I finally got to take my project Garand out for a proper range day. 40 rds total, no malfunctions. It shoots great!
The rifle was on paper right off the get go. It turns out my fears about the barrel being crap were incorrect.
I started by shooting a 5 shot group off my backpack; it measured just under 2"! Next I fired an 8 shot group
with a sling, prone unsupported. This is the only target I remembered to keep. I was pretty happy about a 5 1/2"
group from that position. I adjusted the sights and moved on.

I then shot the rest of my ammo at my 12" plate. I shot @ 150, 200,(standing/sitting) and 300 yards(prone w/sling)
As long as I didn't get "slappy" with the trigger I got hits.

In closing I have to say that this is my favorite rifle to shoot in my collection. It runs like a top, has great sights, and gives
Instant feedback on steel.
Thanks for following along.
