Thanks y'all! I've really got the itch to shoot this rifle. For the time being I've got a 6 x24 42mm BSA Mildot to put on it. I've had the scope for several years and never had a use for it. I figure it will probably not hold up but it's a place to start. When it goes I'll add some good glass to it. I've got a pair of Millet rings due in Tuesday, and I'll be on the road until Friday anyway, so hopefully by the time I get back, the range will have dried out enough to be able to give it a run. I've always thought that long distance shooting was fun. I haven't really done much of it since I got out of the service in '72. Now I'm an old guy with glasses and stiff joints. LOL. I'm not expecting miracles but I'm going to have fun anyway. Thanks for the tips on the loads. I do reload so building a load for this gun should be fun also.
