    Milsurp World Wide target Comp

    A world wide Milsurp Target competition/shoot, open to all Milsurps members, its not so much a comp but to see how each Milsurp rifle shoot.

    As most members on this site are interested or have a Milsurp rifle to hand, being the serious collector or the novice or the first time owner of a Milsurp, (we have all been there at one point) I thought it would be good to have a quarterly shoot/comp throughout the year.

    Full details now on the Range Report forum.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Nice idea. I'd suggest the course of fire is 5 consecutive shots, all of which count. I'd suggest the target is a circle, top half of which is black, bottom half of which is grey.

    Thanks Rob, Five shots would be the norm, the target is up to the member what he does with it, as long as its kept to the original, dimensions.

    I love it!!!
    As some milsurps shoot better than others, just a thought here not a suggestion, I'd be very interested to see what 5 rounds on the same target at 100 yards mausers create, and what enfields, no1 and no 4, and what 91/30's do, That would be a very interesting group of targets to compare.
    Perhaps we create this as one more category, or simply choose a group from the targets submitted, that we pick a best target of each type of rifle and lay them beside each other? We could then see what size of group each type of rifle can do?

    RJW,

    The scores will have what rifle, ammo etc next to them, then these will be posted in the category of choice, so I may be shooting a SMLE all standard, you may have a Mauser all standard (its obvious which is best .....) so we will be both in cat 1, but if its posible I will try to break down the scores into groups of paticular rifles, nd was hoping to post the top cards. One thing I did miss on the draft was a BP category, which I will add

    So far we have, AUS, NZ and UKicon, have only posted on this forum and the discussion forum, just to test the water but will add a link on the other forums later.

    Sounds fun! Is there any way we could have a link to a target to print, or download a .pdf file of an 'agreed' target?

    Thats the idea, but as regards to agreed target, I,ve left it up to the individual, if you want colour it, make it in to a "Tin Hat" then its up to you, as long as the ring dimensions are the same.

    I assume an Enforcer is not a 'milsurp' ?
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
