mrwhite1 our snipers are getting 1/2 inch groups with ours. They love the gun.
Schultz
Hard to argue with that, especially out of a semi-auto 308 platform!
Pretty sure I'm going to order one as soon as I sell my M21
When i bought my first JP .308 i began to work up loads using the 135 gr. SMKs. 44.5 grs. of IMR 4895 yielded a .322 (.640 out to out) 5 shot group at 100 yards. hard to beat that!

personally, i am very much attached to my pistol. it would hurt its feelings if i abandoned it!
i might leave it alone for a short while, but i would always come back. honest!
-
someone with a glockenspiel might feel ok to throw the dang thang, but my pistols cost me too much. personally, i am too slow to worry about ditchin' the gun quickly......i drop the mag and rack the slide twice to make sure, then put it in the box or barrel or waste basket or whatever they are using........

here is one---

Mark Buchanan of Buchanan Bag works makes some really great stuff. 3 gun gear.com, i think.
-
contact jim poor at flatland forge---he makes two kinds, one that adds height only and one that adds 5 rounds.

Anybody else want to shoot the WWII division again? i thought it was fun. (except the 3 times my op rod came off). i don't care about the theme of the match, i would like to try the WWII again. anyone else?

JJ was making Oreo clays at his RO school. He took two clays and filled one with a lot of dirt, then rubber banded the two together. When they were hit they literally exploded!
-
Jamie, you are really a great RO. (marginal as a shooter, but then..........)
don't let nobody bullshit you, you did an outstanding job.

"I would like to see the Garand come back with a Korean theme. If not, then how about the M1 and M1a with the M1a being limited in ammo or having to double some of the targets? "
you betcha! like i posted earlier--M1,M1,M1! i think (hope) i have mine fixed.
-
alright, now this one is in the books, let us look to next year. now that i have another op-rod on the M1 i am ready to try the "Korean War" theme. how about it? more fun? yes!
come on Sheldon! Korea! Korea! Korea! M1! M1! M1! (hey Rob, wanna go once more?)
-
i don't know the name of the RO on stage 7 who sported a handlebar moustache and chin whiskers, but he was a class act. Sheldon, all your ROs are good, but some were even better than that.
-
Just got back to the Land of Enchantment. What a great match. All the ROs were great! (well, Jamie, maybe above average--you know the dancing for points thingy). Sheldon and Marcy--fantastic match! the WWII re-enactment was over the top. Seeya next year for sure, (Lord willing).

Most details are listed on the website at;
"The survival Trial is an adventure race revolving around survival based situations. This is a continuous 24 hour event, spanning approximately 50 miles of rugged mountainous terrain."
The event starts at 2200 hours on 5 May, finishing up 24 hours later. A few team slots are still available. Each competitor will need a pistol and a carbine, ammo, and survival gear. RO/safety observer slots are also open for the shooting scenarios and other staff positions. If you aren't sure you want to "run" in the event as a competitor, staffing it is a great option to check it out, At this time more staff is needed.

2013 the ROs are going to have to worry about getting ..
...Fraged by mutinous squads.fragged, not fraged. we haven't even shot this year's match. let us worry about next year later.

We managed to find rooms at Burnet. There are several motels there. Just down the road from the range.
-
MOTEL ALERT! if anyone has reservations at the Cedar Creek Inn at Bertram be advised: they lost my reservations. i made those about 4 or 5 months ago. i called today to cancel out one room for a squad member who couldn't make the match. they had no record of my reservations. the motels in the area are pretty much full. good luck!

I am shooting the WWII division at the match. i thought it would be a hoot. as to family: my dad was a bomber pilot in Europe, his middle brother was on a destroyer escort in the Pacific, his youngest brother was in the 1st Marine Division in the Pacific, my mother's brother was in the Army in the Pacific and my father-in-law was in the 3rd Marine Division in the Pacific.
we do honor the WWII vets, but we are also going to have a very good time shooting those guns. y'all come.

i have an IOR 1.1-4X, a 1.5-8X, and a 3-18X. all are great. the 1.1-4X is an older scope but has performed very well. i have it on a .223 carbine that i use for NRA tactical matches. the 1.5-8X is on my .308 for multi gun and the 3-18X is on a bolt gun for my newly acquired habit of precision shooting. i highly recommend them. they are heavy, tho. they are high quality for the price.

I have considered that as well but it would still be over what I would pay for the M1A with the parts I would want to use. My mind is not made up just thinking of my options. My main question is which M1A do I need. For example is the National Match gun a waste of money for our game and is the Loaded a better choice for the money?
Thanks
Pat
I searched this particular forum for 'M1a national match'; not the three words in quotes as a rigid phrase, simply those three words.
Some quick results of interest below.
Thoughts from Bryan:
Some advise from Kurt:
Sorry rockie move on my part not using search. I did look up a site and found that the national match is guarnteed at 1.5 moa with match ammo and the loaded is at 3 moa. I think I am going to get the National Match its $300 more from my FFL. I will follow Kurts advice on the sights and trigger.
i think the loaded has a medium heavy barrel. i had a standard m1a that i sent back and had a medium heavy barrel put on. it would consistently shoot one-half MOA at all distances with match ammo. ball ammo went a bit bigger.

Is there a golf cart rental or a ATV rental in the area?

JP offers the 22 inch in a full contour barrel, they do not offer the medium contour in the 22". here is a pic of my 22" after it has been turned down and comped. Benny Hill did this work.
