Usmc m40

[nf1e]

Had a chance to shoot a USMC M40 last week after mounting a refurbished scope for the owner. Nice tool. 1/4 to 1/2" repeatable groups at 100yds. Owner took this photo of me sighting it in.

Nice old iron and wood in that picture. The shooter passes muster to.

I liked the way the scope tracked so well, I have one for a project of my own.

Some details please, repo or org, wish I was still in newtown maybe we could do some shooting.

Scope was original refurbished on a reproduction M40 Rem. I just got in a Hi Lux reproduction for myself and it seems to be darn near perfect for my use. Some things are improved over the originals.

A fun gun to shoot...

I found the Redfield a little limiting though and changed to a Weaver...

The Hi-lux repro that I received seems to track very well. Optic are clear it works very well. Not the type of optic I am used to , but for a repro not bad at all.
They are all fun.

That rifle is My first large bore bolt gun. Since I took that pic, Art and I have attempted to sight in my M40A1 Clone with another vintage Redfield Acu-Range only in black, but, it turned out that the scope adjustments needed repair so I Sent it to Iron Sight Inc to be rebuilt. In the meantime, I've been working on a M40A3 build.

Picked up a SSA M40 several years ago for $1K and bought the Redfield Scope for it ($500.00). Had my gunsmith work the trigger for me. Had another friend tailor ammo for me. Was getting 1 inch groups at 200 yards off a rest. Then I traded it for a Winchester Model 52E. There are times when I wish I still had it, but I get more use out of the 52E.

[lyman]

was that a tombstone Redfield or a later moder (like an ART)??

[nf1e]

Tombstone. Sure hope Hawk brings it back again. I love shooting other's rifles.

[Hawk]

I'll bring it up next time I visit. I really enjoy shooting that rifle. Will also bring my M40A3 so we can see if changing out the bolt guts fixes those FTFs from last time.

I love the style of the shooting. It's really scope tracked well and the earplugs that you wear so amazing.
