Quote: Nice group, Curly. I used a model 52 Winchester, the match rifle from the '50's a the WPFGames in 1989. It was a "Standard Rifle" competition, 3-postion at 50 yards (or meters?). Our Corrections team won the gold, Keith on my team got another gold for high score & I got the silver for second highest score. I think there were 7 or 8 4-man teams, from around the world. Those M52 Winchesters give up nothing in the accuracy game. During the practice the day before the matches, an Aussie asked me if I'd trade him my Federal 36gr. HP ammo, brick for brick for his Lapua Match ammo. Now, the 52 shot really well with the Federal stuff, but came alive with that Lapua match ammo. I only dropped 12 points in offhand, 3 in kneeling and 1 in prone. The 10 on that target is 1/10" wide, with the rest of the scoring rings running 1/8". It was a metallic sight contest, so everyone was using double apertures. LOL - I could see in those days. Keith beat me by 2 points. |
