Title: Range day
Post by: MEBears on October 08, 2015, 12:49:19 AM
I finally got my M59 from Dan's down to the range. It did all right with M67 but the Wolf shocked me. I only had one stripper clip of it with me but will have to get some more. I also had the M39 and M69 out. I found out the M39 does not care for light ball.

This was the one magazine of Wolf. I didn't have my scope so I took four shots, marked them and finished the mag. I was surprised at the accuracy. Next time I'll dig out some Golden Tiger.

Thanks, it was a nice day down there. Not very often that I get the place to myself.

But it was the Mosin that really caught you eye, right?  chuckles1

Looks like some good shooting to me MEBears! That's why I like the Wolf, it does real good for us too. Looks like a nice range also, thanks for sharing your good time with us.

Looks like a clean kill to me!  Good shooting MEBears!  How do you rate your m59?  I may get mine out this coming weekend!

I was really happy with it for the first time out. Next time I'll bring along my Russian to compare accuracy.
