If I was to drop my tikka varmint barreled action into a mdt chassis and assuming that it comes under the weight limit and any other rule, will my rifle still meet the open class category or am I now in Fclass open territory?
If its a factory barrel then you can run it in PC if its under 6.5kg, or PCO if its under 7.5kg, the stock does not matter. I just got an MDT stock for my tikka, and it drops straight in. A great choice.
23.1.2 Any stock that fits within the weight restrictions for the class being competed
in may be used and the action may be bedded in the stock.
PC:23.3.2 Weight shall be less than 6.5kg (14.3 lbs), including bolt, the mounted
telescopic sight and bipod. No additional weights may be added to any part of
the rifle.
PCO:23.4.1 Rebarrelled or rechambered Production Class rifle with the replacement barrel
not exceeding heavy varmint profile not exceeding 22.86 mm (0.9 inches) at
the muzzle and 68.5 cm (27 inches) in length – not including muzzle brake if
fitted.
23.4.2 Weight shall be less than 7.5 kg, including bolt, the mounted telescopic sight
and bipod. No additional weights may be added to any part of the rifle
