    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    Build and help section has info and suppliers. Some interesting posts on trigger replacement and stock work. They also cover their mistakes and failures. Scope mounting with solid mono-block bases was interesting also. If you see anything interesting point it out. Looks like Lother Walther...

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    What? These are the norm and C&R the far between this time of year. Seems to me there has been a 1000Y match every other weekend for arms of the period you mentioned. Greg I can look into that question for you. They seem to be doing some fantastic and respectful work. No hackers or chop shop...

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    A little off subject but I have been following a post about Mosin rifles were they are getting some crazy accuracy at long range with turned down Guranov med MG barrels and heavy customs. These guys are almost a cult Mosin club. Off subject but interesting. Cheers

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    How can they write rules to allow replica 03A4s and not let Mauser 98K scope copies compete or even 91/30 PU rifles if a scope has been repaired in state facilities. Sounds like a few people keeping the unwashed public to play. Making it a private club shoot for a click to compete using public...

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    I shot a vintage match once called the McQueens. Simple rule, nothing newer than 1945 and two classes scoped and non scoped. Target was a replica of a WW1 German trench and sandbag berm. Ten or so loops 10"X10" at 200 yards with a #14 helmeted face shown every eight seconds for three seconds...

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    Just a small comment on motivation and Simo Haya. He had a serious hard on for the Russians because they occupied his home and turned it into a command post for some really nasty people and did assorted things to his family, friends and critters. He was not alone among Finns with this...

    Loads for Sniper T Enfields?

    quote: Look for Greek brass. It is the best, if you can find it. Next, try some cast bullets. Cast will fit your rifle better then any FMJ. MY 2¢ Can you drive cast at 2600 to 2700 fps? How does it perform at or past 600 yards? What weight and do they track with the range drum? Keeping in...
