Hope Im not hijacking the tread but I have a Lever question, or Marlin really. I bought a Marlin 94, 38/357 Cowboy in '95 or '96. I heard at one point marlin went to hell, maybe when Remington bought them I dont know. How does the early-mid 90s fit in the good-bad Marlin '94s?

Went to the AMUs sniper school using the M21 in 1977

In a Heart Beat

Funny you should ask about reloading supplies. When I first started shooting high power in the mid 70s, a couple old mentors advised me, that no matter what happens, if you have primers you'd be able to shoot, I took that to heart, adding powder and have a pretty good supply of both. Here...

Im here, just been busy as wife decided we are gonna be snow birds. Got a winter house on a lake in Arkansas.

Most of my '06 loadings are Garand Loads I use in CMP Vintage Rifle Matches for my Garand, M1903s, and Model 1917. But my Pre 64 Really like Win 760. This is ten rounds using 55 grs 760 and Hornady IB/SSTs, (they shoot the same), Winchester Brass and Win LRPs.

I cant speak for the 6 MM Cm, but I have taken a lot of game, deer, antelope even elk with the 6.5 CM. I use the Hornady 143 ELD X, but I'm thinking of going to Sierras 130 Game Changer for deer and antelope. It shoots good in all my 6.5s (4 of them). My granddaughter killed two antelope last...

I got my M1A in 1977 (or 78), Ser. Num 00860X, new for $295, Bought it at a LGS ran by Wayne Young (Retired AMU Armor Who went with the AMU to Vietnam to conduct sniper schools. I was shooting for the AK NG Rifle team at the time. I made friends with Jene Barrnett (Barnett Barrels) who was...

I have a lot of hours behind those scopes coaching for the AK NG Rifle Team, damn good scopes

Anyone know what scope base for the Savage 338 L (Model 112 Mag Tgt and where I can find it, prefer one piece 20 MOA base. Thanks

Back in '74-76 I was more into revolver shooting figuring I should since I just started my career into LE. At the same time one of my cop buddies got me into skeet and trap shooting. This went on until 1977 when I injured my right hand, having a bunch of pins in it. Tried to shoot a trap gun...

you skipped a part. going with a 6 ft target. it would be 2 X 1000 or 2000 yards' Then look at the target and using the scale, see how many mils you get. Lets say the scale measures 4 mils. You now divide the 2000 from above by 4 which is 400. meaning your target is 400 yards away.

like a mil dot scope. Hold the rule, 20 inches from your eye (holding the string in your mouth makes it easy). use the mil marks on the rule getting either the height or length, and use the Range = target in yards, times 1000/mis

This is from a NG Marksmanship, Qualification guide from 1917, In a way those WWI era soldiers had it all over marksmanship training then we do today.

After the Vietnam War, before the Army and everyone else started their respective sniping schools the Army Marksmanship Unit conducted their School (USAMU Sniper/Counter Sniper Course) with the ideal of providing instructors for Military and Civilian LE Snipers. The Secret Service, FBI, and...

i tried some Sierra Gamechanger 130s in my 6.5 CM , They proved quite accurate. My granddaughter shot this fawn antelope and I wasnt impressed. This is the exit wound. I'm not posting the picture but you can see it by checking the link, Its gruesome to say the least...

Anyone try 147 EDLs out of a 6.5 CM on cow elk. Theyre suppose to be target loads, but would they work on cow elk or should I stick with the 143 ELD-X's. I have had excellent results with the ELD-X on Antelope but havent tried them on elk. I just have an elk tag and was thinking about trying...
