Hi,
I'm sorry, I do not speak Norwegian, so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this. I hope no one is offended by me asking in English.
I have an interest in the type of shooting you do in the video shown here:

We do a type of shooting here in Canada called "Service Rifle" that is normally shot with a C7 (or AR-15). I would like to try it with a bolt action rifle. Some of the matches would required fast shooting like you do in your Landsskytterstevnet. I know the preferred rifle for this is the Sauer 200 STR, and that it is also shot with a Krag or M67. The Sauer is pretty expensive, and Krags and M67's are sometimes hard to come by. Plus, we normally use 5.56x45mm (.223 Rem) ammunition for this.
What I'm wondering is if people sometime train or practice for Landsskytterstevnet on inexpensive modern commercial rifles, and if so, what kind are popular? Something with a smooth action that doesn't bind, I would imagine. The cocking force would probably also be a concern. A rifle that cocks on closing might be advantageous, but there are not many modern rifles that cock on close. Of the rifles I have looked at, the Tikka T3 looks like it might be a good candidate.
Any help would be appreciated. I came here because... well, Norwegians are the experts on this kind of shooting.
Thank you in advance!
Kris
