BSA Martini International Mk V

[Calfed]

Years ago I won a Mk V at an estate auction. It came with sights, but after shooting it a few times I put it away and never fired it much.

Recently I began shooting a weekly smallbore match at my range...alternating weekly between 50 and 100 yards. This caused me to pull my smallbore target rifles out of the safe and begin shooting them. So far, I've used my Winchester 52's.

I recently glommed a Lyman 20X Super Targetspot and decided to try the Lyman on my Mk V. I zeroed the scope at 50 yards and did some ammo testing.

This rifle loved everything--even the cheap CMP black box.

@ 50 yards...

That's good, what kind of small bore matches are you shooting?

One of the guys I shoot with has a couple of those rifles and they are hammers. HEAVY hammers...

20 round match. Every other week we shoot at 50 yards, 5 rounds into each of four targets. the 4 targets above are the targets we shoot at.

In the alternate weeks we shoot 10 rounds each into two larger target at 100 yards. Here are the two targets, 100 yard target on the left, 50 yard target on the right. The 100 yard target is about 7" across, with the 10 ring being about .62" across, and the X dot being .17". The 50 yard target is about 4.5" across, with the 10 ring being about .36", and the X dot being about .11".

That's nice. When I get moved to VA I hope to compete in something at the Kettle Foot range and/or Cherokee Rod & Gun club.

Do you have different classes or is it shoot what you bring?
