Hey! So for the divisions here is the definitions,

- Stock - Shooters using any Ruger 10/22 factory rifle - no modifications are allowed except for fit. i.e. butt pads, cheek risers. - Open - Ruger 10/22 Modified - all mods allowed. - Unlimited - All other 10/22 pattern rifles not made by Ruger - Outlaw - All non-10/22 receiver and non-10/22 magazine fed rifles.

I have a couple questions. First off what is a 10/22 pattern rifle not made by Ruger?

Second, would a CZ 457 Varmint At-One .22LR be in unlimited or outlaw division?
 
Outlaw. Non Ruger; Dlask, Kidd, Volquartsen, Greybirch, etc. If you have the rifle already, just use that one. The prize table is random draw. If you review the stages, the steel stage would be tougher to be competitive with a bolt. I was shooting positional stages today and a semi that is accurate enough sure makes some things easier. My Ruger Competition outshoots my Savage MK2. I had several 10 rnd groups at 89M under 1 1/2” yesterday. One I got lucky and under 1”.
 
So say I have a 10/22 that I am modifying. New barrel and stock makes it go into "open". But now I want to really upgrade this (it still won't make me shoot better, but I can talked about how awesome the gun is). What if I start to take some of those internal Ruger 10/22 parts out and swap them with aftermarket parts. Like say I replace the bolt, trigger and receiver. I pretty much have a 10/22 that no parts were made by Ruger.
 
So the difference between Open, Unlimited and Outlaw is as follows. Open you can modify everything except for the receiver (barrel, trigger, bolt, etc). The receiver must be original. In Unlimited you use a another manufacture of the 10/22 receiver (Kidd receiver for example). For Outlaw it is all other platforms except the 10/22 (Vudoo for example).
 
Yes, the X-22 portion details the classes. It doesn’t really matter.
because if you win you get a little medal on a ribbon necklace. I think the X-22 was designed for the 10/22 modders, but expanded so everyone can play. If you want to buy a rifle to game it as much as can be done, buy a Ruger 10/22 Competition. It goes in stock class for now. Depending on how the best shooters using one finish this year, I will probably put mine in a chassis and an IBI barrel next year. Part of the appeal of wide open gun classes is to see what actually helps good shooter beat other good shooters. Like a proof of concept. When UFC started they did the same thing; throw champs of various styles together to see what actually made a difference. Built 10/22s have been quite successful in CRPS. Question is, will the same shooter with verified world class experience shoot better with a bolt or semi? Does the CRPS stage time limits tilt things toward a semi? It sure is easier to maintain position and get the shots off, especially if you spend some $$ on optics and use more holdovers instead of dialing elevation corrections. It may be that due to 22LR ammo limitations, a built semi shoots as good as a Voodoo at 200-400M. If I get the opportunity to test both high end options some day, I’ll let you know from an amateur point of view. Of course, a clear decision either way would leave some shooters disappointed. At the amateur level, a solid shooter with a $300 Savage and practice time will kick ass.
 
For me, PRS whether CF or RF is a time management game. Viewed through that Prism, semis have a distinct advantage

And that has shown up in the scores of many of the rimfire matches shot out west in 2019/20

X/22 is a different animal and will be a game of compromises. Be interesting to see how it all balances out.
