Vintage Military Rifle and 22 CMP Sporter at Ikes
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:15:29 AM »
Its that time of the month again. Matches at Lincoln Ikes start at 8:00 AM with sight in for the VMRM and the 22 CMP Sporter to follow around noon. Hey it might not even rain this time! Hope to see you there. As usual if you are new check out the Ikes updated web site for information on the shoots and directions to the range.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I loaded up a bunch of 7.62x54R tonight, so this time I can bring the Finn and hopefully redeem my poor showing with the Enfield last time.  It's funny how the Enfield is actually a more accurate rifle but I just don't shoot it as well.

My son & I showed up at last month's Vintage Military Rifle match at the Lincoln Ikes & we had a great time!
We didn't get to meet everybody but those that we did were more than helpful & welcomed us to the event.
We're not able to make it this month :( but certainly plan to return this summer for another go around.
The toughest decision is which Finn to bring along 8)

Hope y'all have a fun & safe time!!

Is that Swiss Match open to any surplus rifle or just Swiss ones? 

We only shoot at 75 meters, but on reduced size targets.

If anyone is interested in shooting either the vintage match or the .22 CMP let me know.  I have loaner rifles, you bring the ammo and you can shoot my gun.  I think I have one of my .22's already spoken for, but there's one left, and I think Jesse will have some loaners too.

It it open to Swiss rifles. This could be a SIG 556, K31, 1911, and theoretically even a vetterli. The matches are essentially postal matches sanctioned by the SSV.
