Ouch! I hope you at least used a shooting jacket or something .
I've been shooting my VKT M39 Mosin Nagant every week for over a month now, because I found out that since I was neglecting it, my groups haven't been as consistant . I think I'll shoot it for this month's THR postal match, since I feel pretty good about the way I've been shooting lately.
However, I just bought a CZ452 Lux (get to pick it up on 4/10/04) and I plan on bringing that rifle with me to every range session, so it should soon take the title away from the M39 .
"However I've fired off 120 or so from a 1903a3 in a single day.. that's a workout."
I don't have that rifle, so perhaps the comparison isn't apt. But when I was having trouble zeroing the scope on my Russian M44 after the muzzle brake came loose, I went through six or more of the milsurp wrapped packages of 20 (the ones that come in the oversized Spam "Taliban" cans) I didn't notice much the rest of that day, but the next morning when I woke up, I felt as if someone had beaten the crap out of me. I was a walking bruise for much of the rest of the week.
10/22 and Yugo SKS. 10/22 is cheap. SKS is lots of fun. There's just something about C&R and other old school guns. They beat the new stuff hands down.
I agree with AV1611, my first is the 10/22 followed by my Yugo SKS for fun..
now if I get those bricks of ammo across the water to here, I can shoot the SKS even more !!!!
