Hi all...I'm looking for some clarification on the trigger pull rules for Canada...particularly which class I will be able to shoot in with my current rig.
A couple of quotes follow:
This one's from the DCRA site rules:
(vii) Triggers. Trigger 'shoes' are permitted. The minimum trigger pull shall be 1.5 kilograms (approximately 3 pounds 5 ounces). See Rule 16.20(4). Care should be exercised in reducing the pull of military type triggers, as the above limit has been set primarily for commercial trigger sub-assemblies.
and;
d) Any rifle not meeting all of the above specifications, will be deemed to be a TR-O or 'F' Class rifle as appropriate. See Rules 11.05(4) and (5)
Now my question...
Being new to the sport, I was wondering if anyone could provide clarification on the trigger rules?
I just bought a Savage 12 F/TR with a "target accutrigger" that can be set from 6oz to 2.5 lbs. Does this mean that I can't use my "F/TR" rifle to shoot "F(TR)" in Canada? Will I be limited to shooting F(O)/F(F)???
If this is indeed the case, why?
Thanks for your replies.
Don
