300 m standard rifle

1

300 m standard rifle is one of the ISSF shooting events. It is similar to 300 metre rifle but there are more restrictions on the rifle (quite similar to those in 10 metre air rifle). The course of fire is a three positions program of 3x20 shots. This event is based in competitions with army-style rifles, and in this form dates back at least to the 19th century, although the early championships had a true army rifle event, using the model of the host country's choice. The standard rifle event as such was introduced in 1947. 300 metre standard rifle is also on the program of the CISM military world championships.

Equipment

The rifle must satisfy dimensional, weight, and other requirements stipulated in the rulebook. Iron sights, rather than telescopic or other sights must be used, and muzzle brakes are not permitted. Trigger pull weight must be at least 1,500 grams, rifle weight may not exceed 5.5 kg, and barrel may not be longer than 762 mm. The calibre may not exceed 8 mm, although 6 mm BR is the most common. The same rifle must be used in all positions without any changes except adjustment of the butt plate, handstop or rear sight.
