Wow.

Very well done.

I really enjoy time at the range with WWII era rifles. My father in law has a Mauser and I have a Mosin and both are still great shooters. Neither is in the condition of yours!!!!
 
Even with all my firearms edumacation... I am not sure if its perfect or lacking or close.... Others here can attest to the accuracy.

But none of that matters. Because perfect or not that is an amazing collection... well done! Outstanding and thanks for posting!

Great collection and I am seriously jealous of the kit you have put together! And that is saying something. Well done!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Gotta ask: whats your favorite and/or best shooting of the bunch? Those No Mk1T's are so cool!
so far the 03a4 is the best. It was built by Chuck Moline and has a Criteron Barrel, the action is like glass and a great trigger. was purpose built for cmp sniper competition. it shoots sub moa all day long
 
I gotta say, pretty amazing collection! Here in vintage, we've had the opportunity to see so many variants of snipers over the years, that it might just spin a normal guys head. So many that people hadn't really even heard of. Some of our favourite rifles that we hadn't even known were experimented with were made into a sniper variant. And the ones we see often are still very interesting to see again.

Thanks for posting.
 
I have a CMP built M1941 that runs sub-MOA with the right ammo. I've been running an original PU sniper for vintage sniper matches. With Russian surplus match ammo it hammers at 600.
 
im so pissed,
in the early 90's my father bought me a mauser from mil-tech
1933 ob
beautiful rifle
at the time they suggested that i pick up a zf-41 scope and mount
but they were $1500-2000
way to steep for me and my father wasnt going down that road

if i only knew what i would spend on scopes and mounts not

great collection
 
Not sure what you charge for admission ..... that is a museum exhibition .....Congratulation on assembling such a fine arsenal!!!!!

Beauts. And Chuck does the best work.

Here are progressive photos of my Springfield M1903 with more to come as maxed out at 10. It was an original length sporterised rifle with pretty good bore and a Timney adjustable trigger fitted. I bought the stock from Numrich via eBay which was NOS but needed a repair at the heel. The scope mount was adapted from an aftermarket A4 and the scope is a J2.5 Weaver 7/8". The handguards are NOS from Holland via eBay. The butt plate is milsurp checkered. Barrel bands are milsurp. All screws are from a NOS replacement set from eBay. Shoots 2" groups at 100yds with American Eagle ammo but I have 500 once fired Federal brass to hopefully improve that figure.
