    A good day at the range...

    Took out my T and ran a few rounds through it. I'm always amazed at the quality, accuracy, and ruggedness of these 70+ year old rifles. This rifle is stored inside a gun sock in my safe. It gets bumped as I move guns in and out of the safe. The zero has not changed in the past two years. Many thanks to Mr. Laidlericon for freeing up the drums and putting it right as rain (Peter, this is Kershaw #23074).

    My rifle produced the following 10-shot groups at 100 yards. I guess it is cheating since I used handloads. First pic were 150 gr round spitzers over Varget. Second pic were 180 gr rn's, also over Varget. I keep the velocities to around 2300 FPS. No sense in max-loading for these rifles.

    Were they shot "off the elbows", or over a rest?
    Certainly shows it to be an accurate rifle.

    Front sand bag rest under forearm, supported by my left hand. Off my nubby elbows elsewhere. Picked up a few splinters from the shooting bench!

    Probably should have worn long sleeves, but it was a 75 degree southern California day....
