Is this a milsurp?

All the online sources I can find show the lampagyar as a military trainer, but this don't look like a trainer to me.

The target say's it all. Finally got rid of that crappy winchester ammo!

Sporting rifle. Looks like it shoots well too. What distance?

50 yrds, it opened up to about 5" at 100 but it was overcast & I couldn't see the target all that well.

Trainer it might well be.

After all, we had our CNo.7s and Long Branch .22s, the Americans had the Springfield in .22. This is just the other guys doing much the same thing.

One point though: from the looks of that target, they were training some VERY good shots.

A treasure for sure.

Keep in mind that the war office trainers didn't look much like military rifles either.

I've got a Mossberg 42B at home that my son rescued from the dead. It was already bubba'd, sadly. Never thought to consider it a milsurp though. I've never shot a target with it but it's wompus bad medicine for gophers.
Maybe I'll snap a pic when I get home

There is another version with a slide tangent rear sight and fixed hooded front post sight. It also has a straight bolt handle, slimmer stock and sling swivels.
