    The "Moogun"

    We had our normal shoot today from 500 meters it was to say the least 100 degrees in the water bag and the mirage was right at it L-R-R-L & boiling.

    Anyway I misered out with a 115.5/120.20 with my 6.5 x 284 using 52gns VV-165 136gn Scenna "L"s with FED-210s for the last burst with a 59.03.
    The prior was 49gns RE-22, FED 215M 140gn Bergers jumped 30thou 56.3 anyway that was me.

    My wife shot with the now infamous "Moogun" (2 pack paint scheme like a fresian cow with a motif) anyway her second round was outstanding a 60.7/60.10
    To give you an idea the very center circle on the blown up target the "X" ring is 50mm in dia.
    The group center to center was 84.8mm for 10 rounds (not 5) just over 1/2 MOA at 500 meters not to shabby.
    Load= 44.6gns AR 8208 Berger .308 155.5 VLD BR-4 primer Lapua Palmer brass

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Crazy good shooting. I'm lucky to have groups like that at 200 yards.

    I don't even get those that often at 100 yds. Nice shooting.
