Rifles in that last shot, from the bottom---M17 by Eddystone with a Johnson Automatics barrel.

The 346th K31 to come off the production line in 1933.

A 1942 VKT(Valmet) M91 Mosin.

The RFI-ish 1945 BSA No5 Mk1, which I love dearly.

A good time was had by ALL.

Oh yeah

Good friends , Good fun

and the scent of burnt gunpowder...

those are some very good friends to enjoy the day with.

Where in Nebraska is that beautiful 600 yard range?

The range belongs to the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club and is located about three miles east of Louisville, Nebraska on Highway 6.

Aye, looks like a nice place to me for a good days shooting with your pals

Joe,

It is nice, but sometimes the wind can really be a pain.

Like today.

Gusting in excess of 50mph---enough to push the front sight off the targets on the 200 and 300 yard lines.

I put a P-H 5B on the 1917 Enfield from last week's session and actually managed to get it zeroed before the wind went nuts.

No good targets, though.
