You get to shoot the match twice with the same gun, Match jitters etc get worked out and most will shoot the 2nd better, or if screwing up the first match you have a 2nd chance at it. If switching light to heavy you have to adjust to the weight and different trigger and it takes a while. It's a quirk of the rule and NRA Silhouette committies poor decision years ago to do away with what was a nearly factory stock hunter rifle class. We had class seperation now we don't have enough to make a difference

No doubt about it more gun weight and lighter trigger will allow the shooter to hit more targets, just not enough to overcome the strategic advantage

One of the shooters from Mexico had one at last years TX state match and shot it very well.
I Hambone is shooting one as well, sweet rifle (I tried to buy it from him, but would have had to paint over the those ugly stock colors though =)) )

Well I am sure Hammie might be interested in selling it now. He can put the money towards his and Baby Huey's honeymoon as it appears they have run off and eloped together. =))

Trespassers will be shot.
Survivors will be shot again!
