No 100m settings on these! So, offset aiming points will be great!

No problem jmoore, its suposed be as informal as can be, can you enlighten me/us, on the rifles you have there?

Thats not a problem if it is allowed to be a bit teachy. First you shoot your rifle with the lowest distance ( 300m or 400m) at 100m aiming at your standard POA and measure out the difference in height between the POA and POI than hang out a second card at the measured height and aim at the lower one it works. It did with my Swiss G11 which started at 300m.

Looks like a Gewehr 88 and the last one a Arisaka 99 with its AA-sights.

COUNT ME IN. This sounds like fun and something that I will start working on when I go to the range Tuesday morning.
Take care all.

First one for me, As Standard 7.5 x 55 Swiss K11, (see range report) seperate point of aim used.

Not that bad ,Geoff! See you with the "T"-challenge!

[bigduke6]

Ulrich,

The T wasnt preforming like it should, trigger pull not crisp enough and was short on ammo (reloads), the Swiss K11, was ok, but where do you start with these regarding accuracy ? how much play should be in the barrel bush? etc, I forgot to mention there are some pics of the tag that is in the butplate on the Swiss forum.

Geoff, i had a free floating bore at my rifle and you have to check the aluminium ring, there is sometimes a lot of greenish dirt in it. Clean it and check if it is really round and has no dings or so. Important is that the action is tight to the wood and i made a bedding under the chamber for that reason. Check out that the barrel is really free when it is getting hotter. In my case the forestock was touching the barrel, but only after firing 15 or 20 rounds. After that the shots where wandering to one side at the target. After clearing all of this little problems it shoots around 1"-2" with the GP11 ammo. And i purchased a higher frontblade for 24 Euros at Schwaben arms.

Geoff:

The bush at the front is nickel-silver. Which is why it goes greenish with verdigris. When I got my G96/11 it was clogged with the green gunge, so I had to clear it out. Which was awkard - as you cannot get it off the barrel, because of the front sight block! The bush should be a snug fit in the woodwork, but not touch the barrel. I suspect that your K31 is indeed binding somewhere. binding. A properly set up K31 firing GP11 ammo should be in the class 2MOA + PWF (i.e. whatever the shooter adds in inaccuracy - the Personal Wobble Factor).
