The Sett Armoury: what is it missing ?

[DOGGER2UK]

I don't see 30-06 on your list Eddystone M17 or Springfield/Remington/Rock Island/Smith Corona maybe, all give you that recoil kick :lol:

+1 for a more world wide rather than european collection

Hm, we're thinking a Springfield, a MAS, maybe a Carcano, perhaps a Vetterli...

Dragunov?

There was one at the club open day yesterday - shot really well.

That's a surprise - I've heard nothing but bad news about them. That's added to the 2,000 beer tokens price!

Badger - Ross rifles are very nice! Accurate (the battle sights are set at 600 and 1000yds!), .303 and quite unusual!

Dragunovs look nice, but aren't they semi-auto ?

Dragunovs look nice, but aren't they semi-auto ?

They also come in the straight pull variety (like the UK AR straight pulls etc) - it was shooting sub MOA at 300 yesterday in a good wind!

Christel used to shoot one out to 1000, not sure she went beyond that. It was OK I suppose but not something I ever enjoyed shooting. She on the other hand really liked it.

Dragunovs look nice

They can also kick like a mule! Worst recoil I've felt in a straight pull - it had the plastic open stock so hardly any weight to it!

First shot I took with one was in a T Shirt with 180 semi AP. It certainly made me wince
