    Fieldcraft Snipers.... Let me know HERE, whom else you want posted about.

    One you dont hear much about, but in my opinion was America's top sniper of all times. A well todo Farmer who wished to remain natural during the Civil War until Yankees killed his two young sons and hung their head on a post leading to his farm. Jack Hinson declared war on the yankies...

    FMFM 1-3B

    I love old military firearms manuals. Sometimes you can find some real treasures inside the books. A few years ago I bought, (from Amazon I believe) a SMALL ARMS FIRING MANUEL - 1913, in excellent shape. I believe it was a pocket manual issued to the troops. Its about 4 X 6 inches, 249...

    1930's trainer rifle

    I was looking for a Lyman target scope when I found this Remington 24X fixed scope. Used it when I was heavy into Small Bore and ISU shooting. Works great, its the only one I've been able to fine. I love those old 22 trainers. Found an excellent book on US Military trainers.

    1903A3 Barrel Question

    I dont have the Criterion barrel on my '03s but I do on my M1s. My first M1's barrel was shot out. I used it when I was running sniper school for the AK NG using M1C/Ds. Anyway shooting the CMP Garand Matches I noticed my accuracy was going south. At the Oklahoma Games I had the CMP Armors...

    Old ART/MPC scope

    I bought one of those from a member here (forgot his name). Mine came with the manual and with care and adjusting your reloads to match the scales, its quite accurate as to matching the stadium lines to the cam.

    A long range Garand

    45 years ago this month, I went to work for the Anchorage Police Dept. When I took the Oral Board to be hired, the Chief read though my application, laughed and said "you can't spell for shit", then hired me. Got by for 20 years, and after being retired for 25 years, I still cant spell, BUT...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Reticle Options

    I like the Vortex with 2 moa hash marks left and right up an down. It works perfect with the Wind calls on my G7 BR2 range finder. I use the range finder to give me my elevation adjustments, then the Hash Marks to hold for windage rather then adjust.

    Help finding a Springfield 1903 Sniper

    Depends on what you want, I built mine but I use it for the CMP Vintage Sniper Matches. Except for the scope its all GI, This scope is the Weaver 2.5X w/post. It works but not as clear as I like. I since put a Repo M-82 w/Cross Hairs. Its clear, and the fine cross hairs helps my scores...

    Hunting & Fishing Thoughts on the 270 winchester...

    The 270 is my go to elk rifle, (FN made Model 70 Featherweight). It has a 24 inch barrel, dont think I'd want a longer one. I like the Eldx in my 6.5, havent tried them in my 270. I love the Hornady 150 gr. IBs, except Hornady doesnt make them any more. They are pricy but they have the...
