1917 will NOT be making it to Butner

Got the rifle back today.... Going to hit the range tomorrow with it. It's been so long - which end do I point downrange again?

Dont forget your bolt

So Franco told me that battle sight might print a little high at 200.

Here is a 100 yard SR1 in prone.

I did some offhand too

I drifted the front sight over a c*** hair after the slow prone. It seems like Franco was right, I will probably have to leave a sliver of white at 200.

Why not use the flip up sight?

It's easy to hit the flip up sight with your hand in the rapids, plus it's so close to your face you can't wear a brimmed hat. The battle sight is just what I am used to on every other rifle, too.

Oh stop, ditch the hat and shoot lefty. Problem solved.
