[QUOTE="Lomshek, post: 3084661, member: 9239"] Appleseed allows all rifle types BUT the course of fire is designed around a semi-auto with detachable magazines made for quick reloads. If you haven't done an Appleseed before you'll probably struggle with a bolt gun and moreso with one whose magazine was not meant to be quickly swapped out for a speed (relatively fast anyway) reload. To give you an idea the course of fire for Stage 2 of the AQT (Appleseed Qualification Test) has you begin standing with an empty rifle. On the start signal you drop to seated or kneeling, load a 2 round magazine in the rifle, fire 2 rounds at the first target, reload with an 8 round mag, fire 3 more rounds at the first target then fire 5 rounds at the second target. You have 55 seconds to do all that. Most folks until they're pretty practiced struggle to finish that with a semi-auto. You definitely need more than one mag no matter what rifle you bring. The bare minimum you need is two mags but you'll be much happier with 3 or 4 so that you can prep a few mags during lulls. If you have a 10/22 that's been modified with Tech Sights or has a scope and maybe an extended mag release it would be much better suited for Appleseed. AR's and other military pattern rifles in rimfire or centerfire are, of course, ideally suited for Appleseed. [/QUOTE]
