Are you shooting from a supported position? Mine seems to shoot about 4" to the left and a couple

Yes, what I would describe as loosely bench rested. It's easier when
you are trying to get the sights zeroed even though my sling supported
prone position is almost as steady.

I've odered a new, adjustable front sight per Tim's recommendation but
it's not yet clear whether or not I'll be able to use it in our
antique rifle competition. It may turn out that I don't need it.
Making a slightly deeper notch in the rear sight has made a big
difference in acquiring a decent sight picture. With more practice I
may be good to go. Stay tuned.

Are you allowed to use the sniper rifle?

Guns don't cause problems. The behavior
of certain gun owners causes problems.

No, the rules say no scopes allowed. There will be separate groups
for bolt action vs semi-auto.

Hopefully they will give us Mosin guys some extra re-load time since
that box magazine is a bit clunky.

Do you know where I can get a good price on a M-1 Garand?

What's good? My local range, Sharpshooters, has one that looks brand new for $1650. It is gorgeous.

Check with this guy. Here's a link to his 'other auctions'. I didn't see an M-1, but I didn't look
closely. He and I have exchanged several emails, and he might be able to lead you to a source.

If they still have it I know of one that looks almost new in Traverse City Michigan on sale for $1195.
