another Report from my Rangeday last Saturday

here my Turkish Mauser.
I was following Ben`s Turkish Mauser because i was much impressed about his Work and not at least his formidable results with different loads.
i bought a cheap Turkish Mauser Mod 98 Rifle
Unfortunately this one had a crooked barrel.My decision to sporterized this Rifle became the needed impulsion and i going on.
first the picture about the crooked Barrel followed by the result for now.

Looks pretty impressive to me.

Glad your new " Scout " is working out well for you.
Seems your .325 " bullets are shooting much better than the .323 " bullets.
Very predictable for the standard 8 m/m bore rifles.
Your 11,5 grs Do36 load looks very impressive.

Hi Ben

thx a lot for your nice words

i`ve been looking for closer results next time
how do you support your rifle ?
if i only support the forearm like i do there is some jiggle in the scope and it`s hard to avoid it.
