I believe that may be Alvin York's 1917.

I was very impressed with that gun yesterday! A real pleasure to shoot and with old 1950's surplus ammo that I figured would be less than ideal. The sights are my favorite of all my milsurps, must be the extra long sight radius.

This was the target from the very first 5 rounds I fired. The one at 6 o'clock was where I held on the very first shot because I had read so much negative stuff about how the guns shoot and how the non adjustable sights were junk. I think what I read was a bunch of bull or I have an exceptional rifle.

Super shooting! But let an optician check if you have some astigmatism in the aiming eye.

Had 20/18 vision when I retired from the Army in 2002 with 22 years in, guess all that shooting kinda paid off. That and growing up in rural West Virginia, LOL!!
