Possible. I find the M27/M28 sights easier to pick up. For some reason the M39 sights can get fuzzy on me, depending on the lighting. If the lighting is good I have no problem, but if it's dim or cloudy, it's harder to get a good sight picture. Probably doesn't help that my front sight was damaged at some point and isn't flat across the top and left side.
I took the M39 out again yesterday and shot 20 rounds through it just to see if it was me or the ammo. It seems like it was me last weekend. I shot alot better yesterday. Probably should've shot a few targets to submit...
Tuesday, sunny but 30˚ with 5-10 mph wind and the Criterion barreled Garand I use in matches when I am able. Shooting at 100 yards so I adjusted down 2 clicks, or so I thought. Actually went up 2, took the first shot, then down 4 clicks to correct myself 
First target shooting off front rest. Second target slung up prone wearing my shop coat. Last time I got down like that was last October at Old Colony. Getting older and it's not getting easier...threw a couple 8's, the others in the black. Finally got hold of a long eye-relief eyepiece for my Celestron spotter, what a difference. (Thanks mac1911 for the heads-up!!!)

Nice, yes that LER is great especially if you wear glasses and shooting prone.
Funny I bought the 20x60 eye piece for other purposes plus it fits my telescope.
At 25 yards me and the son where scoping squirrels on 60x worked great and detail was crisp. My son thought it was really cool. I will be using the LER for matches. I wish there was a 40-50x LER?

Tomorrow looks like the last chance to get in on this shooting. Snowy and cold. After that it looks pretty warm going into the next week or so. Going to try and get out tomorrow morning with one of my swiss rifles to see how it goes.
I banned myself from any “winnings” so re draw If I come up.
I dont think I have any “high” scores anyway.
Although if I can pull some 80s out of my ass off hand this year I should have some decent scores!
Might get the 1942 US PROPERTY 513T out sat or maybe a M1 carbine
Nice pics, and good shooting for an AK at 70 yards. If I ever end up moving back South, I'm really going to miss the New England winters- even shooting in the cold. I really, really hate spring here, though. I'd rather go out in zero degree weather than 34 degrees and raining.
This thread actually got me to go find a new place to shoot. My normal place is where the snowmobile trail goes through, so for winter I had to find a spot with a big enough backdrop and angled away from any posability of someone coming.
I much prefer feeling cold over sweating from just being outside

I think the coldest I shot this season was 17? No matter, take me out of the winner pool as well since I already won one. 
Need a little clean up and some TLC , trigger needs to be worked over , I going to call Daisy and see if they have any of the adjustable trigger assemblies and order a few re seal kits.
So far this one looks like it will deliver as long as I hold well.
My friends son can really shoot and usually cleans the targets when hes here shooting mine. He laughs when he shoots it , he has one of thise $5k anchutz
92-1x.
Shot the M1917 Eddystone I acquired from @majspud. I said I would do a 1917 entry, so I had to be a man of my word. This was my first range trip since about Thanksgiving, which is by far the longest I've gone since becoming a gunowner.
I was actually pretty worried, being very rusty. But I took a few practice shots on the steel plates and I was hitting. I didn't bring a spotting scope. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I feel like I've always shot this rifle pretty well.
Ammo was handloads using AA2495:
I normally neck size for the M1917, but I had originally loaded these for one of my M1s, so these were full-length sized.
It was pretty nice out, but a tad chilly. Still snow on the ground.
I finished the trip off shooting some with my beloved 1980 S&W Model 15:
It was really good to get back out there, and I had the range to myself for most of the time.
If snow remains on the ground and @Mountain keeps this running, I'll do another entry or two next week, if all goes according to plan.

Since this is all I have time for figure I would put a little comparison up.
10m air rifle target has a aiming black of
Aprox 1.25” with with 4 ring in the black
Reduce a SR down to 10m your looking at a .69 aiming black out to a 9 ring or 7 ring of 10m air rifle target
A “10” on a 10mm air rifle is 1/4” and the little dot is something like .030”
Target on left is a 25’ nra 5/5 air rifle target oncright is a 10m target with the SR reduced black drawn in have fun
