There were many stocks that met the match riflle category and you are partially correct, some of themm did not make the dimensions for sporting rifle, but some also did.
That is why the 190 was fitted with a rail, so it could be slung up for match rifle competition, but still be used in sporting rifle competition.
The 64 action was fitted with a heavier barrel in that stock originally that would not make weight for sporting rifle , it was made for match competition.
All that was needed to do was put the lighter barrel on it to make weight.
