If you come to the match Saturday I will give you a repair center, go get copies made.
Paul, you shot great! More than happy to bring up the rear so you wouldn't embarrass yourself...
Well, I don't know about 'great', but I am pleased with how I did !
I enjoyed myself, and I really think I can do better next time.
At least I didn't come in last....

I remember names for about 5 seconds, which one of you came down to bench 4
and introduced yourself?
and introduced yourself?
That would be me.
Ok it was good to meet you, sorry I didn't visit more I was trying to help the shooter next to
me fix a problem.
me fix a problem.
Mine's more or less a non-milsurp-non-mosin at this point. ATI stock, pillar bedded, 2x7 Vortex and a Timney to replace the bobby pin spring I made for the previous trigger. It has a bore that looks like a sewer pipe and with all the modifications it STILL shoots minute of barn door with ANY factory ammo. I've had good luck at 100 yards with 174 gr Hornady's and 40.7 gr Varget, however. It's a fun challenge to try to make it accurate.

The bore on mine is dark, and lightly pitted. The rifling is strong, however.
The biggest problem for me is the trigger. The thing is 47 miles long. I start pulling, get tired, go for coffee, pull some more, hook a chain to it, attach a winch, pull some more, BANG !
I would put a Timney trigger on it, but for 2 things.
1) it's against the rules for the match.
2) the trigger costs more than the rifle.
One of the things I discovered at my very first match last Saturday was this; If one can't keep all 50 rounds inside the 9-ring (a 4" circle) at 100 yds, one won't even score in the middle of the pack.
Another discovery; A stock Mosin, with factory Mosin sights, will never be able to go head to head with anything with stock peep sights. At least not with me shooting the Mosin.
If it hadn't been for Darren bringing the wrong box of ammo, and basically throwing rocks at the target for 50 rounds, I would have been dead last.
I have a lot of work to do. My 5" groups aren't going to do it, unless everyone else comes down with Mad Cow Disease and starts hallucinating one week.
I did enjoy the outing. I'll be back.
