Your curiousity and mine.  I went to the National Target Company and picked up a bundle of SR targets the other day so I could shoot to two hundred yards and have the proper target.

Turnbull will be returning my original front sight and an extra one that was made but was too short. So between the three of them I had a sight I can use.  I had to aim about four inches above the 12 for the rifle to shooting near the one inch black dot at fifty yards last Saturday.  So the next time out is will have to be at a hundred.  Maybe I can convince Annapolis to shoot it.  Also I was shooting to the right by an inch or so.   Lucky me I found out afterward there is windage adjustment in the rear sight.  It is friction held and is tight and stiff enough to hold its position.

So the problems as it stands is the carrier cam lever is not lifting the carrier cradle high enough for round four and five, the front sight height and a hundred pound trigger pull.  Yikes!

Stay tuned here from further developments

Camp Perry 2017 or bust.

Speaking of Camp Perry.  Can one shoot two rifles in the vintage match?
