    Winchester M1D

    I'm not calling BS, we ditched the cone flash hiders. The prong weren't too bad but if I had a M1C/D I'd get rid of the flash hiders altogether. You'll really see shots going to hades with those cone jobs.

    Winchester M1D

    Forgetful Coyote: Depends on the Match Garand and the '03. I gonna bet (on the average) on the M1903A3 assuming a good barrel. The sights advantage goes to the M1, but if you have good tight sights on the 'A3 thats out the window. My M1903A3 with proper ammo can compete with my Heavy Match...

    Winchester M1D

    The M1C/D's M-84 scope sight settings were designed to use the M-2 Ball Ammo (150 gr). According to Gen. Hatcher's "Book of the Garand" they didnt compare the M-72 (173 gr Match), but he did compare the M2-AP (168.5 gr) which was used for accuracy at distance. According to hatcher angle of...

    Hunting & Fishing What all have you killed with a 223?

    I killed a water buffalo in SE Asia with a M16A1 using M193 Ball

    Winchester M1D

    I dont know why you would limit your shots to 100 yards. I taught sniper schools using the M1C/D's. With the right ammo (geared to the scope) they are good for 900 yards. The marks on the scope are set at 50 yard increments. Sight the rifle in at 100 yards, set the scope to 100 yards and...

    Hunting & Fishing Laser range finder for hunting conditions

    The Only LRF I'll buy (if something happens to the one I have now) is the G7 BR2 Ballistic Rangefinder. It works as advertised. I have the old one, (NO MIL Version). I was thinking of getting a Terrapin until I went on a bear hunt. We were setting around the fire talking about range...

    2018 CMP Eastern Games - Vintage Sniper Match (VSM) - pics from match.

    Thats pretty much the case. But there is a reason. People shoot what wins, and that is the M1903s. Perhaps as the sport grows (which is happening) there will be enough competitors that the can split into catagories much like the GSM Games. They are split between Garand, Springfields and...

    Hunting & Fishing Prairie dog thread.

    I've been using a Ruger #1 in 204 Ruger as my "go to" PD gun. It does the trick, but after playing with my RAP in 6.5 CM, I wondered what a RAP in 204 would do. So I got one, and it has the typical RAP super accuracy. We all know there isnt much kick or muzzle jump to the 204, but I figured...

    Hunting & Fishing Halibut

    I too escaped Wyoming for Alaska, but that was in 1972. Most of my 22 years living there I realized everything I went to Alaska for was better in Wyoming. Sure the duck/geese hunting and halibet/salmon fishing is better, but I'm more of a hunter. In Alaska there are to many people hunting...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting

    The last couple years I've been using the 6.5 CM for Mulies and Antelope. The Hornady 143 EDL-X are deadly, (637 yards have been my farthest kills with this bullet. Great for long range hunting but to be honest, I thank they are a bit over kill. I havent decided yet whether to use them on...

    One cool Enfield .

    I like the bi-pod idea. Now I have another project to attempt.

    Hunting & Fishing Halibut

    I spent 22 years in Alaska, finding out that the hunting is much better in Wyoming. Fishing is just as good except for salmon and halibut. I got burned out on salmon, halibut is a different story. Some of the best fish there is in my opinion. Homer is fun, I dont know how it is now, (I...

    Are 1903 S/N's traceable to specific units?

    how can one destroy the value of Grandpa's rifle, Its priceless to start with. He was a competitor so I would be willing to bet he would love to see his son compete with the rifle, if that warrants a barrel change, so be it. It would not lesson, in my opinion, the value to a family member...

    Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn Hunt Suggestions

    Sirhrnechanic: I'm no guide and I dont play one on TV. However if you put in for and get drawn for Wyoming Area 7, come early. The last two days of Sept. our club has the range open for free sight in days for hunters. I work the range, and I will line you up as to where to go. There is tons...

    Not a sniper......or.... Maybe it was

    I guess it mayby it was, or at least tried. But thats not the subject of this post. My father was in the SP (Burma) during WWII. The jungle was so thick you were lucky if you could see farther the 25 yards. He carried and prased the little M1 Carbine, saying it was the perfect jungle...

    Winchester M70

    Not a Sniper Version, but this 1949 made Model 70, '06 w/El Paso 4X Weaver can still shoot the Greek surplus M-2 ball.

    Greatest Bolt Action Battle Rifle in History...

    My vote would be the M1903A3. In the CMP's GSM Vintage rifle matches its proved itself to be the most accurate.

    That is a damn nice rifle.

    What type of rifles do you like in here?

    I think your topic fits here as well or better then any other forum on this site, but I'm not the owner or mod. Anyway, I would be interested to see how the MG barrel shoots. Years ago when I started in high power Model 70s or Garands/M1903s were the go to rifles, the Service Teams are the...

    Hunting & Fishing Grizz huntin,

    Thunderer, The truth is I dont know. I'm going to assume you do if the tag is in a widerness area since non residents have to have a guide for hunting there anyway. I wasnt really interested in putting in for one of those tags so I haven't read much about it.
