Different Types Of Classes
Base Class
Base class is like Limited or Production divisions in other shooting sports, except instead of having a list of approved models of rifles, the only requirement is that the MSRP of your rifle and scope together must be less than $2,500. That doesn't include scope rings or bases, aftermarket triggers, and a few other bits and pieces, but in general, this will be the class where anyone with a stock rifle can just show up and shoot!!
Open Class
Open class is a little more…open. As the name implies, basically anything safe is permitted here, which exceeds the base value of $2,500.
What You Need To Get Started
You don't need to run out and buy all new gear to get started in NRL22. You are good to go if you already have a sighted in scoped .22 rimfire rifle with some ammo and a rifle case. Shooting bags can be made by filling a sock with rice and tying it off.
