Old School Target

[LAH]

This target is older than some here. Notice the writing on the target as it gives hint to who fired it. Who was the shooter?

 

[Mike Irwin]

Finn Aagard?

 

[Sevens]

Frank Pachmayr?!

 

[LAH]

Both very good guess' but no cigar.

 

[mavracer]

Elmer Keith

 

[MrBorland]

Lessee...75gr 4350 over a 300gr bullet...guessing a .375H&H. I'm very tempted to say Elmer Keith, but since mavracer beat me to it, I'll go with Jack O'Connor.

A 300 grain Sierra Boat Tail, I would guess Roy Wheatherby.

Pochahontas? Either my eyes read it as Pocahontas. JK, looks like Pachymer.

 

[Jim243]

Pochahontas?

No that would have to be John Standish, Pocahontas was a peacenick. (LOL)

[Mosin-Marauder]

No that would have to be John Standish...

But what if it was from Prone or Sitting?

 

[LAH]

We have a correct answer but first here's the rifle.

The picture of the rifle & the target was mailed in this envelope

This must have some historical significance for you to be stringing us along like this. If it ends up being some competition shooter's rifle I have to say, I'm going to be rather let down. It's a beautiful rifle. But of what significance is it? No offense.

 

[LAH]

Just some of my old stuff. Frank built that rifle on a Pre-64 Winchester action for Mr. Keith. You can read about it in his books. He sent me the target & picture sometime in the early 70s. Thought you guys might enjoy trying to figure it out. The rifle is simply beautiful.

 

[reynolds357]

I have seen pictures of that rifle somewhere.

 

[Mosin-Marauder]

Wow.

That rifle is absolutely beautiful. The more I look at I see new things on it. I wonder why the off set scope mount though?

 

[LAH]

Mr. Keith was old school & liked to roll that scope out the way when need be.

 

[Molasses]

I have seen pictures of that rifle somewhere.

I'm pretty sure I've still got an old Guns & Ammo with it on the cover.

I'm pretty sure I've still got an old Guns & Ammo with it on the cover.

Have one here somewhere myself.

 

[Mosin-Marauder]

That's a Remington 700 correct? Or is it a Model 70?
