Range trip 3/6/10 with a 92 yr old

[MikeW]

I wanted to check the sighting on the PBR that I have in for sale since it had a loose scope mount the last time I had it out.

In addition, I picked up a 1918 M1917 Eddystone rifle a while ago and was itching to take it for a spin too...

The M1917 will be 92 years old this year and is a hoot to shoot. I will have to get use to it as there is not a sight setting for 100 yards (200-1600). The sights do not have windage adjustment either.. .OLD SCHOOL for sure.

All the shots hit paper at 100 yards.. just not where I wanted them to exactly LOL

I did get the PBR .308 back to "ok" too. It has a four round mag and here is the 4 round group. It was not far off at all. Without the cold bore shot the 3 shot would have been a .50 group. With the 4th it is a .78.

Did it have the cleaning kit in the stock

Nice shooting MikeW, would love to have an Eddystone myself.

Nope I checked. I have a few M1 garands and always check just in case some GI packed his stock full of 100 dollar bills.

Thanks

I talked myself into this one and the more I look at it the more I like it. It is a sweet shooter too. I thought that it would recoil much worse than it did.

Good luck on you M1917 hunt
