I went out to the range this morning to test-fire the Schultz & Larsen .22 that I got from Tradeex and check the sighting on my 1942 Mosin Nagant. I was tired of it shooting 8" high at 100 yds, so had made a new front sight pin and installed it.
Once I got it filed down to the point where I was on at 100 yds, I was happy.
A friend was out there with me. He has just gotten a Savage Model 10 BA and put a fancy Vortex Viper 6.5-20 scope on it. He was sighting it in after he and I installed the scope yesterday.
Toward the end of the day, he offered to let me shoot his Savage. I had a 6" AR500 gong hanging at 200 meters and that's what I shot at. First shot with his Savage went over top. I adjusted my hold and put the next 2 rounds on the gong about 1" apart.
I then went over to my Mosin, loaded 3 rounds of Chinese surplus ammo into it and told him "I'm getting cocky and trying for that gong with this thing"
The 2 bullet marks on the right are from his $2500 rig
The 2 on the left are from my 73 year-old, pitted -bore Russian reject. I'll admit that I did miss my first shot.
He wasn't impressed when I brought the gong back and showed him. He even said a rude thing to me. We had a good laugh about it.
I guess I'll keep the Mosin.
