Day one of VS at Quantico. Not the best pictures as I was busy with BOD stuff, but some nice rifles populated the line. Tomorrow is 800, 900 and 1,000yds.

Vintage Sniper at QSC
- Thread starter Defender3
- Start date
I hope I didn't give the wrong impression. I head up the club and visit the open ranges to ensure things are running smoothly and the RSOs are doing okay. Yesterday was our first of the season VS match so I ran out to take a couple pics, and of the steel challenge match we were running. We're finishing a major office remodel, so I wasn't shooting.
I only took one picture today when they were on the 900yd line. It was sunny with little to no wind, a great day for the match. I did bring out two rifles, but just didn't have the time to shoot.

A few more pic from this weekend's QSC match.
We had a slight drizzle at the 600 yard berm on Saturday, but that happens.
M40A1 replicas with Weaver T10 (10x) scopes was perhaps the most common rifle seen
at this match. The turrets and fine crosshair work well for this event. Here's one plus a nice M70.
Shooting partner with his replica M40A1 w/ T10 (another one seen in the background)
800 yard berm, Sunday.
Replica M40A1 w/ 10x Unertl, a combination also seen a lot at this match.
Most unusual rifle I saw was a Navy competitive shooter who had a SecNav "Trophy rifle." This is the first time I have seen an M86 up close. It's based on the old 'G. McMillan and Company' action...a long defunct company. They were SEAL sniper rifles back in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Anyhow, I think a good time was had by all. The next match is probably late September, 2023.

I appreciate you filling in the gaps for me! I believe we even had a shooter come all the way from Vermont.
