Been a while since I have had the time to do any shooting, 1st with the covid, then with the local range fighting to stay open against pressure from the county ( been in operation since 1962) and now with finding ammo.
I went through my stash and found some Egyptian Surplus to shoot so I am off to the range tomorrow to try out my Bosnian M48 sniper. The rifle is one of the early 2000 imports that came with the bases but no mounts or scopes. Most of them had sewer pipe bores and looked like they where drug behind a T34 so it took a while to find this one but the bore is nice and is numbers matching. Now mounts at that time where scarce as hens teeth but that all changed about 2017 and today they are plentiful so it finally came out of the safe.
The trigger is horrible and cheek weld isn't the best with the scope sitting so high but these rifles where never designed to be snipers in the 1st place. So tomorrow, if the rain holds off it is going to the range to see how it shoots.
