Randy, your scores are posted.

Thanks,

Greyknife/Ralph Here is my Factory rifle Score for April. I sure am not happy with scores this low. I was used to shooting better ammunition with my 40X when shooting Unlimited ARA and occasionally winning! I guess $5.00 ammo is not supposed to shoot as good as $15 to $20 ammo. Another guy at the range yesterday says he hopes he is still alive at my age! So I guess I should be happy.

Ralph, on most of your bulls, it looks like a snake bite, the two rounds are so close! I think that's pretty good for $5 ammo... Well done!

I have your score posted!

Here is a target with the new Penrod 2500x. On the first bull I forgot to move the scope down 2 clicks. I got the tuner real close. It is by far the smoothest action I have ever had. The

Hey folks, here’s my entry for what I believe is the Match Grade Match class. First time, so if I have the class wrong, or have scored it wrong, by all means please correct me (and explain). The rifle is a fascinating Walther Sportmodell Meisterbuchse Olympiaschaft. A pre-War bring-back made sometime between 1934-1940. Based on serial number, I’m guessing it was made about 1936, but its impossible to date these, as all records were apparently taken by either Soviet or U.S. troops, depending upon story one reads. The Olympiaschaft edition indicates a heavier target style stock, vs. the other two, lighter variations. Best I can tell, it is box stock, including crumbling recoil pad. Missing front sight hood, and entire rear sight assembly, which is unfortunately pretty common. This variation was apparently intended for use in 1936 Olympics but lost out to the Mauser version. It shoots very very well, certainly better than me. I’ve got better ammo coming for next month, and I hope to also include an entry with my Anschutz 64 MPR. Someday maybe a Kimber 82G! So glad I found this group/match! Any questionsm please ask!
