Default This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I've been wanting one for almost 30 years. Finally! Built in 1945. It's in presentation condition. Bought from a Marine Vietnam vet. He was very picky and was looking to sell it to someone who would appreciate it.

That is a great looking rifle youve got there!!! Will you spend some time shooting her, or will she go to the safe? If you do let her out, please give a report on how she does... we dont get range reports on long guns enough around here!

Both. When I'm not shooting her that's where she'll reside.

I took it to the range today. Took advantage during SWAT training. For now, I only zeroed it in at 50 yards. Eventually I will take it to a longer range where I can shoot 100, 200 and 300 yard distances. It shoots like a charm.




Not the best grouping. The left middle is where it was at before I brought in to the center. The missed heads shot were made by an Army guy. That's all I'm going to say about that.
