My "new" HRA M1 Garand showed up on my doorstep last week. Finally got to take it out for a test today.
This is a field grade but don't let that fool you. This baby looks like its gonna be a shooter...see target below. 
Center circle = 1in. HXP 78 ammo: took only one clip to tighten up the pattern... the tripod group near the center was the last 3 rounds in the clip. |

Looks like a nice rifle and your zero is coming in nicely! |

$495 +shipping from CMP Wow. That's not bad at all. How do you like the condition it is in? IE...seems like an awfully good deal. Is the rifle in better than you expected condition? Mechanically it functions like a brand new rifle. The wood has a few marks but gives it nice weathered look. Very happy with it !! |
