Rifle 30-06, 180 AB. M1907 sling, hasty sling wrapped. Full-on rifleman prone by now. You said I'm out of cover, which means I've wiggled on my belly over the last patch of prickly pear by now. I'm confident in the distance and the shot angle, but not that brush on the left side with a...

I think the OP is assuming placement, and looking for what is most important when placement is not optimal (broadside or quartering away) either due to animal position or shooter error. I don't have much personal experience in the larger game department. I have shot 2 moose when I worked for...

Perhaps Europe or another European member can chime in on this. I mentioned the 7,5x55 Swiss cartridge in passing. Very similar ballistics to the 30-06 when loaded to full potential, and highly accurate, at least in the Swiss Military Schmitt Rubin series of rifles. It's a bit of an antique...

Which Federal Match did you try? There is Gold Medal, Gold Medal HV and Champion Auto match. I've had best luck with the Gold Medal HV in a couple rifles vs. anything. Aquila standard velocity was really good too, as good as the GMHV usually, but with the occasional underpowered flyer, about...

I've owned 3 of them, still have 2 (JW-15). Sold one to a friend. They are still the one gun that I will buy on sight for any reasonable price if bore and function are good. I've put mine up against all makes of .22s at our gunclub's fall sporting matches, and it bests or equals them all...

I have a Norinco JW 15 which is essentially a cruder copy of the CZ452 (or the other way around?) purchased before the fall of the iron curtain for the princely sum of $89. Although it lacks the fit and finish of the CZ rifles, this design is very sound and definitely shoots. Wondering if the...

I have inexpensive firearms. A fleet of military collectables picked from recent inexpensive imports based on bore condition and fit/finish. The ones that didn't shoot well have long since been traded. I come from a long line of farmers and blue collar workers, cheap but effective guns have...

Before you put too much effort into that Amax load, you should know this bullet is discontinued by Hornady. It is being replaced by the ELD-M available in 75 and 80. I've had outstanding results at 600 yards with this bullet (the ELD) in an AR-15 national match 1:8 Wylde throat. I'm running...

That looks beautiful. I have some great water to do this in MN and WI, but work always seems to get in the way.

Rifles: NRA and CMP over the course to 600 yards. Have used both AR-15 and M1 Garand in these matches. Dabbled some in F-class, but couldn't afford (or want to) keep up with the arms race. CMP games matches including vintage bolt, vintage sniper and J.C. Garand matches Swiss Feldschützen...

Man that looks fun! Hope they don't start having them around me, I might have to rebarrel an M17. May never go on a safari, but it would be fun to have an excuse to own such a rifle!

I've found their Dual grip and Frontier Sporster styles to be especially comfortable shooting. Seem to effectively reduce felt recoil and aid in offhand shooting. You can adjust LOP when you order. Their wood is quality, but the wait time will be long.

Nothing at all wrong with factory ammo these days. Even the plain box stuff from Win, Rem and Fed is pretty good. Imported ammo from PRVI and S&B is of very high quality if you shoot one of the metric calibers. Some of the specialty loads out there from Nosler, Hornady, Norma, etc. as well as...

I've moved on into higher end military rifles in my collecting, namely Swiss and Swedish rifles, but I still own and shoot several Mosins. I have one Finn M39 that lives up to the reputation for accuracy. This one most certainly saw military use based on the wear and tear it shows. I did have...

I should add, that I still compete with a Mosin Nagant model PU 91/30 in vintage sniper competition to 600 yards. The rifle itself will run with the Springfield and Swedish mauser rifles I'm competing against. I have cleaned both the MR63 (300 yard) and 600 yard HP target with it. I have yet...

Yes Otter, they were mostly manufactured in Russia. Originally at the Sestroroyetsk, Tula and Izshevk arsenals. Chattleraunt in France also manufactured them for Imperial Russia. During WWI, They were manufactured in America by Remington and New England Westinghouse. (Winchester also...

They are/were cheap, really cheap, and so was the ammunition. In a country where one can go out and blast away at cinder blocks and garbage in a rural gravel pit, that was an attractive combination. They aren't pretty or refined, but they are a very durable and surprisingly accurate rifle...

I like to use my .41 mag Ruger with a 210gr Berrys FP and a microscopic charge of titegroup for snowshoe hare in the winter. I call it bowling for bunnys. Not sure how slow it is going, but I'm thinking somewhere around Daisy pneumatic airgun velocity based on the audible time of flight into...

If you don't find one (long shot), Richards Microfit will inlet for that action. Moderate level of stock finishing required, but well within the skillset of a novice if you have the time to learn. I think Boyds might cut that inlet also, in a more finished product.
