Finally decided to man up and go back to they way real men shoot: Iron sights over bolt actions in 30 something caliber. So I took a couple of aspirin, blew the dust off some oldies and went down to the farm. Took a 1941 Mod 39 VKT, a BYF 1944 98K, a 1944 Remington 03A3, and a 1944 SMLE MK IV. Fired about forty rounds through each at 100 yds at 8x10" paper on a dark background. The best was the 98K. I has consistent 5" 5 round groups, next was the 03A3. Still good but a little more spread. Next was the Mod 39, last the MKIV. Function in allwas perfect, I shot surplus 8mm, .303, and 7.62x54.
The 30.06 were my own loads. These old guns will shoot. had a good afternoon.
