A shooting mat like this one makes the prone strings much more comfortable. You will be on the ground, rain or shine.

-Any action (semi-auto, bolt, lever etc...), but needs to hold at least 5 rounds
-May have scope (set to 4X max) or open sights

-Bipod or any other form of artificial support. You will hold the rifle up on all six stages.
Rimfire Sporter is a "come as you are" competition, which does not allow special accurizing or expensive gear to shoot. A simple 22LR rifle is all you need (and a few bullets)
