This is the July 2009 THR "Century" rifle match. This match is for either rifles that are over 100yrs old or centerfire cartridges that were introduced over 100yrs ago. These two criteria will be scored in different classes. This match is wide open to all sorts of rifles from Garands to Winchester m94's, Moisin's to Rem 700's just depending on caliber and firearm age. If we get enough submissions I'll break the results down into categories by action type.
