Post by: gwilly on May 17, 2012, 09:34:07 PM: 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.

Post by: Mikee Loxxer on May 18, 2012, 08:32:48 AM: 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.
