Nice grouping.

I have a "competition" High Standard .22 Model 107. The small caliber ammunition is cheap, and the gun is great fun to shoot. The "competition" label means that it has a hair trigger. This makes it really easy to keep the gun still, which makes it much easier to get a grouping like the OP.

I inherited the .22 from my dad who had a matching High Standard .45. I did not take both because the .45 ammunition cost makes it expensive to shoot, and because a hair trigger on a gun of this caliber is not a good thing to use outside the range.

I have several shotguns (two 12s and a 20) that I used for shooting clay discs back in the 60s, but haven't shot any of them in decades. I just don't know any skeet shooters anymore and it's no fun to shoot with strangers.

I hear that! So glad my wife like to shoot.

Birthdays Sunday (64th) so I'm planning on heading out early that day to do some plinking. Right now I'm thinking it's gonna be the Marlin 39's, Buckmarks and Garand.
Left to right- 1955 (my birth year) Mounty.
'82 Golden 39A I fitted a Century LTD stock and fore arm to.
'46 39A with incorrect stock.
30-30 and Marlin LTD V 45/70

I bet that 45-70 Govt is a shoulder stomper.

 

[Norwester55]

Oh yeah, it can be. ;) I shot quite a few full power jacketed loads thru it before I wised up and started loading cast for plinking. My brother in law said it was comparable to his 340 Wby if not worse. That was before I swapped out the Marquis De Sade plastic butt plate for a Limbsaver pad though.

Completely and utterly depends on how you load it and, frankly, how you hold it.

But, yeah, a Gov't can give a bit of a whomp.

7mm Mag is worse, frankly.

As a fellow lever-gun and, especially, Marlin enthusiast, I'm a bit sad that all those great new loads that Marlin came out with a few years back didn't take.

.450 Marlin forever.

Headed out tomorrow with the UltraMag 300. Elk hunting in NM in Oct. Hopefully I won't embarrass myself, they say we should be able to do 300 yds.

Nah if I want to hurt myself I'll just run some 00 buck thru the 12 gauge. It's cheaper. :)

Buckmarks and Garand.

Lets see the Garand .

 

[Norwester55]

Lets see the Garand .

Its not as interesting as most but a lotta fun! One of the 308 "Specials" they came out with a few yrs ago. Springfield Armory receiver with a Boyds stock and new Criterion bbl. I wanted a shooter and I had a few other 308's so... IIRC the receiver was built in August of '43. And its mini-me an Inland carbine.

For true painful pleasure, I always turn to .10 gauge slugs.
437 grains to an ounce, so....
We get 437g/ ounce X 1 3/4 ounces = 764 grains....
Those bad boys will take down anything in the hemisphere.

I have taken Whitetail with this one.

Gun cleaning 101

The wife and I go shooting. We started in CT and had our conceal/ carry there. We now live in Florida. We have our conceal/ carry for Florida. We try to get to the range once a week. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.

Wife has a Sig P238 and I have a Taurus G2C (9 mm) and a Ruger single action six shot revolver, western style. Her Sig has a 7 shot mag. My Taurus has a 12 shot, double stack mag.

My wife is 5'3" and 120 lbs. soaking wet, but this is what she chose for her EDC -a full size 1911 in 45acp. And she loves it. I'm a lucky man ;D

And it's a huge plus that both our guns use the same ammo and magazines. Really makes things simple.

Well that depends on who likes what . Mine is a CMP with all USGI issued parts . Springfield 1944 .
I love it . 100 yards off the bench open sites , same hole or half moons the hole with surplus m2 ball ammo . I shot some after market Remington , 6 " groups .
Got on line bought all the surplus 30.06 I could find .


30 Carbine is also a CMP rifle . Inland , 1944 .
Has the M2 mag catch , so it can hold the larger mag with no issues .
