Re: Show Ur 'Ole School ' precision sticks
old photos , tuning up the swift ( more likely tuning me !) Fed rem 53 gr SMK's. at a 100. I feel the factory ammo has gotten better, this gun shot Norma fodder a bit better than Win yellow box super X, old 90's hornady 55 gr custom better than Norma and Fed fodder even better.

Re: Show Ur 'Ole School ' precision sticks
Here is a '56, mod 52C That I have the most fun with, cheap to shoot, great teacher vis trigger and the wind will humble ur ass at a 100. Using old fed UM1 that I'm out of, I have out shot my center-fire rigs at 100

My 40X loves it too. I got 1050rds of it (UM1B) from a buddy a while back. There were also a few hundred rounds of the Federal Gold Medal Match (900B). I held on to it for a while and then started using it for a safari silhouette match in the 40X. The problem is the stuff rocks and I've yet to see anymore.
As a side note, I thought they quit making it due to the manufacturing costs involved with the cases.

All I ever remember being on it is a old Leupold fixed 4x scope with the german #4 style reticle, very similar to the El Paso made Weaver K4's. The rifle still shoots great I've shot several .2" 5 shot groups with it.

Here's some of my grandpa's old guns I inherited.
Not sure if it's a pre or post model 70, but its old.(looked it up its a 1967. 1 of 17,834 made that year.)
It has hinged bases.
.25 Stevens rimfire.
[have a few boxes of ammo that I've heard are worth a lot!]
Pump .22
The remington 511p is at the gunsmith now.
Also have a Colt Police special [.38 special]
And a H&R Top Break .38
I have pictures but this post has enough already.

I've got an old 1903A3 that my uncle gave me. Don't know where he picked it up but it was in the process of being sporterized by someone (before he got it that is). I plan on doing some work with it just haven't had the time. Still a good shooting gun at 100yds

Re: Show Ur 'Ole School ' precision sticks
Here is my old swede. 1902, Pramm sights. Metal rams at 500 yards have lots to worry about. This rifle has a lot oh history to it. Norma Precision factory rebuild, with a Norma Precision barrle sometime in the 50's. Rifle was factory drilled and tapped for these Pramm sites (wich cost me more than the rifle did) for Swedish FSR shooting.

It is a 6.5x55 Swede. Love this gun, she shoots very tight with the Pramm sights. I would like to see someone shoot it who is great with peep sights, and see what its capable of. I have not spent a lot of time behind them to get real good, but it shoots good enough!

I've been running aperture sights in NRA fullbore and smallbore shooting for years and I would LOVE to wring that bad larry out on a proper target made for irons.

Re: Show Ur 'Ole School ' precision sticks
I appreciate all of these fine rifles you guys have posted. I have always loved vintage rifles and for that matter vintage target rifles. Really like the old Model 70's. Kudos to those of you that posted targets...I would however like to see more range reports from some of these bad boys. I have a rebuilt M-40, but I have posted it more than once on here so I'll spare you guys...I will post a link.

Some nice guns int his thread, but that Swede takes the cake! My goodness is that a nice looking gun. I've wanted a 6.5 for a long time and have a pre letter prefix 700 LA just waiting for funds to make it happen. Thanks for the shot in the arm.

And my custom built .257 Roberts on a 1909 Argentino. The wood is actually a little darker, but the flash lightened it up for the pic. Topped with a modern Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20X50:

Here is another 1903 I rescued from sporterized hell....
What it was like when I found it.....
Rifle is a 1926 that was sold by DCM in 1936, It has a star gage barrel and was likely a Special Target 1903. I was fortunate in that all of the steel parts were original and unmodified, save for the D/T holes in the receiver for the Lyman rear sight. Bore is nearly perfect!
