McIntosh, a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist and two-time European champion, topped the podium in the Commonwealth competition at the revamped Belmont Shooting Complex.

The 26-year-old Scot took the title in a Commonwealth record of 620.7 points to oust Seonaid McIntosh, who earned silver on 619.9.

The bronze medal went the way of Anjum Moudgil of India, who edged fourth-placed Sally Johnston of New Zealand with 616.7 points.

Johnston's total ensures she upset the home crowd as she beat Australian duo Susannah Smith and Chloe Romanoff in the continental women's 50m rifle prone event.

The veteran shooter, who clinched the gold medal in the competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and is a multiple Oceania Championships medallist, finished comfortably in front of Smith.

The Australian ended the six series of shots with 611.7 points, with Romanoff not far behind in third as she registered 609.7 points.

Australia secured the Oceania Championships team crown as Smith, Jacqui Hatzigiannis and Robyn Ridley ended with a tally of 1828.9 points.

New Zealand went home with the silver and bronze medals.

New Zealand's 'A' team, comprised of Johnston, Janet Hunt and Denver Wren, claimed silver on 1827.9 points, while the 'B' team - Allison Archer, Jessica Burgess-Smith and Helen Freiman - finished third on 1749.4.

Action at the Championships at the Gold Coast 2018 venue continues tomorrow.
