AFAIK, there is nothing like the Norwegian rifle matches held in Canada as far as I know.

I have used and practiced the trigger technique they use in these matches. It takes getting used to but is pretty darn quick.
They grip the bolt with their thumb/index finger and use either their middle finger or next finger as the trigger finger.

I was in Norway in the mid 1990s and shot one of their practice matches using the Sauer STR 200 rifle in 6.5 X 55 Swede. It was a great experience!!! The STR 200 is a very nice rifle and the open sights are great. IIRC, I did price out one of these rifles when I got back home and it was around the $2000.00 Cdn mark back in 1995.
