A couple of oldies

Post by Aughnanure » Fri Aug 12, 2005 5:04 am

Are my mate Geoff and I and here's the result of our last friendly clash at the range last Sunday.

Geoff was using his 1935 Savage Model 5 .22 and I had my .22 1866 Henry by Uberti. Range 50 metres

Geoff's rifle

In the Handicap Geoff nominated 9 and busted by shooting 100 and I nominated 20 and busted by shooting 95

We were a bit more ragged in the Rapid Fire. Lucky for me it's shot in two 5 round stages as most people have 5 shot mags, and the Henry jams if more than 5 are loaded. Havent got round to fixing it yet.
