New SSRs proposed

Has anyone else read the proposed SSRs as relating to sporter class. ? I was reluctant to add this to an existing thread and make that thread even longer....
From what I can see the main thing is a name change from SP/SPO to SC/SI (Sporter class/sporter improved)
how many name changes does that make ?
The rifle rules seemed the same unless i am missing something .....
no changes to the scoring scheme which is fine, it works for TR, though I dont mind one way or the other about that, if we had FO scoring that would be good too but that was not mentioned so i digress....
any comments ? someone else might notice something I missed.

there are all these extra rules like i cant have padding under my right elbow? though they may have been somewhere else in the ssrs before...

there is a list of "approved rifles" - whatever that means on page 89 of the draft rules. Whether that means that rifles not on the list can't be used, it is not clear.
But if you've bought a rifle not on the list or have built one up from an action, then I suggest you find out.
It does say that it applies to SP class and not SI (I think)

I would guess they are trying to get rid of the Hardy's and other ridiculously expensive 'factory' rifles that are not in the spirit of the class.

mine are a savage 10 and tikka t3. I think AIs and TRGs are good, but there is a tikka tac model that would be just as accurate for SC.

Perhaps, if they just got rid of the rear bag it would be more a competition of skill than bank account. We wouldn't need 2 disciplines either, nor a scope restriction or muzzle diameter, just a weight limit. Let the shooter decide where the weight is best used.

If its not broken why try and fix it. Or should I be asking ( Is it broken? ).Would be great if the NSWRA would give more details on what the problem is ?
I have a tikka t3 that shoots very accurately and would not consider replacing it for a AL or TRG.

There is merit in this, particularly for SC (production class) and it helps it be a pathway to Target Rifle, inexpensive equipment, bipod but still shouldering the rifle and managing your body movement.
I would encourage people to try 5 shots with the rear bag, then 5 without it and see and feel the difference.
It also has more application as an aid to training in a hunting context as well, which may aid in encouraging hunters to participate and join NRAA affiliated clubs and attend prize meetings.
