Generally Long Range F Class is shot with a rifle suitable for shooting F Class Open competitions. Any calibre rifle for which that range is licensed may be used. 

In F Class rests may be used both at the front and rear of the rifle. Some shooters use a bipod at the front with the butt resting on a sandbag. As with Match Rifle the choice and inventiveness of rests abounds.

In Australia all F Class Rifle shooting is conducted under the National Rifle Association of Australia’s Standard Shooting Rules ( in other countries consult the relevant national rifle association rules). Shooters should familiarize themselves with the relevant rules and requirements before commencing shooting
