What is the most accurate C&R gun you own?

[Lou45]

Iron sights;
Swedish CG68 (or is it CG63) 6.5x55 Mauser

Scoped snipers:
Remmy 1903/A4 Sniper and M91/30 Russian Sniper.

The Swede and Remmy can print less than 1/2" groups @ 100 yds and the Rusky Sniper prints 5/8" groups at !00 yds.

FN 06 Vest Pocket ... stunningly accurate esp with the short sight radius

 

[dtmeyers]

CZ-70 in single action... double action is a PITA

 

[mawkie]

In a rifle it's a toss up between a M96 and the Ross Military Match.
In a pistol it's the Colt Woodsman Target.

 

[somd_mustangs]

+1 for the Woodsman Match Target (Series II).
Worst, the Romy TTC - it's horrible.
rifle would be the Winchester 52 pre-A

 

[ken792]

Rifle would be my M1, pistol would be a 6.5" barrel Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Mag.

 

[Mooseman]

I don't have many C&Rs. My M1 Garand is my most accurate.

 

[M1842]

Swedish Mauser M96 with Carg Gustave receiver sight. Truely the easiest to shoot well. followed by my SMLE No 1 Mk3 with hand loads.

 

[BossmanPJ]

My Spanish mauser in 8mm is a tack driver at 100 yards open sights. Love it.

I need to do a good, benched accuracy comparison with most of my stuff but from what
I usually shoot, I get the best groups with my Swedish M96 Mauser. May be surprising to some, but my Type 38 Arisaka shoots almost, if not just as good as my Swede also.

These are my picks as well, I shoot my best with them.

 

[Abulg1972]

My CG63



followed closely by my HRA M1 Garand.

Milsurp would be a 6 groove Smith-Corona 03A3. Some of my C&R vintage American sporting rifles are far more accurate. 1949 Remington 513T 22LR and a 5 shot target at 100 yards.
A 1941 Winchester Model 75 that is just a step behind the Remington and for high power a 1953 Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 308 with a 3 shot 100 yard target.

 

[sbmike]

P08 Luger
It's a tack driver that out shoots my modern 9mms even with the primitive sights.

Ditto. Not bad for a gun that is 98 years old (at least mine is)!

Most accurate C&R

I think this gets decided at camp Perry every year.
Seems to me the 1903A3 always has the top score.

JMHO

That Remington is sweet, but that Winchester is an absolute jewel. Between the way that rifle looks and the way it shoots, I'd have to send the wife to the couch, give it her pillow and sleep with that thing!

 

[DrCatt]

Nothing special, but a hex 91/30 is my winner

 

[jkeiler]

M1 Garand and M39 Finn. In part because compared to other military rifles of the era the sights are relatively easy to adjust.

Aaahhh.................., yes. But is the CMP match limited to U.S. made guns??? Or is it open to all guns regardless of country of origin???

 

[Sirex]

Mine are all Mosins, so my cut Remington M91 and my M39

 

[ken792]

Vintage Military Rifle is for all manually operated military rifles, other than 03/03A3 Springfields, which have their own match.

In this year's top ten scores, I see the M1917, Venezuelan Mauser, MAS36/51, Swedish Mauser, and K31.
