2-gun or action rifle in ON

That's interesting, I heard that rifle is coming to IPSC in Canada, would be interesting to see what exactly they are doing as not much information posted online. I hope it's not as far from "practical" as IPSC handgun matches are.
P.S. Sharon club is not easy to get in...
As for PCC - interesting, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

IPSC Rifle ...and Shotgun have been ‘in Canada’ for a long while.
‘Practical’ ...in Canada?? Have no idea how to respond to your jab at ipsc Handgun not being ‘practical’ enough for you ...except to suggest you go shoot Idpa instead if you’re looking for ‘practical’ ...and IPSC or 3 Gun or PCC matches don’t do it for you.
Yes, tough and expensive to get Sharon shares, but luckily you don’t need to be a member of Sharon to shoot IPSC rifle or handgun matches there. Just need to be an IPSC member. And I can attest that the Sharon rifle matches have some very fun and often challenging stages and have developed a good following.

IPSC Canada site has zero information on rifles, so I've just relayed what I heard from a IPSC guy I know.
I had no intentions to poke anyone. IPSC handgun is Canada and US is very... sport for the sake of sport, and lost its "practical" meaning in the name while ago. And it's not just my opinion. And I'm not looking for highly competitive discipline with tons of gear and firearm mods. I'm just looking to continue practicing action shooting with my rifle. Something that is "2-Gun" and "Action Rifle" discipline matches offer in US.

I've no clue what does "practical" supposed to be. IPSC is a shooting sport based on accuracy, power and speed. For the sake of sport or not, why would one care, I've no idea. If you like it - go with it, if you don't like it - participate in something else, or even organize your own matches/events to match your definition of "practical" anything.
As for IPSC Canada web site... Each IPSC section in Canada has it's own match and training calendar. You should contact IPSC Ontario section for more information on the Rifle training and events. Though you'd have to became IPSC member in order to participate in sanctioned IPSC matches, including ones hosted at the Sharon club (no need to be club member for those).

Horilka guelph will be having a new 2 gun tactical shooting league/matches. First one is on dec 16.
It's full mall ninja tactical gear. Targets will be bad dude holding women or turbin guy with a bomb vest, maybe Andrew may even put out his famous no shoot target....a baby holding a pitchfork.

Yes...but if you don't have one of your own, I will be renting mine...
The league Tommy is referring to is the Ontario Practical Multigun Shooting League, which is in its infancy currently with a bunch of pilot matches scheduled through the winter to work the kinks out in the rulebook. Focus will be pistol-rifle but shotgun stuff is in the works. All is subject to change but presently the basic division layout is as follows:
Operator: must wear body armour, helmet, and carry all match ammunition & equipment while competing. No PCC as primary. BUIS required if using an electronic sight.
Scout: No helmet & body armour required, but must carry all match ammunition & equipment while competing. BUIS required if using an electronic sight.
Veteran: Iron-sights only, guns must be of a design from 1958 or earlier. Must carry all match ammunition & equipment while competing.
Recruit: No requirement to carry match ammunition & equipment. No BUIS required.
Cadet: 22lr primary, otherwise same rules as Recruit.
That's just a basic summary, there's a bit more complexity such as some divisions being penalized for dropped mags, and so on. Scoring will be IPSC major/minor, with major being a 308 primary and 45 secondary (or equivelant) and minor being a 223 primary and 9mm secondary (or equivelant). Mismatched pairs are scored as minor. All PCCs are scored as minor.
Stay tuned, the rule book and other details are still being finalized. There are lots of good people (mostly familiar faces to those in the competitive shooting world) behind this and a number of CGN dealers have already stepped up to sponsor the league and prize table.

Thanks for the details and links! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am definitely in for this one, can't wait to see how it develops
Yes I would say so. The "operator" division is of course explained in greater detail in the actual rulebook, which I will make available when it is ready. Basically, the purpose of the division is to subject the shooter to realistic constraints. The body armour worn does not need to be actual rated armour; any suitably rigid material will do. The helmet likewise need not be a IIIA helmet or tactical style helmet - a bicycle or skating helmet would do just fine. The shooter is subject to a minimum total weight of equipment at match start...which is presently set at 40 lbs and very easily met. For example a stag 10, m&p 45, 100 rounds of 7.62, 50 rounds of 45, the holster, sling, plate carrier, magazines, etc etc etc with S&J Lvl IV plates is about 60 lbs. Some of the divisions are also required to start with 1L of water on their person. A shooter can abandon unnecessary equipment through the match but may not abandon ammunition or dump water.
The "recruit" division is only required to carry what they need for a given stage and it is not required to start with water. We fully expect this division to be the most competitive since it requires minimal investment in equipment and there is no penalty for dropping empty magazines on the range floor. The other divisions were born out of the original conception of creating a league around the so-called "trooper division" found at many multigun events.
As a note: manual action rifles are permitted as long as they either a) accept a detachable magazine, b) are loaded with stripper clips, or c) can be loaded from the receiver end of the firearm with the action closed
This means no round-at-a-time top-loading bolt guns and no henry style lever guns.
It must be quite exciting for you to have another use for that suit of armour, outside of the Larping league you belong to!
