Very nice guns sir. Thank you.

The outdoor range has opened. Saturday was a nice day, started sunny then a little overcast

The 25 m range on the bottom, the 50 m range on top, rimfire carbine on the left, pistol on the right

The 300 m rifle range on the right

Started with some .22lr warmup with the S&W 41

Then practice with the Sig P210-5

98

And 99. Would have liked to score 100, well maybe another day

Some wheel guns with wad cutters

S&W 27-3

S&W 66

CZ 75

And some antiques

Mauser Luger 1936. It has a 10 lbs trigger so it’s hard work

FN GP 35 1944

This one shoots all over, maybe the workers at the factory during the German occupation didn’t put their best effort in this one

In any case a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon

It is a great way to spend a Saturday!

Is the Luger trigger weight about norm for the breed?

I swear I learn something every time you post.

I am not very knowledgeable about Lugers, but from what I’ve read and heard from other owners’ experiences, I think it’s probably the norm.

On the other hand the Swiss made Lugers (Waffenfabrik Bern) have very nice triggers which makes them very accurate

A 1906 model from 1923

And a 1906/29 from 1934

Saturday was a busy shooting day

First, one club were I’m a member had a .22 lr morning session

On arrival we found out some member had just replaced the old rotten wood barrier, we still have to identify who did this beautiful job .

The shooters touch : a Sig P210 and a Swiss Luger carved in the barrier

I started with some casual steel plinking at 25 and 50 m

Then I tried some serious practice

S&W 17-6

AMT Lightning

S&W 41

Quick lunch break with a Swiss cheese fondue prepared by a Swiss member, this variation is with mushrooms

Then I drove a short 7 miles to another club where the afternoon was for shooting service pistols

SIG P210-6 in 9mm

Same model but in 7.65 mm

CZ 75 short rail from 1975

S&W 66 from 1972

HK P8

I was getting a bit tired and my groups became larger and shifted away

So I took a little rest by shooting 40 rounds of GP11 / 7.5 X 55 mm Swiss with my Stgw 57 / Sig 510-1 in the prone position at the 300 m range

Very cool guns! I only have one Swiss pistol---a SIG P210-2 9mm with a factory 22lr conversion unit---very difficult to obtain P210 22lr magazines here in the USA---fortunately, I have three...
As for rifles, I wish I had bought a SIG 550 223 rifle while they were for sale here in California---I had the money on hand to buy one, but a brand new FN FAL 308 was available and I choose to buy that instead (still have it!) thinking I could buy the 550 next, but they only brought in one batch and I missed out...!

It’s been a while since I updated this post, and I’ve shot quite a bit since then.

End July the indoor shooting range owner organised an outdoor 200 m shooting session in the countryside (it’s actually a military terrain).

There are paper targets as well as reactive “jockey” targets, in yellow

My comfy setup in the gravels

I decided to be reasonable and not haul too many weapons

M1 Carbine Underwood. I hadn’t shot this one past 50 meters yet. It was a joy to shoot and the jockeys were popping down easily, even standing.

SA M1A loaded. Same, 1st time at 200 meters, very accurate with open sights although on the heavy side when standing

Colt AR-15 SP1 with original scope, a regular feature, light, easy and accurate

Colt M4 with an ACOG, first time out at 200 meters also. Easy and trouble-free

Ruger 10/22 target. First time shooting at 200 meters with any .22 lr. Worked surprisingly well.

And a couple of handguns, Manurhin MR73 .357 magnum and SIG P210-6 .30 Luger. That was hard work, I’d say I recorded a 40-60% hit rate only.

This target is a mix of M1A / .308 and Ruger .22

This one was rapid fire with the Ruger once I had the correct holdover for 200 meters (rifle is sighted in for 50 meters)

This bloke had a wild muzzle break on his AR

Another fun Saturday morning.

**OLIAR15** · 09-01-21, 09:41

Exactly a week later I went to the 300 m range. Again I tried to be reasonable and only brought four rifles, two scoped and two open sighted

Remington 700 SPS tactical
Springfield Armory M1A loaded
Colt AR-15A2 Gvt model
Colt AR-15A2 Delta Hbar

The setting

Foreground is 50 meters (pistol and .22 lr competition rifle), background 300 meters
