    Good day at the range

    Went to Sac Valley Shooting Center Thursday to check zero on my rifles and to try out some handloads for the vintage military silhouette match next week.

    I usually shoot either a Persian or an '09 Argentineicon Mauser that were d&t'd by the previous owners. I ended up putting Bushnell 10x40 3200 scopes on them.



    Both rifles did well. I used the 300 yard range and started at 220 yards (200 meters), to get a good zero for the chickens.

    After a few scope corrections, the Argentine did pretty well with handloads @ 200 meters...



    The Persian wasn't quite as good as the Argentine at 200 meters



    But made up for it by shooting a smaller group at 300 yards than it did at 220...



    I also took my son's K31icon to shoot some handloads in it. It doesn't have a scope, and the stock is a little beaten up, but it shoots well.



    200 yard military match target @200 meters

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
