Re: Would these rifles make it for FTR/F-class?
Nice looking rifles. FT/R is fired off a bipod and must be either .308 or .223, so the one would work but the 6mm wouldn't. You could shoot the 6mm in open class.

Re: Would these rifles make it for FTR/F-class?
In Open class you would compete against the bench rest type rifles on bench rests, not bipods as in TR class. TR class is limited to .223 and .308 target rifles. In strict definition they have to be repeaters, not single shots. Not all clubs enforce this rule.
Go out and shoot. It is fun, you'll meet nice people, and learn alot.
Good luck

Thanks Jerry, the 6mm has shot some nice groups in its day but couldnt compete with BR guns. Would these rifles be best suited for Tactical competition then? or.......??

This is not true. The TR in F-TR is for Target Rifle as defined in the NRA Fullbore rules:
<span style="color: #3366FF">3.3.5 Target Rifle:
(a) A rifle with metallic sights chambered for the unmodified .308/7.62mm NATO cartridge case. This rifle
has no restrictions regarding weight of the rifle or trigger. However, the trigger must be safe.
</span>
This definition is amended under F class as follows:
<span style="color: #3366FF">(b) F-Class Target (F-T/R) - A rifle restricted to the chambers of unmodified .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO or
unmodified .223 Remington/5/56mm x 45 NATO cartridge cases. The rifle must be fired off a bipod, rigidly
attached to the rifle’s forend, and/or a sling. Any bipod, meeting the definition of a bipod, may be used but its
weight must be included in the rifle’s overall weight. Any safe, manually operated trigger is permitted. Any
sighting system is permitted , but it must be included in the rifle’s overall weight.
The provisions of Rules 3.16 and 3.16.1 apply to the definition.
(1) The rifle’s overall weight, including all attachments such as sights, sling and bipod, must not exceed 8.25
kilograms (approximately 18.15 pounds). An “attachment” also includes any external object, other than
the competitor and apparel, which recoils or partially recoils with the rifle, or which is clamped, held, or
joined in any way to the rifle for each shot, or which even slightly raises with the lifting of the rifle from its
rest/firing point.
(2) The rifle must be fired in the prone position from the shoulder of the competitor using rifle rests as
defined 3.4.1(b).</span>
F class is regulated under the NRA Fullbore rifle rules found here. [color:#3366FF][/color]
