[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1868970, member: 5655"] Most of the time when I get to the range I end up spending quite a bit of time with .22s since they are fun and cheap to shoot. But today I took some Swedes out to see what I could do with them. Here's a 1904 Gustafs M94 and a 1899 Oberndorf M96. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_Swedes_photo6_1.jpg[/IMG] This is the 600 yd silhouette range at Red Castle. Truth be known, I had not yet fired my M96 before today and the M94 had only been test fired for function after I restored it so today was an accuracy test of sorts. Nothing on paper but rather, "Can I knock down that metal pig way out there?" [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_Swedes_RCGC.jpg[/IMG] Knowing that Swedes were zero'd at 300 meters, the 300 yd row seemed to make the most sense as a starting point. I cleared a few silhouettes off of that line and then tried for the 500 yard row. I danced all around it but didn't knock any down. If I had a shooting rest or bipod I'm sure I could have taken them down. I had fun with these century+ old guns, open sights, and these failing eyes. Good afternoon! [/QUOTE]
