Rifle: per ISSF spec for the discipline (smallbore .22 LR or air rifle 4.5 mm); Smallbore: .22 LR rifle, max weight 8 kg, single-shot bolt action; iron sights or scope per ISSF; Air rifle: 4.5 mm pellet, max weight 5.5 kg, max muzzle velocity 200 m/s
Why people argue about this
People often assume that just owning a .22 LR rifle is enough for NCAA Rifle competition, forgetting about other crucial components like the shooting jacket and mandatory ear protection specified in Section 2. The confusion arises because these additional pieces are not always readily available or easily accessible to all competitors.
