Not sniper but vintage for sure

A couple years back we started running a shoot we call the military bolt action rifle shoot. It's open to any military bolt gun in "as issued condition". It's become pretty popular because, as you all know military bolt guns are just fun to shoot. It's a 30 shot paper match, offhand bench and prone. Offhand and bench are fired at 50 and 100 yards respectively, the 150 stage is fired off the berm at a B-27 target. Only sighters are before the first stage, after that you're on your own. The prone stage at 150 yds is without aid of spotting scopes so good luck.
This year it was 12 degrees at kick-off so a lot of the regulars stayed home......pansies.
We had a couple 03's, a swiss, Russian and finn mosins, and a K-98.
After we retired to the clubhouse and lit the crying lamp. Helluva way to spend a Saturday morning

12 degrees! Must have been mid summer.

Funny how up here on the Keewenaw everyone around us is colder. We got a ton of snow these last few days, and for here pretty cold. Got down to -14 F.

Really a nice way to spend a Saturday morning wish my K43 could see such action but she’s a safe queen.

We run this shoot twice a year, then in January we run our Battle of the Bulge shoot. Just another excuse to drag out the rifles and have some fun.

I use to put on an annual 12 April, Battle on Lexington and Concord shoot along with 11November Armistice day shoot. In November it had to be a Great War rifle or earlier. In April "bring the Rifle you'll use when Liberty calls again" We had everything from .223 to 7MM Mag. The guy with the 7mm Mag. only brought 20 rounds. Guess he expected a quick victory. We used man size tgts starting 300 yards, then advanced twice 100 yards at a time. I had a time limit. Shoot all you want in the time allowed. We had several AR's lock up with steel cased ammo. Great fun.
