The M1903 as a Close Combat Weapon

My last competition M1903

I could go through the procedures that I used but I doubt that anyone is still using M1903' competitively so it would be pointless. This is not a standard M1903 but has many upgrades. I have used it out to and including 1000 yards. I later switched to M70 (30-06 & 7.62), Remington M722 (7.62), Remington 30 S (30-06 and 300 H&H )
FWIW

Mike Venturino wrote an article about running the course at Clint Smith's Thunder Ranch with a '73 Winchester in .38-40. He simply filled the cargo pockets of his shorts with ammo, and at every lull would stuff a few rounds into the magazine. He smoked the guys with AR 15s.

when I competed a gent would drive up from Lynchburg (RIP) and shoot with us at RRPC,

he had a very similar rifle, and did very well with it
