Mil-Snip shoot, Sudbury area, . Any interest?

[slug]

Is there any interest in a milsurp - sniper shoot? We can put one on at the Cream Hill Gun Club, about 1/2 hour west of Sudbury.
I'm thinking of pre-45 era rifles at 200 yards. Clones permitted as long as they're full wood and have period correct scopes.
Modern ones would be allowed, up to three power. I would permit the USMC 1942 Springfield clone with its 8x scope, since it doesn'the shoot as well as my 03A4 clone.
If we can get five or six interested shooters, it would be a good start.
We can also hold standard milsurp shoots.

I would be interested in the milsurp shoot. I have a Ross and Long Branch, but no scopes on them.

I have an ole ugly .303 that might reach out that far, if I can see the target.
Red Dot & Trail boss might reach.
Hope this gun don't blow up, but will give it a try....

Only rifle I own that fits the criteria is my Mosin-Nagant M91/30 PU...can't say I've ever fired it to 200 yards.

I'll follow this thread but most of my time in the summer is taken up by fishing so I can't promise attendance!

EOSC just east of Ottawa has had a milsurp shoot several times a year for a long time now, very well attended with somewhere on the order of about 25 shooters on average - except for the one winter shoot when it was -30 and 36 shooters showed up for the day!

Good luck with your shoot and if I was closer I would definitely be there.

I don't own any milsurp sniper rifles (thinking on it I don't even own a rifle with a scope) however if you did do a milsurp shoot, I would definitely attend if I was available at the time (I might even be willing to compete against the sniper rifles with a iron sight rifle, as 200 yards isn't that far).
