Where can I find published rules for F/TR and F open. Assuming those
are the only two
are the only two
F class

Bear in mind... F-Class is not a separate stand-alone discipline. It is a sub-category or equipment class of conventional NRA High Power and Fullbore Prone competition. As such, you need to look in the appropriate *section* of those rule books, and also bear in mind that sections of the larger rule book still apply. Not the cleanest situation, but it is what it is.

Bob,
F-T/R calibers are ONLY .223 Remington/5.56 NATO or .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO.
Action type is per your choosing. While single shots are allowed, repeaters are used as well. However, as only one round at a time is allowed in the rifle, it is not required to use a repeater.
Restrictions on stocks are listed in the rulebooks.

Cliff notes version:
F/TR: .223 Rem or .308 Win, fired from a bipod and/or sling with a rear bag. Weight limit 18.15lbs as you pick the gun up off the ground. No limits on barrel length, twist rate, stock design, trigger weight, or action type. 'Unmodified' .223 or .308 is normally interpreted as 'not improved'; tight/match chambers with custom throating are common place in both NRA High Power, Fullbore, and F/TR (which has its roots in Fullbore). This is not a 'factory' class nor is it a 'Tactical Rifle' class, though many rifles of either type fit neatly within its rules. 'TR' stands for 'Target Rifle'...
F/Open: Caliber limit of .35, or as set by hosting organization or facility. Weight limit of 22lbs as you pick it up off the rests (does not include front rest or rear bag). Fore-end width limit of roughly 3" (76mm, which is just a fuzz under 3"). Basically no other limits on stock design, trigger weight, etc.
Solid contact with the ground is not allowed (like an Accushot monopod), nor a mechanically adjustable rear rest, nor one-piece rests. You can stack pretty much whatever you want under either end of the gun to achieve a level firing point, but there are defined limits on the size (width). Rifle must be fired 'from the shoulder', i.e. not 'free recoil'.
