Vintage Sniper Match (Two-Man Team). The spirit and intent of the CMP Vintage Sniper Rifle Team Match is to provide modern target rifle competitions for competitors who use original, or replica military sniper rifles dated 1953 or earlier. This Match is a two-person team event designed to replicate and test marksmanship skills similar to those employed by traditional military sniper teams. Any rifle configuration or item of equipment that is not mentioned in these rules or that is contrary to the spirit and intent of these rules is prohibited.

No mechanical or adjustable rests, bipods or rear rests or other means of support may be used. Front bag rests may not provide a channel in which to rest the rifle. Both the shooter and the spotter may have their equipment on the team’s firing point during firing.

The competition is for two-person teams. The course of fire for each team includes one five (5) minute Sighting period and twenty (20) Record shots (each team member fires 10 shots) to be fired at 300 yards on the 300-yard SR-3 target followed by one five (5) minute Sighting period and twenty (20) Record shots (each team member fires 10 shots) at 600 yards on the 600-yard MR target (see Rule 6.5.3 for detailed match procedures). The five-minute Sighting periods are for both team members. Each team fires a total of 40 Record shots. The course of fire may be fired on either pit-operated targets or electronic targets.
