Title: My gaudy Garand
Post by madsenshooter on Mar 5th, 2019 at 7:50pm
Here's a few pics of a project I been working on, scoping my Garand.  I plan to shoot it in the unlimited class at Camp Perry this year.  I can barely hold it up, and not for long!  Scope is a 4X Tasco Pro-Class pistol scope, made in Japan.  Fine tapered crosshair with dot reticle, 1/4 minute target adjustments.  It is very heavily built.  Can't wait to give it a try, supposed to be warmer later in the week, I'll get my annual range permit from ODNR  today.  The scope just barely works for me and one set of glasses I got from the VA.  I've another set of rings coming that will get the scope about 1/8-3/16" further forward that'll help get the eye relief right for me.   Cheap 3-7 variables with less eye relief work better, but the limit on a variable is 4.5x!  I found a gas lock nut on ebay that allows one to use AR15 30 caliber muzzle devices and I happened to have one to try.  Looks a bit tidier than my repro pronged flash hider.
