Well my search turned up very little in the way of actual results, was hoping you guys that own them could chime in.

How accurate can these be with handloads? Lets say at 100-200 yards? I recently sold my normal MN and am thinking about a sniper repo.

If you post pics of targets and rifle you get bonus points, not sure for what but hey it's something!
 
Mine is more accurate than I ever thought it would be. And most important, it holds zero. I just shot it with some surplus ammo and it printed an inch or so higher than my handload zero from last year.

Shot a Sniper Rifle match with it a year ago and scored ok. Mind you, I am NOT a great shooter, and all I had done was boresight the rifle the night before!!! :eek: Still holds zero!! :D

Might have to take a Whitetail this year with it....
 
Mine is pretty accurate, it is original sniper with repro scope. Had original scope, but after 5 shots it broke because of cork seal that was used in 1943. Do not do the same mistake keep original for show and repro for shooting.

Cheers,

Very good to know :eek:
 
I just had mine out yesterday with S&B FMJ. I had to zero it in, as I have one of those ultra-cheap :)D) Fitco scopes on it. Got it shooting a ragged hole at 50 yds, then got some groups about 1 1/2" at 100. One thing I did notice is that it's very sensitive to barrel heat. I bought a bunch of 150 gr. bullets, and I'll be doing some handloads in the next while.
