[6.5SH]

If I had to venture a guess, standard is .223/5.56, open is everything else.

I think standard is 223 and 308. They didn’t say anything about other limitations at the match I went to, and it’s a pretty casual atmosphere.

Yeah but I don’t see that open / recce / tactical options like for that match.
Just semi auto open and semi auto standard.

I don’t think the the AI will fly there.
If it’s just 223/308 and everything else. I have accurate 20”semi auto 556/762 or 65cm to bring

There were 6.5 Creedmoors and 6 ARCs, which I think would be open. I don’t remember any bolt guns. I suppose you could bring both and decide on the morning.

edit: that’s a good point about the phrase “semi auto” in the classes. Probably wouldn’t allow bolt guns. I heard they may make that switch for the main Geissele series next year too. As we saw, without paying attention to stage design, bolt guns have a large advantage.

Yeah I’m going to set up either a recce or tactical semi for next year.

The classes weren't even mentioned at the last two matches. Most folks assumed the "Standard" is 5.56, and "Open" is everything else. The results and trophies weren't separate.
A 5.56 won both matches.

5.56 won both matches

Surprising I would figure the 308s would best the 556s from 6-800 yds

If I remember correctly there was only one stage with a shot past 600 or so.
