8 clicks up at 50 yards was makin pretty good groups. Brass ejected anywhere from 1 0'clock position to 4 o'clock. I then shot some hxp 65 and it was hitting low right and had a few duds. Garand is so fun to shoot! Then i shot Steyr m95 with nazi milsurp ammo. It shot about the same size groups as Garand with battle sights. I was happy about that! Then i flipped up the sights, and went to what i thought was a lower sight, and it shot about 14 inches low and 5 right, at 50 yds. Both the rifles are great to shoot! That straight bolt action steyr is fun to work! Now i get to clean rifles!! Life is good!

congrats on gettin out , nothing like range time to ease that cabin fever this time of year ,

i worked the club because we had a large CCW class saturday and got to try my new 12ga loads out in the WIN 1897 , it shot well and i think i have a winner for wild bunch cowboy action , it was freezing drizzle so i didnt hang outside for long

i was reading in the cowboy cronical over the weekend about a shoot [think it was NE state shoot] down near allience , think ill look into taking that shoot in this year if i can fit it into the schedule
