Range pics thread

My 1943 Remington 03-A3 arrived in the mail on Friday and I was able to take it to the range today. Now I know why people love this gun so much. It is a joy to shoot.

I also had some fun with the Star Super B I picked up from Lou on Friday.

I forgot to get photos of the targets, but they are excellent shooters.

Nice 03-A3. I picked one up off of GB a few months ago I am hoping to get it and a few other new rifles to the range soon.

Took the PU Mosin Sniper and Smith Corona 1903a3 to range this morning.
I was testing some hunting rounds for them and both did not dissapoint.
My normal reloads are suitable for hunting but wanted to make sure the sights are still set.
I had set the sights on the PU Mosin a couple months ago at the 200 yard range and wanted to see where they were planting at 100 yards. Not that far off at all. First 2 shots were 1" apart and just 2" right. The scope on this Mosin has been a solid performer. Most impressive. The 1903a3 only needed a click of left and it was set to plant 2" groups at 100 yards.
Here is a pic my dad took of me and the Mosin. Hmmm. I think I need to eat more salads.

Nice! I need to figure out the ins/outs of using the 200 yd range. I've wanted to take my HRA M1 Garand and Carl Gustafs CG-63 to see what I could do. They are slayers at the 100 yd range.

RSO James refreshed me before I went over there one morning.
RED FLAG onto the pipes in the grass in front of you during a cease fire Very important. There are some stands you can borrow down in the pits in the storage room. . RSOs can refresh you on the rules.

Is it typically busy? Whenever I'm at AGC, I typically hear 1 or no shooters up at that range.

I rarely go on weekends. Mornings or lunch time. The times I've gone, I've been alone with my shooting buddy. Evenings on weekends are also often empty.
Look for the targets like this. They have wide pipes along the top of the grass berm. There are some 14" wide pipes but not at all the shooting stations. Top one was with my Mosin when I was adjusting the sights for 200 yards. Bottom is my Inline Muzzleloader.

Dang, that muzzleloader is looking good.

I had a slow day at work so I decided to play hooky and head to Marriottsville. I took my Spanish model 1943 short rifle and my Swedish CG – 63. I was a little worried about my Spanish Mauser because the last time I shot it, I used surplus ammo and I couldn't hit the side of a barn. I bought two boxes of PPU ammo and got a drastically different result.

CG-63 at100 yds.

Oh, and I learned that you won't make any friends shooting an M44.

Great shooting Abulg1972.

For the past couple of months I have been participating in a monthly C&R postal shoot. It is interesting seeing how each rifle (and marksman) does with different C&R rifles. I'm curious if anyone would be interested in giving it a try here? If so I wouldn't mind setting one up for October on MDShooters. Here is a link to an example shoot from August so you can see how it works. http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=138788

Thanks. The CG-63 always gets looks and questions.

Damn, son! I almost bought a Model 70 in .243 from a fellow forum member for my son but thought it would be too heavy/big for him.

Very cool! I like those old rifles. I have a 1937 Savage 99 EG model in .300 Savage. It is a good shooter out to a least 200 yes. the 2x scope is just right.

Had boys # 1 and #3 out today. #1 shot the SKS offhand @50 yards. I think the SKS is a great C&R for offhand shooting. Other than a 22, its cheap @ 25cents a round. He was loading from NCStar brand stripper clips and we found one of them that needs to be adjusted cause it jammed on him and me. The first clip that happened to me. Other than that, the SKS is one reliable SOB.
