I finished the new shooting bench save the seat and had to try it out naturally. I selected my 1943 Waffen-Werke Brünn AG KAR 98 Russian Capture for the christening heretofor unfired.....by me at least! I'll let the pictures tell the happy story! PS., no more excuses!! Regards, Rick.

Hmmm were you watching over my shoulder? as I just said I look forward tothe range report and low and behold there it is .

Ahhhh may I suggest one little addition?

  Looking at the  first photo I noticed your A/C unit just the the right rear of your new shooting platform and bench, well it looks ideally place to catch stray brass :undecided:  perhaps a little bit of netting or even a board shield might be good.

  Ohhhhhh it's accurate enough but I just don't seem to get on well with those sights  must be too used to the British style so no I would not but only for that reason.

Rick you have one nice Ol' 98, yep I would take it deer hunting in a heavy wooded area.........done a good job on ya bench....Ron

Nice shootin', expecially with open sights. I'm intrigued by the group especially because it's with 150s. I've never been able to get anything under 175 to shoot well (better than ~2") from any of my military 8x57s.

My experience with them is that they either love them or hate them.....I have no clue as to why. One thing for sure is that they all seem to like the flat base Sierras. The bore in the dou is dark and about 1/2 worn out.....go figure! The Yugo K98 shot 4 inch groups with the same identical load and has a much nicer bore. Regards, Rick.

Uh, yeah!! Looks like venison in the freezer to me.
 
And I thought I was thony one who shot from the deck. I just use the picnic table though. Looks like the bench is a pretty permanent fixture. I don't think I could get awa with that. Unless I could pass it off asnother picnic table.
 
Cool pictures and nice group by the by Rick
