Damn good idea. Kinda tough trying to remember all the POI's for every rifle I own.
I’m using this thread to document my POA vs POI 
Notice how i’m Shooting two targets per rifle for my entries? First one to find my hold and second one for the money shots!
Though I think the match proprietor just out scored me with an open sight rifle from the comm block, so I got some more practice to do.

Same for me; practice on the left, score on the right.

My MA range restricts you to one target per holder at a time so I've been using the steel plates to make sure I'm "in the ballpark" and then proceeding to my target. Thus the first five on my K98 being a bit awry before dialing it in a bit.I’m using this thread to document my POA vs POI

Also doesn't help to have to run two hundred yards to verify the hits on the target.

Finn = comm block? Mr. White Death himself takes exception and reminds you of his score vs. the commies:
So print two SR1 centers on a single large sheet of paper and shoot at 100? Strange rule and I'd have a problem with that or them with me- for my scoped bolt guns I will often put multiple small target stickers on a clean backer for distances as far as 300 yards.

No spotting scope?

Check the bottom of the receiver for the born on date
I've put multiples when shooting at my NH club and I think I might just do it. It's literally printer paper and lighter than most heavier cardboardesque targets. Considering the MSP trooper that flagged me on Friday, I'd say putting two paper targets on one frame is the lesser of two evils.
I only remember it about 50% of the time and the times that I do remember it, not always very helpful since I tend to be shooting late afternoon and it's not very bright to begin with. The hill behind the targets is nearly black (dirt) so with a black target like the SR1, the hits are kind of hard to detect sometimes.
Got a cheap $30 60x scope on sale. It's not great, but I can see the individual hits at 100.

I finally successfully purchased one of these (just under $53 and well worth the price)...so once I rotate through the order, I'll be coming back to the big boy Mosins again
Cool , when you get them post a report. My mosin does not tickle me enough to spend any more time or money on it. Did the Finn trigger up grade. Made my own custom front sight for cast loads and I’m done
P38 79/1x.
Next Up p38

Crud, I just got back from shooting my SAA clone, and it didn't dawn on me that it technically could have qualified for the pistol division. Maybe next week. Tomorrow, barring any complications (lack of snow, crowded range, etc.), will be Lee Enfield day. I did up 20 rounds with CFE223 and I have twenty rounds with Accurate 2495.
Get well soon! Glad we added pistols...
Yep- that's a milsurp clone. I plan on doing a SAA (Northern Aggressors
) vs. Navy (Rebels) shoot and will post how well I do (or don't do).
Target 1 - 73
Target 2 - 90
Got out after work today with the Winchester M1917 and some Nosler factory ammo I basically bought for the brass. It was reading 34 in Westborough when I left work, but by the time I was actually shooting it was at 32 on the nipple!
Phew...just made it!
This rifle I bought when the stars aligned last spring and somehow this almost all Winchester beauty with an amazing original barrel found its way into my safe.
I sprinted down to the 100 and set up my target...rolled out my mat and chose a sling setting that just so happened to be correct for tension and away I went!
Shooting a little bit high, as expected using the battlesight. Bonus is, I might not be too far off for the 200 yard matches at Pembroke if I find my hold.
Adjust fire, thumb screw, high pocket of the shoulder, reach for the sky, high/firm pistol grip, slow steady squeeze, sight alignment/sight picture...breathe
while not perfect, I knew I pulled a shot. with that one exception, this is one of the better groups i've ever had from any milsurp in my safe!
If I could JUST get them all in that 10 ring, this might be a seriously good competitor for vintage this year!
IT...not me :/

Good shooting! FWIW, my Winchester 1917 shoots to point of aim at 100 yards with the rear sight flipped up and the slider set to 200 yards...but, as always, your mileage may vary.
Mine shoots well to POA with the leaf/slider as well, but a little guinea told me to try and get my battlesight working for the 200 yard line if I want my rifle to compete. The leaf sight is definitely necessary for ‘reaching out’, but I think for repeatable shots, it might be better to stick to the battlesight zero for the 200yd CMP matches.

You absolutely can get your battle sight zeroed for 200. Used to be able to find the M1917 front sight sets with different hieghts. Aprox .008" change in sight height is 1 moa-ish.
Although when using the battle sight you loose any chance of adjustment. Sure you can hold over/under too. Add to this , if you "zero" your battle aoerture for 200 you will loose that almost perfect zero you have now for 200 with what ever setting you shot the above group with.
Are you going to try and fill the rear aperture with JB weld and drill a smaller hole? Sadly i cant see clearly through much smaller than .055" . Im actually afraid to pull out my service rifle AR it has . 040" rear peep. Just dawned on my that upper has not been out in 4 years come april. Have to get to reading this year.
Those M1917s battle zero sight was for 400 yards with M1ball 174 grain ammo at around 2650fps.
Figure out a load you like and go from there.

I think i’ll be pretty close as is, and both the battle and the leaf sight already have the JB weld in them. I was trying to tweak at CMP Talladega a few weeks ago by reaming the holes out little by little with torch tip cleaners.
I accidentally may have gone a little too far with the reaming, but i can always do it again down the road if need be. The important part is that my windage seems to be dead nuts right now, whereas before My rounds were impacting left fairly consistently.
I just need to work up some loads with 155’s and get someplace that I can reach out to 200yds for testing.
