Scoped M1917

[chainsaw]

Shot my scoped 1917 today.We have an 8"x12" steel at 530 yrds.I hit pretty close all around it,within a foot or so,would that be descent accuracy for a 1917?

Not really. That size, 8x12", is about the kill zone on a standing man. You should've hit it every time. You need practice.

Took my '17 home after shooting the 530 yrd plate,and missing.Noticed a bit of movement at the front of the scope.Cheap rings are just that,cheap.Picked up a set of weaver rings and put them on.Gun shoots much better now,8 of 10 hits on the 530 steel,I do need more practice yet.But I am happy with the results I got.
