How about a new Postal Match? - The Firearms Forum

Category: 1.) Unaltered Finnish sporters at least 35 years old; 2.) Scope of your choice; 3.) FMJ .30-06 ammo (M2 ball) at least 45 years old; 4.) From the bench at 200 yards (supported); 5.) Three shot groups at any standard target.

Aw shucks, it looks like I win.

OK, Ok! So I rigged the competition a little. I just felt like braggin' on my Sako Finnbear (circa 1965). I was shooting Yugo ball ammo with a 1958 headstamp and finetuning my scope zero. Holy cow! This stick can shoot!

I haven't even gotten around to bedding the action yet.

I'd like to join ya Wuzzagrunt, but I have a few problems with the rules......

#1- I've yet to buy a rifle....(although I may have a Springfield M1A in a week or so)

#2- it'll shoot .308, not .30-06......(but they are close)

#3- the shooting range I belong to only has a 100 yard rifle range........(so I'd have to make them 6 shot groups to equal 3 shots at 200 yards)

Can I still play.....?

wuzzagrunt. Does it have to be a Fin sporter or just 30-06...

Welllllllllll, I thought it would be somewhat crass to just come out and say: "Look at what my reasonably priced, used rifle can do--neener, neener, neener! "

But, that's what I was really thinking.

Hey, if ya got a standard sporter that can shoot .4 MOA (give or take), with M2 Ball, bring it on!

This has to be one of the sneakiest bragging post to date.
Good one.
