Milsurp postal match feeler

[singleshotbuff]

Gentlemen,

Just wondering what level of interest there would be in a postal match for milsurp rifles? Say ending at the end of May? I'd be glad to run it. If interested, please post here and/or PM me. Details can be worked out by level of interest, I was thinking;

50 yards
Offhand or bench (one or the other, we'll decide)
Shoot for group size
Any bullet/boolit or load
2 divisions, irons and glass.

What do you think?

Count me in

[NVcurmudgeon]

I'm in for offhand or bench as long as it's issue sights. Scopes or receiver sights move a rifle from milsurp to sporterized.

[wiljen]

Count me in - my 1903 and 1917 could use a good workout.

[45 2.1]

Straight as issued off the bench.

[Uncle Grinch]

Sounds like my kind of fun!!

I want to play.

[RayinNH]

As 45 2.1 said. My Krag needs exersize...Ray

[singleshotbuff]

It's sounding like original sights, benchrest.

What say you all?

Lead on, McDuff.

[robertbank]

I am in. Original sights either off a rest or offhand works for me. Sounds like fun.

Take Care

I'll play...

Why not just have both categories, bench and offhand?

OK Gentlemen,

Seems to be enough interest in this match. I put up a simple page on my (under construction) outdoor website. Please check it out, let me know what you think, and PLEASE E-MAIL ME from that page. this will let me know who all is in and will also let me test the e-mail link (I'm not a web designer by ANY stretch of the imagination LOL).

Also, should we have benchrest and offhand divisions as suggested? I'm open to whatever will get people shooting.

Finally, I will be posting a link to this match at other forums, please feel free to do the same.

Works for me. Got a Garand that I don't shoot enough and a K-31 that I'm just beginning to develop loads for.

How 'bout separate divisions for Cast Boolits and J-Bs?

What if you use a Madsen that had a receiver sight on it when it was made ??? Columbian Military in 30.06 Mark

It's 8:25 AM and I'm having my coffee. I went through the whole thread and then found Waksupi's response. It's really nice when I can start my Saturday with a good cup of coffee and a good belly laugh.

Thanks, Waksupi!

I'll be entering with my Yugo SKS. Leaded projectiles, for sure.

[danski26]

Never tried one of these postal matches before but it gives me an excuse to get out and shoot my fn-49.

[Bob S]

My vote:

No bench rest. Shoot for score.

100 yards min.

Three position: stand, sitting or kneeling, prone. Make it all slow fire and the guys with trapdoors and rolling blocks can play, too.

CMP rules for "as-issued".

For 100 yards, target TQ-4. Anyone can find it at most any Wally World.

Resp'y,
Bob S.
