OSA NEW Service Rifle Practice - 17 May 2026
OSA's NEW Service Rifle is our version of traditional service rifle, but modified to reflect current legal restrictions. Like 2016 NSCC, but MilCun-style.
OSA members, affiliates and guests are welcome to participate in service rifle practices.
There are 16 matches in four stages, fired at 200, 300, 400, and 500 meters. Each stage includes a deliberate, a snap, a rapid, and a fire-and-movement match. Only deliberate matches will have sighters. Targets are military Figures. Practices will focus on a limited set of stages or distances so that we can do "work ups". Due to range limitations, all 100-meter matches will be modified for 150 meters.
Classes (if we have enough participants) will be:
- Modern - any rifle, any sight, total weight less than 5 kg, trigger weight minimum of 1 kg;
- Vintage - any rifle that was on general issue to regular infantry from any army;
- Sniper - rifle and equipment as per OSA MOS rules, shot from the prone position.
You can download detailed rules and the course of fire from the osacanada.ca website (Events page).
Ammunition must be proven safe in your rifle; you must have previously fired at least 50 rounds of this load in this rifle. If the ammo shows any signs of excess pressure, you must withdraw. You'll need about 200-250 rounds for the day.
Working electronic ear defenders and safety glasses are mandatory. A spotting scope is recommended. Bring your own lunch and lots of fluid.
$75.00 for non-members. $25.00 off for OSA members, $25.00 off for OSA affiliate members. If you're under 18, register as a junior. OSA Volunteers who want to claim their discount on this event, please email me.
