A Great Day at the Range
      #370092 - 09/10/22 10:22 PM

I had my threesome of old girls out to the range yesterday. Top is a 1913 Simson & Suhl Commercial Mauser sporting rifle in 8mm (.318). Middle is my Mannlicher model 1905 made in 1920 in 6.5mm. Bottom is my 1910 Mannlicher made in 1913 in 9.5mm. The 6.5 gave me the best group that I have ever had at 100 yards with open sights. Just under 1 inch. My load is 129 gr Hornady Spire Points with 33.5 grains of 4064. It was a good day!

Very nice!
I'm still puzzled as to why people buy new rifles.

How did the 9.5 perform?

Good shooting. Open sights and less than 1 inch at 100 yards.

I don't knowceither why people buy new rifles. Perhaps gunwriters spruiking the newest and the best as the only thing to have ... This month ...

As for new or pre-owned I think I have 1x a .22 Mag RF CZ and a 12g Simson Suhl SS shotgun new. Everything is pre-owned and up to 150 years old.

fjrdoc - good shooting with that 6.5. Nice string of rifles.
My only new guns are my air rifles.

Thanks for the compliments. The 9.5 shot very well. I got good groupings. I will need to raise the aperture. She shot 2 inches low at 50 and about 6 inches low at 100. I left the range when the bubbas started to arrive.
