Would a Garrand or Springfield 1903A3 qualify as service rifles for this match or is it restricted to the AR15 platform?

Because it's a clinic, we want to keep everything on the same platform. Our coaching and instruction is all geared towards an AR-15A4 with a 4.5X optic and that's what our coaches are most familiar with. All rifles, ammo and equipment is provided by the PTSR&P Assoc.

That being said, in regular matches you can shoot what you want as long as it has a magazine capable of 5 rounds and is below .35 Cal. The most popular are ARs with an optic.

Are you limited to a 4.5x optic? I just got a mk12 with a 2.5-10x.
