Cool Rifle Shoot

[jaybet]

I don't have the weapons for it, but the club I belong to had a really cool shoot the other day. It was a rifle shoot for ONLY old military weapons. No black weapons, no 223 (current models)
You should have seen all the wood stocks! I don't even know what I was looking at most of the time but it was great. Great shooting too. They had to do so much in prone position, so much sitting, so much standing...all a lot of fun it looked like.

Makes me want to sell everything and run out and buy that Garand I've always wanted.

Pick up an Ishapore .308 ($170)

Sounds like you saw a Vintage Military Rifle match, it is basically a High Power match shot with military rifles manufactured before the '60's. I shoot in a match like that once a month with my No.4 Enfield in .303, I really like it. The best part is no-one has any big advantage over anybody else as long as your gun is fairly accurate.

Is that something I'll find at a local shop or is it gun show material?

If you think it's so much fun try getting into a PROPER sitting position    The Ishipore is an Indian made Enfield in .308  Some one once classified WWI rifles this way, The Springfield was the best match rifle, The Mauser was the best hunting rifle, the Enfield was the best BATTLE rifle and the Nagant wasn't on the list.

Pretty good Tom.

Another good rifle for the Vintage Military Match is a 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser, if you can find one.  Ballastics are great in the 6.5, low-recoil and accurate.  I inherited one from a close friend and love to shoot it.

A friend of mine has about 20 rifles but his 6.5 Swedish Mauser is his favorite .

Everyone needs to have a C&R license. They are inexpensive (my renewal was $30 for 3 years), and if you can pass a background check for a CHL or just to purchase a weapon, you can get a C&R from the fed. Any C&R marked firearm can be shipped directly to you.
