Announcing the 2015 Ruger 204um Five Shot Challenge. This is a one hundred (100) yard, five shot group challenge. Winner of each class will be determined by smallest group size with ties being determined by group midpoint distance from point of aim. Registration is limited to registered 204 Ruger Forum members. Classes are available for Production, Modified Production, Custom, and AR platform rifles. Members will be allowed to enter multiple classes. First, second and third place winners will be awarded in each class. The Challenge will also award an Overall Grand Champion and Runner Up without respect to class of firearm. All competitors must shoot the 204 Ruger cartridge. Questionable class registration will be decided by member consensus. The use of bags, rests or bipods is permitted.
Production Class – Off the shelf mass production rifles with off the shelf, non-boosted, scopes. Does not include “custom shop” models. There are some production rifles that, by the nature of their components or construction techniques, could have an advantage over other mass production rifles. These rifles should enter the Modified Production Class. (Examples: Savage 12 Palma, Cooper TRP3)
Modified Production Class – A rifle meeting the above criteria, however having been accurized by the installation of aftermarket parts. Rifles in this class would include “custom shop” models or those rifles whose components or construction techniques would give them an advantage over Production Class rifles. These modifications may include aftermarket triggers and/or barrels.
Custom Class – This is an open class intended for rifles that are constructed from independent components including barrels, triggers, stocks, and actions. There are no restrictions in this class aside from caliber. These rifles are generally assembled by professional gunsmiths and may include custom chambers and rifling.
AR Class – These rifles are built on an AR platform with upper and lower receiver groups. Modifications are expected in this class due to the nature of some builds and the interchangeability of components.
