1968 M39 with range report.

I've been on a tear digging out rifles that I've bought over the last few years and never shot.

I got this 1968 "sneak" M39 back in 2010 and got busy and didn't fire it. I finally took it out of the safe and took it to the range last week to see what it could do.

I used some Prvi "match" 54R ammo @ 100 yards with these results.

I fired the first two that hit the center, then threw one up at 11 o'clock, then another two in the center, then the last two hit @ 11 o'clock. Not sure why it did that because I had the sense that they were all good shots on my part.

Those Huckleberrys sure shoot good don't they.

Sweet.

They sure can. I've used my "B" barrel M39 in several vintage military silhouette matches, with decent results

Is it .308 or .312/11 bore.

I haven't slugged the bore, but the M39's have a .310 bore...or at least they are supposed to.
