Magnificent Military Mauser Match

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

Magnificent Military Mauser Match

Post by ajcarey » Mon May 02, 2005 3:24 pm

Okay you slovenly couch potatoes, Spring is in full bloom and it is time to get out and put some holes in paper.





This match is restricted to <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>any military issue Mauser action rifle</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, any year and any nation. Just for grins and because I have one, the German Commission 1888 rifle is also included. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Iron sights only.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->





The course of fire will be 12 rounds with the best 10 counting. X-ring hits will count 10 points for score and will also be counted separately for use as a tie-breaker.





OTC, milsurp, or handloaded ammunition is fine.





<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Target</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->: Standard 100 yard small bore target. For those without access, dimensions will be provided.





Match categories:





<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>50 Yards.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Offhand. No sling or other unnatural support.





<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>100 Yards.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Prone, sitting or bench. Slings are OK, but no other support may be used.





Scores are to be posted on the thread set up for this match in the Mauser forum. Since we are all gentlemen here, benefit of the doubt to dromia, pictures of the targets need not be posted, but in the case of a tie, a posted target picture will take precedence over a non-posted one. If you want/can, please post a picture of the rifle you used. (Everyone seems to enjoy these). If you handloaded your ammo and wish to do so, sharing your load information may be of interest and help others.





More that one entry per weapon is OK in case you had a bad day and are able to have another try.





When posting your score, please identify the weapon used, shooting position and type of ammunition.





Entries must be posted to the forum NLT midnight, July 4, 2005, a date chosen in honor of the American independence from those ugly Enfield rifles.
