I was shooting German surplus ammunition out of my PTR 91, GI model rifle, off of a table with my ammo box/airsoft BB sock gun-rest. Irons sights; no scope. The targets are shown in the order that I shot them. I started off with 12” x 18” targets (turned sideways, so really 18” x 12”) at 200...

I’ve been spending a lot of time shooting my rifle recently. However, my pistol (Sig P229 with XS Big Dot sights) finally got a little love yesterday. I started at 3 – 4 yds. The red silhouette (hostage) on the target is 12.25” wide by 16” tall; the black silhouettes (bad guys) are only...

I stopped at the near-by public gun range on the way to the office on Friday. I wanted to double-check my windage, and work a little on what I call “staying on the target.” The rifle: PTR 91, GI model. The ammunition: German surplus. I set the target backer at 25 yds, and shot everything...

This was my first time shooting beyond 100 yds since I installed an HK 1200 meter rear sight onto my PTR 91, GI model. All the shooting was done off of a table with my ammo box/airsoft BB sock rest. Below are the highlights. The rifle: The ammunition: I call it German surplus. I put what...

Sub MOA with Wolf Polyformance Ammunition Does this count? These were my first three shots, one after the other, at 30 meters. I was shooting Wolf Polyformance steel-cased ammunition out of my PTR 91, GI model, using iron sights.

Some of you may have read my thread about going to the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park, but then not being allowed to shoot at the 600 yd target, because the iron sights on my PTR 91 only went up to 400 meters. After that, I posted a thread about trying to mount my budget scope, with a budget...

I don’t know if the problem was me, the rifle (PTR 91, GI model), the UTG MP5 bi-directional low profile picatinny mount, the UTG 3-9X32 BugBuster Scope, the ammunition (PPU), or some combination thereof. However, I spent way too much time and ammunition Monday afternoon trying to zero in the...

It looks something like this: 12 loaded 20-round G3 magazines (in 4-pocket bandoliers) in each 50 cal. box. 12 20-round boxes of ammo in each 30 cal. box. One 200 round battle bag (10 20-round boxes).

I started a project of storing G3 mags of ammo in 4-pocket bandoliers in regular 50 cal. cans. One can will hold three bandoliers, which holds 12 magazines and 240 rounds of .308 or 7.62x51 ammunition. I filled the two regular 50 cal. cans I had, but wanted to get a third. I ordered a single...

The rifle (iron sights; no scope): The ammunition (Surplus, MEN16, Wolf): This set of photos is me trying to hit the 100 yd target. I’m standing and shooting offhand. First with the Surplus ammo, then the MEN16; five rounds each. This set is me trying to hit the 200 yd target. I’m...

I took USGI m16/m4 four-pocket cloth bandoliers, pulled the string thing to expand the pockets (too shallow to hold the mags with it), and then took them to a local seamstress to have the bottom folded up a little and double-stitched (too deep for my taste without it). A regular 50 cal. ammo...

It’s a really cool place! Here’s their website: http://thecmp.org/competitions/talladega-marksmanship-park/ A new shooting buddy and I make the approximately five-hour round-trip to the park and really enjoyed ourselves. I shot four different brands of ammunition through my PTR 91, GI...

I went to the local gun store on my side of town looking for rifle ammunition. When I got there I saw that they were in the final stages of a moving out sale. They didn't have any rifle ammo in my caliber, but as I looked around, I found their last two P229-1 E2 9mm 15RD magazines. I bought...

I tried out some of my MEN16 ammunition at the range on Friday. The rifle (as always) was a PTR 91, GI model. I started off shooting off of a table with a rest. Iron sights; no scope. I put Mr. Bones targets at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yds (that’s a dime in the photo). I shot two rotations...

Earlier this week, I went to my nearby 100 yd public range to set my POA at 6:00, at 30 meters, with my iron sights. Today I went to the gun club to see how I could do at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yds. Everything was shot off of a table using my ammo box/airsoft bb sock gun rest. Here’s the...

I have a PTR 91, GI model rifle (.308 win/7.62 x 51). It has the HK style, four-position, rotating rear drum sight, and a hooded front post (blade actually). Until yesterday, my sight picture, through a process of mostly trial and error, was to cover the POI with the upper part of the front...

Actually, I’ve never shot at those distances with a scoped rifle either, but I digress. I’d been looking around for someplace to shoot past 100 yds for a few weeks. Today I visited, and joined, a gun and archery club that’s about an hour and a half (one-way) away. I wish it was closer, but...

The rifle was a PTR 91, GI model; the ammunition was Wolf Polyformance steel-cased. I shot off of a table with a gun rest. Iron sights only; no scope. The 1st target is at 25 yds. The squares are 1”, so the bulls-eye has a 2” diameter. I made a windage adjustment to move the POI...

Even though it is in need of some serious trimming, I finally got the opportunity to shoot on my friend’s 200 yd line. His table is set up for right-handed shooters, but I shoot a rifle lefty. So, I had to sit on the left side of the extension and lean forward, and to my right, to get both...
