Postal Match

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen!  We didn't have much of a turnout for the May match.  Results were as follows:

Rifle
1. Dale Beethe - 84
2. Michael Fellow - 82

Let's get out there and shoot!  It's a good way to make sure you're zeroed for the Muster!

Well, drat... I keep coming in last... I was pretty happy with my results... look forward to some more competition next month!

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen, Because of the Brigade Muster, I'm going to give everyone an extra week to shoot the Postal Match.  The cut-off date for June will actually be July 10th, and then we'll get back on the regular schedule.

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen,  Tomorrow is the last day to get your shooting done for June.  I've only got three so far. 

[Niederlander]

Glad I shot yesterday.  It's sort of warmish out there today!

But at least there wasn't any wind.

I shot a sub-MoA 10 shot group with my replica 1903/1941 USMC vintage sniper rifle. By the time I quit I was pretty close to being a heat casualty even though I was drinking between every shot.

Sounds like a fun time... outside of the heat!  Who doesn't love amazing accuracy!!  How does one find a vintage sniper rifle?

Results for the June match are as follows:

Rifle
1.  Michael Fellow - 82
2.  Dale Beethe - 79
3.  Coy Wolf - 70

Pistol
1.  Dale Beethe - 82

Let's have more shooters this month, gentlemen!

How does one find a vintage sniper rifle?

Originals are available....albeit at a cost! You'll sometimes see them on GunBroker

I had 2 of mine built from parts I found on E-bay and GunBroker. Neither are such close copies that you wouldn't be able to tell them from originals, but that wasn't what they were built for. 

The other one I found at an auction. It's just a copy too. The old guy who had it before me had done some work on it and I had to correct some of what he'd done before it would fire. I also had to change scopes for it to be legal in Vintage Sniper competition. It doesn't shoot as well as the ones I had built, but it still shoots about as well as what I read that the originals would.
