Once i took my grand dads 03 match to the range at butner, using his dope on a 3X5 card still in his handwriting i loaded a round and first shot in over fifty years was a 10 just out of the X ring at 1000 yards and i used a lyman sight to do it, that was so neat using his rifle that he shot at perry in 1938
Happy Fathers Day pelago, Hope you have a Great Day Buddy!!!!
Happy Fathers Day to all dads!
pelago, WOW! No doubt all that recoil shaking up your veins. I am sure glad you made it through that.
I am stoked about your Grand Fathers rifle shoot. Man using his data first shot! That makes my hair stand up. If anyone doubts he was standing right there with you, they are of very little faith. The shear difficulty of a 1000 yard shot, the data must be perfect to even get a hit. A X first shot, that is unreal. I am going to say you did that with a 70+ year old gun? At least the action. I am guessing it was a Springfield 1903?
To get back on track... what was it like shooting a mounted gun on a rolling Jeep? I know you know!
We need to get pelagoAttachment 4564 this sign for his place:eek:

Got him>>> after being with him i felt he was not a Mclintock but he sure as hell is a Jake, so that is what i call him Jake, photo of him after serious play time and he is zonked out
Dawgs and cats seem to name themselves after we get to know them.
Jake is a great name, along with a great movie.
Wow... classic beautiful rifles. I love the scopes.
I can't see Jake! Something about "call Admin bad attachment"
