So how'd I do today?

...peep sight. Ultra cheap Remington ammo. Frankly, I surprised myself. This is my 3rd time shooting this rifle, a 1919 Rock Island M1903 that I've posted about earlier. My first two outings were beyond pathetic. When I saw two shots touch... then I saw two 0.17 MOA apart... Talk about a smile.

(Yes I know, use the sling, not a bench).

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.

Looks good. Little surprised when it went off?? I hate when that happens, it's hard to look like you meant it when the head flys back!!....

Pretty good shooting, now about the bench.............

**ChrisATX** · 04-01-2014 07:29 PM

Yeah, follow through I really need work on. I have a habit of looking up right after. And hey, better than flinching!!

Next time, "I will use my sling, I will use my sling, I will use my sling, I will use my sling, I will use my sling, I will use my sling..."

Good shooting Tex, I'd be proud of that.

A 5 shot group from today...

**NRA** · 04-06-2014 07:49 PM

yup at 100 yards I would be pleased

Holy CRAP!

Well, today was a good day at the range to put it mildly. First of all, the weather was perfect.

There were three other gentlemen on the line. One was decked head to toe in 5.11 shooting a brand new M14 icon

... scoped. The second was switching back and forth between ARs and some kind of generic Remington 700. Then there was a retired gentleman, former Army, former Wildcatter, another scoped M14, all synthetic. When I went to retrieve my target, they came downrange to check theirs as well.

The wildcatter (who wanted to take a few shots at my sighting target; I gladly let him!) walks over to my target and exclaims, "100 yards with irons? I like the sh$t outta that!" He asked me what I did for a living, I told him I was a research scientist over at the university. He said "get the hell outta here, really?? Where'd you learn how to shoot?" I told him

Naturally, after that, the other two gentlemen got curious and came over... they didn't say anything. Heheh.
