DIY Practical Rifle

[CharlesHarris]

Thanks for the clarification.

I have a Winchester 94 saddle ring carbine from the 1920s which is handy to carry, but VERY limited beyond about 150 yards. The peep sighted '06 has a solid 250-yard zero on it and a range card garnished to the stock with come-ups and wind diagrams out to 600 yards. While I wouldn't shoot at game that far I use it in modified Infantry Trophy matches and score a bit better with it than I do with my Garand. Since cataract surgery I see iron sights like a 20-year-old again, so seldom use a scope other than for ammu option testing
