Adam, you old Celtic polecat, did you perchance pull out the old trusty bayonet and attack those targets? .. the trick with all these comps is getting the rifle to shoot to point of aim with these targets. Aiming off doesn't lead to good scores. That is rather difficult with fixed sights zeroed for ...

For a final try with my 7mm rifles and to burn up the rest of a crappy bunch of handloads, here is the results for my 1908 Brazilian Mauser, built in Germany by DWM.

Just to tease the old maligning mauserphobe himself, I thought I would give a go with one of the Mausers from the Southern Hemisphere a go. First up was my 1895 Chilean, made by Lowe in Berlin.

Since I was out doing my Italian thing, I also gave the Italian M1891/41 Carcano 6.5x52mm a whirl. [pic]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/Maverick/KISS%20Match/M1891-41Carcano.jpg[/pic] Ammo: Handloads called for because the OTC stuff tends to have .264" bullets which barely touch the land...

Wife went shopping so I slipped out an spent some time with Sophia. Sophia is the name I bestowed upon my Italian Vetterli 1870/88/15. I named her after Sophia Loren. Like the original, she may be a bit long in the tooth, but she still has some sexy lines. [pic]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603...

Nice Finn 91, MM.

I picked up a Finn 91 a couple of years ago. It was made by New England Westinghouse. I think that it was issued to the troops, as it is not nearly as nice looking as yours. The muzzle was counterbored, but is a dead on shooter.

Well, either Joe is a hardass staying out in the elements or his deodorant isn't working too well.

I don't see any weapons in that two man sheltered pit. Just what are those two doing to put such smiles on their mugs.

After a nice Reuben sandwich for lunch, I felt like a little something Swiss. Rifle: Swiss Schmidt-Rubin 1889 Rifle, 7.5 x 54.5mm GP90/23 [pic]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/Maverick/KISS%20Match/Swiss_1889_Schmidt_Rubin.jpg[/pic] Ammo: 180 gr Hornady .30 RN over 37.0 gr IMR-3031 Resized Fro...
