DIY Practical Rifle

[Camp_Bell]

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

Thanks that is really interesting information. What front sight do you have on the ‘06? I’m guessing a bead would cover way to much of the target at those distances. I’ve gone for a flat top post (patridge) front sight.
What weight bullets are you using for the matches?
