FRF2 sniper rifle eligibility?

[levallois]

Does anyone know if, with people buying these rifles now, they will become eligible for sniper rifle competition? The unconfirmed rumor is that 1200 were purchased from the French Govt. by Navy Arms. They would qualify as Cold War era or Modern as they were in service from 1986 to 2020-ish. The question of which scope would be allowed will be interesting as it seems that every branch of French Military Service and the Police had their own individual choice. Thank you.
