Calico M100 - plink - varmint - target!
In the above post, I gave my L1A1 a workout, after tuning loads for my P14, then took to plinking with the Calico M100...100 rounds of .22 in the mag, 15 turns of the magazine dial and we were in business - tin cans at 10 yards fly with the green laser, 25 yards it is "stacking em" as a tack driver with a cheap reflex sight. 100 yards the reflex dot is as big as the 12" black center...I still cannot believe I found this when I got down there - 1.8MOA!...I then finished with a rapid fire series at 18" square plates at 200 yards (TDC hold) and got entertaining "spangs" after flight time...the hunters applauded :D BTW - this is supposedly the basis for the "space laser" that "Princess Vespa" used in "Spaceballs". I hope to bring it back next year on the competition format target. :cheers:

Oct. 43 Garand at 100 meters
First target of the year, 100 meters, off a sandbag:
Attachment 48657
The Garand was last used in a 300 meter competition in summer 2013. My empirical correction back to 100 was way off - hence 2 sighters (yes, really 2 in one hole). A correction of 1 click left and 3 up produced the 5-shot group in the 10. It seems I need the NM 1/2' correction, or some very delicate drifting of the foresight blade. Actually, I shall do neither in a hurry, since the competition was prone with sling, no rests, and there is a slight difference in POI to shooting off a sandbag. Of course, should I come across an NM backsight assembly (= unobtanium over here) then I could play with 1/2 minute adjustments.
