Now exploring a Eddystone P14 with TZ sight (PH5B) at 100yds. Bright sunny day, 80degree with a persistent moderate wind blowing into my 7oclock. Zeroed with Kynoch '51 Mk7, second target S&B 180G.

Celebrated the 4th with a day at the range. Adjusted the rear sight and filed down the front on my Chiappa M1-22. I think I have it dialed in now to do the same to the M1a1-22.
Older photo of my 3 .22LR at the range. The scoped 10/22 is undergoing some modifications. The M1-22 is dialed in, and the M1a1-22 is next.


Here is my first entry for this gun 25yards, Class 6.5 (reproduction type Military.22 rifle)

OK, Bigduke6, prodded by you and Jmoore, here is my first entry for 2013 in Class 1. An original 1896 Boer Carbine (see Appendix in Ball, 5th Ed.) No.4114.

Looks like this:

- Well, almost. The ring add-on to the backsight fell off, and turned out to have been superglued. Not a good idea, since the stuff is quite brittle. And most definitely not from 1896!

Shoots like this:

A beautiful little rifle, and a pleasure to shoot.

I do not think that many people shoot a full-bore rifle with rimfire cartridges.

But it's worth it!

Where in the world do you get 41 RF ammo these days?

Hi everyone.

Here's a couple of groups I've shot recently on a day that I was driving tacks! (wish every range day was like this. They were all shot at 200 yards from a rest with a light 4-5 kph wind blowing left to right. Temp was 18-20 c. All rounds are handloads.

First up is my 1943 longbranch AG Parker target rifle. It has an S&K scope mount with a 4-12x40 scope. Rounds are 180 grain cast bullets with a gas check, with 13 grains of red dot.

He's the rifle

Rounds were .592 lee real bullets, plastic 24g hulls, 70 Gr FFg. 100 yards for this one. Not the best group, but after a lengthy resto I'm proud to own and shoot her!

How does that S&K hold zero on your No 4; I have been considering getting one to make up for my failing eyesight.

Greetings,

Is it too early to ask about the 2014 matches?

I've shot about 200 rounds down the pipe with the S&K mount and it's yet to have lost zero!

OK, thank you!

Is it possible to take part at the shooting? I have the time now and it would be nice to do it.
