Plinking with the babushka and Garand

[SS Junk]

Discovered an outdoor range 20min from my house that's free to the public. Only a 100yds, but far better than the others around which charge and only wan their ammunition used. Going to try and make this a weekly Friday morning thing...




Was able to adjust the scope to hitting 2" groups at 100yds and .75 at 50 with the 91/30. Wondering how long the cheap scope will stay zeroed. With the Garand I was shooting at 50yds and was all over the place. Was able to at least keep it on a 8X10 sheet of paper, but was only out there to blast it anyway. Pissed off a lot of the scope setters who have shit that basically shoots the rifle for them.

Looks like a kick ass range. I wish that we had one like that out here. Our only range over 25 yds is $15 per hour.

Yeah it's very well kept. Friend of mine went today and ended up waiting three hours to get a spot. It's self-policing so people basically stay however long they want.

What scope and mount is that you used? I wouldn't mind having one on one of my carbine nagants.

I took the rear sight off. Fortunately it was not soldered onto the dovetail so it was easy to remove. Can't say this is the best thing ever since I have yet to put enough rounds through the rifle to see if the thing stays zeroed. Twice now it's stayed true so who knows. Have seen lots of y00to0be complaints of scope mounts like this sliding around. Mine has yet to do so. Used blue loc-tite on all set screws.

Looks like a pretty cool range. Is that here in Texas?

[SS Junk]

Unfortunately not.

I know this is old, but if you are still looking for a scope mount for a Nagant here's one.
