Military service rifle has up to 15 events that can be shot, with more events emerging all the time.
It is shot mainly with standard military service rifles fitted with iron sights.

The time for each distance varies depending on how many rounds are shot for each distance. Rounds needed for the entire Core match totals 30 shots.
Several events are shot as graded events, while others are contested as open. There are events for modified and scoped rifles as well.
