Milsurp After Hours

The orignal idea continues. All who have shot and posted their scores over the summer are requested to please post them again.

For those who haven't entered, the target is the NRA 100 yard small bore rifle target...or one like it. Five shots only, from any milsurp rifle without a scope. Highest score wins. There was an extra two points if you used milsurp ammo, but since nobody that I remember mentioned it, we will drop this rule unless I missed someones use of it.

You can shoot from any stance. You can be seated at a bench or shoot prone. Whatever. It's up to you.

The modest prizes include... one small trophy for the top score along with a milsurpafterrhours pin and patch. Second and third place get a pin and a patch.

This contest ends November 1, 2006.

I think mine was a 36, but will have tlook for the target. Shot a better one with my Savage in club competition on the weekend but no camera - bugger.

If you remember the score, post it.

Here's my score again and I did use Milsurp ammo, 1942 Mk VII, not 'cause I remembered the opton but because that was all that I could find Gimme those points... I need 'em.
