Jeff, you would have to ask the NRAA office as to whether they have received a motion from the state associations to change the rules for 2007. at the moment thier is no rule but I would'nt build one yet that will be heavy until we have the new rules up and running, saying that, I would not turn up at a range with one weighing 20kg cause you might have to go to hospital to get it removed.
As far as size goes I was at the Vic Qns last year and one turned up with one about 800mm wide. quite legal at the time.

Hi JR
My little 223 weighs in at 5.6kg complete with bipod and I will stick with it when I shoot Std F, it's able to compete with the heavier ones, one things for sure, you have to put them there, as far as removing heavy bipods in the future, if they are over the new limit it will be up the range officer of the day, good shooting.
