Winter Warrior Milsurp Postal Match

Same M1 that I posted earlier.
Didn’t notice that. Thought the argument would be if one of those 10s actually hit the X ring.
Yes, prone with sling.
Most of my targets have that right side bias. Since I got the rifle to shoot 200yd CMP, I’m apprehensive to adjust as it might go away at 200. I haven’t shot enough 200 to know if I need to adjust my “0” or just adjust windage for 100. I’d like to know my 200 “0” is correct before playing with the right knob.
I would give those 2X for this match but if called out and a gauge used the torn paper would not fly for the score of X as it the circumference of the bullet and gauge would tell the story. This is why the CMP/NRA are specific on target material and backer.
still a good score and I say the Xs are good!

Damn it was cold and gusty today! Why did I ever start this thing? LOL...
Target on the left Winchester M1 Garand recently picked up from CMP Vermont games. First cold bore shot at 8-ring 6:30, don't recall what I last shot in this rifle but for LC Match had to go 4 clicks up and one right for the next 10 shots. 97/0X is OK for me on such a day, probably the rifle would do better than I did.
Target on right via new to me K31 and PPU fmj's. Sold a pretty nice all-matching K31 then a month and a half later ran across this one. Bit of a mixmaster but shoots OK despite a little bore frost near the muzzle. Somebody's old Schutzenfest rifle. Probably would have shot great except for the idiot behind the trigger. Outermost shots at 9:00 and 11:00 were me trying a little Kentucky windage, but a little became a lot. 95 and 3X's all on top of each other not bad. Before this target only took ~5 shots to sight in, and first shot on paper was in the black. Got lucky, because only way I can adjust was via brass punch to the front sight.
I kept losing my right thumb on Sunday.
Fingers were getting a little numb after shooting both of my rifles. Very glad the K31 sighted in quickly. Getting close to completely numb after taking a few shots with my neighbor's SCAR.
I'd like to take one rifle (only one!) to the range on Thursday. Should be below zero. Assuming I'm the only one at the range, I'll be a total wuss and drive the truck to the 100 yard line to set targets. Really should shoot the M39 in such weather but not sure if I have any decent ammo.
I had that sucker surrounded with the M1. It was only a matter of time before I either hit it or my fingers started snapping off. X-ring won...

majspud, that RR Inn has some strange going ons at times. The PD gets called there for undesirables every once in a while. I see you headed up the trail. Thats a nice trip up through there. Nice view from up above the hairpin at the closed down gift shop.

Home now; pics flipped to normal.
Wife and I are looking for a little retirement house "in the country". Were in Millville, Chicopee, Webster, Greenfield, the Hamptons, and Greenfield. Three possibles. All depends on when son gets out of residential care and does/does not come home to us.

Been following this thread and have a couple questions.
What positions are acceptable? I see a lot of benched rifles, is that OK or is it just merely run whatcha brung fun match?
Can I enter a target for each MILSURP? Say...a M48, M1, No1Mk4, M1 Carbine?

It was a perfect morning for Finn hardware:
I think today was officially the coldest day I have ever made a range trip, 3F and wind gusting to 25 mph (minus 20F wind chill). Prior record was 7 degrees F. No matter- I have a goose down parka that's built like a tank by Canucks- no not Canada Goose, I'm not a rich Asian. Can't wear the damn thing unless it's 20F or colder. Cleaned and lubed the M39 with Marvel Mystery Oil. I generally like RemOil, but that stuff turns to gum in this weather. The MMO worked great- action was very slick all morning.
Besides corrosive spam can 54R, I had some cheap Herters 180 gr soft point ammo. Shot decent with it, though for some reason it shoots a little right vs. my preferred Hornady or reloads.
96 1-X, OK for me. Decent grouping, 2 highest shots are from me trying some Kentucky windage for where the Herters was hitting.
Next up will be one of my M1's. I'd like to check out accuracy and see how they operate with the Mobil 1 grease that I use.

All fun man! Thanks for putting it on for everyone. Cool to see results people are getting from various Milsurps. I've got an m48 Mauser that I've only shot once. Bought it for $75 from a Big 5 sporting goods store years ago. Rifle, bayonet, original sling and ammo pouch. I bought a box of Remington Core-Lokt 8mm Mauser and hit the 100yd range. I seem to remember putting all 20 in a paper plate. Then I cleaned it and hung it on the wall wheres its been since. It was/is a cool rifle and I figured it was worth the $75 if even for a wall hanger.
Get it out there, deserves to be shot. The rem korlok is good ammo but I feel its stout! So far the best 8mm with out spending a lot is ppu match Norma is good also but over $30 box and not worth it imho for milsurps.
Somewhere between 20 - 30 degrees no big deal but this stuff is really something. Have to get after my college kids to make sure they have clothing for a breakdown, not just quick walks to/from car. Not sure how many years of trying to beat some sense into them will be necessary...
