[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3840292, member: 15054"] And a Swede. I finally shot a 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser. I picked up from [USER=27673]@Hangfire[/USER] and he tossed in some factory ammo. I know what bad eyesight is all about blurry sights or blurry target you pick which one it will be. I shot iron sights and off the top of my car yesterday 100°F My first 2 I shot at 200 yards and I actually hit the paper target. I then went to 100 yards and I figured it should get much better but one went way high and left. Then 2 shots at 50 yards went closer to the center. The 2 lower holes are 200 yards. I did not move the rear sight I shot it just the way I picked it up from [USER=27673]@Hangfire[/USER] And aimed where I thought should put some holes in paper. Recoil was like a starting load for an 87 gr .243. Very mild. I am no good with iron sights at this moment but it has been decades since I used Irons on a rifle. I did not like them so much then either. Here is the sad target. [ATTACH type="full"]295206[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
