2013 Ultimate 10/22 Contest Rules:
Ultimate Build Characteristics- These are the areas to be considered when judging rifles and casting your votes:
Originality: Is there anything unique/different about the build?
Material Quality: Simple- what components and materials- Fit & Finish.
Execution: How well does it function? Is it thrown together, or did the builder pay attention to detail, such as paint/polish/customization/ergonomic adaptation
Accuracy: we need a standard. I propose MOA to 50 for scoped rigs as a minimum, and either 2 or 3 MOA to 25 or 50 for iron sight rigs as a minimum.
Artistic Impression: that overall X factor that makes a rifle cool-
Personally, I want this contest to be INCLUSIVE, not EXCLUSIVE.
That means builds that are exceptional, for whatever reason, have a shot.
BR, Tactical, Offhand Custom, Superstock, OEM- ANY 10-22 Variant should be considered.
It might be incredibly beautiful, with no submitted targets.
It might be a hand built, full custom, that looks better than it shoots.
It might be comprised of all aftermarket parts, but was assembled, tuned, bedded maybe refinished and has the targets to prove the work behind it.
It might be a Tactical, well thought out with all the right parts and purpose built.
It might be a plain Jane 10-22 that shoots incredible bug holes and is in pristine condition.
It might be one of the early serial numbers- unfired, NIB, representing our origins.
Leave it to the members to vote and decide.
Tell us about our rifle. Everything you can- and post pictures. I cannot stress this enough, good quality pictures will likely make or break some entries in this contest.
You CAN post a link to another thread, if appropriate, or to your own or another members rifle in one of the picture threads.
PLEASE POST A BIO, BUILD SPECS, TARGETS AND PHOTOS IN THE SUBMISSION THREAD! You may also wish to post a link to the original build thread, if applicable.
IF MEMBERS DON'T SEE IT, YOUR RIFLE WILL NOT CAPTURE ATTENTION AND VOTES!
Submissions/nominations will be accepted from 9/1-9/10
There will be a PRELIMINARY VOTE held from 9/10-9-20, to narrow the field to THREE FINALISTS. MEMBERS will be allowed to cast THREE votes in the preliminary poll to vote for the rifles they consider to be the top three.
The final vote will be in blind poll form, held from 9/20-9/30.
RFC MEMBERS who are INTERESTED in having a contest run in another forum, OTHER THAN Ruger 10-22s, please PM or email me and we will look into expanding this into other areas of RFC in the coming months or in 2014.
Respectfully,
DrGunner
