The rear rest must not be mechanical in nature. Bunny ear type similar bags are
acceptable.
3) Muzzle brakes may be used, but they may not be of a "clamshell" or any other
design that exit gases to the rear."
What I should have been reading was...
"3) Light Varmint Rifle
Any rifle of not more than 10 1/2 pounds in weight inclusive of sights and
otherwise meeting the requirements of the Heavy Varmint Rifle. No additions or
attachments shall be added to the barrel, with the exception of a scope shade
(such as those that have been used in competition over the history of the IBS)
which are attached to the barrel by the means of tape, Velcro, or glue.
a) The use of barrel tuners is allowed as described in V.B.2.a).
b) The use of muzzle brakes and/or venting or porting of barrels that redirects
powder gas flow from following the direct line of the rifle bore shall not be
allowed."
I had ordered The TB-250 (left) when I should have ordered the BTS-100 (right). Today is Monday the 7th of October and the State Championships for VA are this coming Saturday. I called and e-mail Eric at www-bostromgunsmithing-com and told him the situation. He stopped what he was doing and went to the post office to mail me the BTS-100.
To me that's the kind of service that ought to be relayed to other shooters.
Thanks for reading
