    Looks like the NRA is allowing optics for match rifle. No limit on magnification. It is supposed to be coming out in the new rule book when it is published.

    Service rifle? They just added 4x magnification last year.

    So I could throw a 10-50x on a service rifle now?

    Service rifle is limited to 4.5X. It looks like the sky is the limit, or how deep your pockets are, for match rifle now! At least Palma is still iron sights.

    Is it because the main shooter's are having eye sight problems? Fclass is the old man class as it stands now

    I think it is because the CMP changed their rules due to the service using optics. When that happened, the top service rifle shooters realized that they could give the NRA match rifle shooters a run for their money. The NRA allowing optics naturally followed.
