Hey guys! Since there was some interest in part one of my range report figured I'd do a part 2. Same as last time, 75 yards shooting from a rest but this time I was sitting. I shot 6 rounds today per group with a mix of 180gr imperial and federal factory ammo. The temp today was a brisk -22 but the old Ross still grouped nicely.

I couldn't post a group 1 cause it got messed up by some stray SKS rounds, but I'll mention it was not a great group, I was all over the place.

Here's group 2, got the sights all adjusted since last time so now point of aim and point of impact line up pretty good. The first and second group where shot with some old imperial I picked up at the last gun show, I'm not sure if it was me, the extremely cold bore or the ammo but she wasn't grouping well at the beginning of the day.

Here's group 3 Shot with federal. I count 7 (one I believe is another stray SKS round! Doah!!!)

Here's group 4 with a nice warm barrel.

Pretty happy with the results, I've only shot this rifle once before and I'm still figuring out the sights. I'm hoping that with a lot of practice I may be able to cut these groups down even more.

Still can't believe that a 97 year old gun can group this well!!

Right on! Hope you post some pics of it and then maybe some of your own range results! I like my Ross so much that I never even fired the old Enfield today, that's the first time I've done that. They may not be everyone's cup of tea but for whatever reason the ross fits me like a glove.

I really wish we could have something like that within reasonable distance of where I live...that would be a lot of fun!

Manitoba in particular because Smellie and his bud would be there...

Our strength and weakness is the same, our country is too big...even Southern Ontario is so large that it's like driving across Europe.
