All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary

No prairie dogs at Roberts. They is ground squirrels and they have had a
population explosion everywhere this year.
Doubtful herring could hit either a prairie dog or a ground squirrel
with that sort of rifle or, in fact, any other kind of firearm, unless
the critter was three feet away with its tail tied to a fence post.



Well Harry, I think the results would be quite interesting to hand
John or Tom a quality M1, or M1-A and go to the 400m range with them.
I'm speculating that after maybe one or two windage rounds you
wouldn't see "maggie's drawers" again.


It's amazing to go to Camp Perry, and observe a few veterans of the
Korean war and see what they can still do with an M-1
Garrand. ...very VERY impressive.

OS-OK.

Additional comment...

While I wouldn't stand downrange of anyone firing a weapon, 400 meters
is a quarter of a mile. I think herring could fire off rounds all day
long on a standard sight miiltary rifle like the ones you've offered up,
and if he ever hit a metal pieplate target (the size of a man's head) at
that distance, it would be pure coincidence. Unless it were painted
orange, I doubt herring could even see such a target, much less sight in
the rifle while locking in the target. I've seen his glasses.

There aren't many 60+ year old guys around who could use a
standard-issue military rifle to bang rounds off a metal pieplate at 400
meters, especially guys who don't shoot regularly. Sorry, your pants are
on fire.

Well, that's my point of reference for bare metal sights and 100-yard
and plus rifle shooting...8" paper targets mounted on cardboard *or*
preferably 8" steel pieplates.

I suppose if you set up a target the size of a car at 400 meters, it
would be a mite easier. Or a barn.

My comments about herring stand, though, and I'd double-down on that,
knowing he probably hasn't shot a rifle regularly in many years.

I have 20/20 and 20/30 eyesight, but if I am shooting long range via
typical metal sights, I have a pair of shooting glasses I use that put
the target a bit out of the sharpest zone but let me see bare metal
sights properly. That's usually enough for me to hit the pieplate at
long distances.

I've never shot targets at 400 meters. I shoot at "combat" and target
distances, usually seven, fifteen, twenty five, fifty and one hundred
yards. If I had a place to shoot those 400 meter shots, though, I'd be
using a bolt action rifle, not a garand or one of its successors. I have
a buddy with a Gustav Mauser CG 68 that I've shot a few times and it
seems pretty accurate, though I have no idea what it would do at 400
meters.

6.5x55 swede's are pretty good stuff. Especially that Husquavarna your

I have a Ljungman in the same caliber. The sight range is up to 700m,
which doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit anything at that distance,
but you might get lucky.

Bought any 6.55 ammo lately? Holy tamale.

My buddy bought his at a Virginia pawn shop, and practically stole it,
since all the numbers match, it had a full accessory kit, and looked
damned close to unfired. He made an attempt to trace its history, but I
don't think he had much success.

He uses it as his "deer" rifle. When I accompany him, I bring a box of
ammo and use it to put soda cans into low earth orbit.

No I haven't I bought But I bought 700 rds about 15 yr.s ago in

way up!

I imagine it was practically brand new seeing it was probably used
only for a trainer.

long distances.
I've never shot targets at 400 meters. I shoot at "combat" and target
distances, usually seven, fifteen, twenty five, fifty and one hundred
yards. If I had a place to shoot those 400 meter shots, though, I'd be
using a bolt action rifle, not a garand or one of its successors. I have
a buddy with a Gustav Mauser CG 68 that I've shot a few times and it
seems pretty accurate, though I have no idea what it would do at 400
meters.
6.5x55 swede's are pretty good stuff. Especially that Husquavarna your
friend has.
I have a Ljungman in the same caliber. The sight range is up to 700m,
which doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit anything at that distance,
but you might get lucky.

The Swedes are like the Swiss. they built high quality fire arms and
never really needed to use them.
Bought any 6.55 ammo lately? Holy tamale.

My buddy bought his at a Virginia pawn shop, and practically stole it,
since all the numbers match, it had a full accessory kit, and looked
damned close to unfired. He made an attempt to trace its history, but I
don't think he had much success.

No I haven't I bought But I bought 700 rds about 15 yr.s ago in
unissued Military ball 1953, But I can imagine tht the rices have gone
way up!

I imagine it was practically brand new seeing it was probably used
only for a trainer.

He uses it as his "deer" rifle. When I accompany him, I bring a box of
ammo and use it to put soda cans into low earth orbit.

man, that's an awful expensive plinker.

I bought a few boxes of 6.55 a couple of years ago at a gun show for
about 75 cents a round...$15 a box or so. Good ammo, too...Remington. I
might still have a box around somewhere.

I much prefer .22LR for fun shooting...cheap, less noisy, accurate at
the distances I prefer to shoot.

That's always been a standing arguement if a bolt action is more
accurate than automatic.

I myself say "6 one way 1/2 a dozen the other"

The arguement I hear is that the action of the bolt opening upon
firing throws the barrel off target. But the only fallacy to that
theory is that the trajectory is far gone before the bolt considers
opening.

A friend of mine has a National Match Garrand and a Springfield Armory
reworked '03-A3 and with bench rest, he holds consistently tight
groups with both, in so much that you cant tell the difference in the
accuracy of either.

Well, I just bought a Zombie Killer, aka a rifle in .22LR. I wanted
something that would be reasonably accurate right out of the box, so I
did not want a Ruger 10/22, aka the "Bayliner" of rifles. Seriously, the
Ruger is a fine rifle, very popular, but everyone I know who shoots one
seems to spend its price all over again in barrels, actions, stocks,
trigger work, and even receivers.

I wanted a reasonably price rifle, $500 or less, that would perform
properly with my having to rebuild it. I took a look at some CZ's...they
make very nice bolt-action rifles in .22LR, sort of "mini-Mausers," if
you will. But then I saw someone shooting a rifle I'd not seen or heard
of before...a Thompson Center "Classic." I tried one and was astonished
that with just the sights on the rifle I was shooting 1/2" to 1" groups
at 50 yards after 10 minutes of practice.

So I bought one. Mine looks like this:

It's the "Classic," but with a target barrel and composite stock.

Shoots great...unbelievable, actually.

Got a scope incoming for it, a 6-20x40.

Guaranteed to kill zombies at 100 yards, with 1/2" groups! Probably work
on The Attack of the LoogyJustWaitaFreaks, too.
