I did take some burlap as Shamu had suggested and took most of the shine off my new linspeed oil finish.

Have you had a chance to field test your good looking Enfield yet, devrep? I am curious to hear how it shoots, buy I suspect it'll be 3-4" at 100yards. Very acceptable!

All the .22 Lee Enfield trainer's are great fun and are also a good investment.
They do cost more than the .303's

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

was in well worn furniture but pretty cool. almost $900.00 though. yikes.

Locally in MD 200 is it. There's a big one South of here in Va, but they had some issues so I avoid them. They got into a frivolous lawsuit & rolled over when they were badgered for membership info. They released it! I have friends in PA, North of here that go to 550yds on private land.

I’m fortunate, there are three ranges that are an hour from my house. One goes out to 600, one out to 300 and the other to 200 yds. On the 300 and 200 yard ranges, we shoot reduced size targets that simulate the SR 300 and MR 600 yard targets.
The Talladega Marksmanship Park is about an hour and a half away and worth the drive to shoot on the 200, 300 and 600 yard electronic targets, no pit duty and no need to shut down the firing line to score/paste/change targets, very efficient.

My club has a 150 yds. And that's more than enough for my hunting purposes. But would like to challenge my old eyes with the iron sites.

we also have 200 - no shutting down , its capable of 400+ but it shuts down everything as your shooting from 200+ behind the shooting line , been years since that was used - think the last time was when ted nugent came to pick up his rifle , been around a lot of interesting things here over the years ,

Same. Our range does have a 200, but it's behind the 100 so that closes down while people shoot the further distance.

I would love to have some place to shoot 300 to 400 yards safely.

Don't forget the targets get bigger the further away you are! 4' X 4' or even 5' X 5' is normal at long range!

devrep, I’m looking forward to a range report. Very nice looking rifle. Does it have a 5 groove barrel?
Seeing the target at 600 yards is no more difficult than seeing the target at 100 yds, unless of course you post a SR-1 100 yard target at 600 yds! In NRA High Power Rifle and CMP Service Rifle competitive shooting, the diameter of the black “bull” aiming mark is proportional to the range and designed to be used with open or aperture sights. |
