Re: A Marines' vies on the CMP Vintage Sniper Match
Edit: I see that Kraig beat me to it!
That caught my attention, as well. The 600 yard target for this match is the MR-1. The X-ring is 6 inches and the 10 ring is 12 inches. So, 1 and 2 MOA at 600 yards. Not sure where the "two inches" part came from. From a bench with my 91/30 snipers, keeping them in the 10 ring is not too difficult. However, when you're prone off bags with the sweat dripping in your eyes and the pressures of time and competition to deal with, everything changes, real quick! To shoot a clean at that range, under those conditions, is difficult with any vintage sniper rifle. My hat is off to the winning team.
