Viking Rifle Series position on COVID-19
During this outbreak of COVID-19 we’ve decided to postpone our finale to 2021 and make it a 2019/2021 season. We have already taken some measures and postponed a match in Norway and one in Sweden that was to take place in April.
We hope to be able to start running matches again later this year and our previous rule of counting scores from your two best matches for the finale will be changed to three if we can get enough matches going before the finale 2021.
We will come back with a public announcement when we know that people can start to travel again, and it is safe to run matches. Spend time in the outdoors, practice shooting, find the perfect load and wash your hands.
Food for thought: If the medical system becomes overloaded with COVID-19 patients, people with other problems will also suffer the consequences, children and young adults alike. So, think before you travel. Help flatten the curve. Help and take care of each other. Stay safe.

VRS Talvisota was dreaded for months due to being in February in Finland but temperatures were surprisingly "mild" and all competitors survived. Finland also got their first shooter on the podium 🥳 Top 3 as follows
1. @oscarjarvi (Swe)
2. @rhkallio (Fin)
3. @gunnarn_prs (Swe) The raffled @schmidtandbender scope went to the photographer and RO Jenny who just started shooting and untill now didn't own her own scope 😁A feel good moment for us for sure 😊

We feel like this is one of those success stories we must share!
Early 2019 Andy Hawkins of @hawkins_precision contacted us and wanted to sponsor our series with his new tikka rings that has a built in 25moa cant, bubble level and bolts straight to the receiver. We gladly said yes and we saw great potential in his product for our Scandinavian market.
Shipping from the states wasn't a walk in the park but eventually all rings arrived and found their way out on the price tables to a bunch of lucky shooters.
Andy even made his way over the Atlantic with his family and won one of our matches and apart from being a fantastic shooter also turned out to be an all around awesome person to be around.
And now, one year after the initial video conference, @jakt.se , one of Sweden's biggest online stores for hunting and shooting, now has Andy's tikka rings on their website. If that isn't a successful sponsor story we don't know what is :-)

So we've added a new match! A seasoned MD got his match approved for VRS status, it'll be hosted on a Norwegian military training field west of Oslo and will have a few unique features thanks to that! Registration opens 8th of January 8pm local time.
Don't be scared by the registration fee, besides from free lodging and supper on both days it'll be a pretty unique experience 👌 For more info, visit our match calendar at www.vikingrifleseries.com

We did have to cancel a match earlier this year, which leaves us with a very beautiful certificate from @armageddongear !
To be able to participate in the draw of this beautiful piece of paper there's a special thing you have to do.
The owner of the company just recently got labeled as a "semi pro" in the PRS, but we all know he's still a PRO shooter. So write his name and tell him he's still a PRO to you🤘
The draw will be on both Facebook and Instagram, and if you tag a buddy it'll increase your chances. Only one post per person per platform 😘

So just because NM Langhold got canceled you thought you'd miss out on a match with freezing temperatures and snow down your necks? Finland stepped up and host this event up near Vasa! REGISTRATION opens next Sunday (8th) at 8pm (20:00). Visist the website for more info about the match!

Winter time is riflebuild time and getting the correct balance point is key. MDT changed the game a bit when they released the ACC and its modular weight kits and their chassi can be seen in the hands of many capable competitors around the world!
They also happen to sponsor every single match that we have which we know our competitors are extremely grateful for after handing out a bunch of certs, magazines and other gear this season! So if you're looking for something to drop your rifle in to, look no further, support those who support the sport (plus it's an awesome product 😉) @mdttac21

Go in and give @internationalbarrels a follow, they make an awesome product that's easy for us Scandinavians to get a hold of and is currently being used by several of our competitors 🤘 Oh, and they're also sponsoring every single match with a barrel cert 😍

The VRS season has come to a halt, short days and the fact that probably the bigger part of our community is out hunting made us make the decision when we founded the series that we wont host any matches during this period (also kind of hard to get land for shooting when people hunt on it 😂) But if you keep your eyes open, there might be a little late season raffle coming up 😎 Credit to from @wiebadgear (@get_regrann) - #Repost @twin_valley_precision

Awsome training day. The 130 grain Hornady ELD-M’s are doing really well beyond 1000m. There where shifting wind speeds (6-18 mph) and a cross wind on the second half of the distance. It was possible to shoot pretty consistent out to 1150m. #getwiebadsolid #wiebad #accuracyinternational #accuracy_international_ltd #schmidtandbender #atlasbipods #rrssoar #nmlanghold2019 #vikingrifleseries #precisionshooting #precisionreloading #pewpewlife - #regrann

Just a few days left untill the Östersund match kicks off in the "republic" of Jämtland 🥳🥳 Here's some pics from Vasa to enjoy
Repost from @paukatti - Stone Lake PRS, Viking Rifle Series competition. Competiton was tight and I finished 10th and I was 2nd best Finnish shooter. I did pretty well with Lapua 175gr factory rounds with my Tikka T3 .308 with Minox ZP5 scope 🤘 This was last competiton for this year! Thanks for Lapua, Vihtavuori, Minox, MDT, Savotta, Varusteleka and all other who have support me this year! Thanks for Pauli S. for pictures! #vikingrifleseries #mdt #ShootBetter #tikkat3 #precisionrifleseries #prs #lapuaammo #longrangeshooting #reserviläisurheilu #tactical #vihtavuori #minox #zp5 #savotta

Now how cool would this be? 😎 we're sure hoping this works out 😍 Credit to @longrangeviking - VIKING RIFLE SERIES @ SVALBARD
How about a Polar Edition of a Viking Rifle Series event at Svalbard? This would be The Northernmost PRS -type match EVER!We just arrived at Longyearbyen, the Worlds Northernmost commercial airport, a mere 1309 kilometres from the North Pole!
@sverrelidtveit and I made the trip to Svalbard to find out if a VRS MATCH is possible here. Things are a bit different around here. There are reindeer and polar fox running around in town. And sometimes polar bears! Lots of bears lately.
Due to the possibility of running in to polar bears in the area, you are not allowed to leave town without firearms. But that shouldn't be a problem for VRS competitors:) We have a busy week ahead of us, hanging out with family and friends, scouting possible locations and meeting with local authorities. @brownellsnorge @viking_rifle_series -

A slightly later update than usual!
The coldbore match turned out to be a ton of fun, although challenging with more than 30km of hiking😂 1. @twin_valley_precision

4. @markku_ur
5. @6.5_hunting
Fun facts: We now have 635 registered shooters and have had shooters from 12 different countries and have had 48281 hits on steel since the series started 🥳🥳
