We got to see Gene's new concept at Tomball a few weeks ago. Pretty innovative.
This rule change has been needed for a long time, as the simple truth was, 99.9 percent of all Shooters simply shot their Sporter in LV.
This now makes the LV rifle the go to Rifle for those that just shoot one Rifle in all four group classes, including NBRSA Varmint for Score.
As Gene said, he does't look for any big changes in the near future, but at least this does give shooters the option to experiment with things such as barrel tapers and stock configurations.........Jackie
