Impromptu Shoot at Angeles Range in California November 23rd Pics added

Post by CowboyTutt »

Hey all, short notice, was trying to find a good place to shoot. The Los Angeles range appears to be the last best place for us to shoot in L.A. county, I think to 600 yards IIRC.

Jim Williamson and myself will be there no matter what with our 71/84 Mausers and my 1942 Enfield to try out.

Anyone is welcome if they can attend and have some ammo! Thank you!

Thanks, but I'd have to start driving right now to make it (up I-75 then over on I-10). I do still need to regulate the last two leaves of my sight on the 450 Alaskan for 150 and 250yds. Some day.

Give my best to Jim. I've not shot one of those Mausers since I shot his back in '09 at Raton. At THINK that's the year I lobbed some lead from it at the Banana Rock. What a hoot of a rifle! Wish I could make it, but it's a bit far to drive right now.

OK, pics from the day as asked. First off, and for the first time in my life with Jim W, his back hurt too much to shoot from standing, which is totally out of character for the man. Secondly, I have also lost some of my off-hand shooting ability, so I also shot from a resting position from 200 to 400 yards with my Mauser and my Enfield. I have new shooting glasses that allow me to see the front sight on my Mauser, but it still makes it hard to see the long range target as to it's shape and size. But if you can't see the front sight anymore, the game is over I think. I guess I am aging out, but not giving up just yet.

Here are some great pictures of the day. It was sunny and warm, the climate down here is always amazing to me. And it was again today. Some noteworthy pics:

Jim spent the better part of the day teaching anyone available, including L.A. Shooting range staff, and our local bench rest buddy's, how to shoot a 71/84 Mauser with iron sights with the traditional 400 grain bullet and load using smokeless at 1400 fps. Here's a pic of him shooting aside our new friend David, who is quite the hoot!

Image

David shooting my customized 45 caliber Sam Yang with a power tune from Will Piatt. It shoots a 200 grain HP bullet at about 800 fps, not too shabby for an airgun!

Image

Lastly, me shooting my Savage made 1942 Enfield with my custom, slowed down, 215 grain load at 1600 fps in preparation until my heavy weight 249 grain bullet is ready.

Some pics of my "ultra long range" shooting stem for the Enfield as I received it that same time. It's a Jim Kelly unit, cost me quite a lot!!! It's minimum range is probably 1200 yards with Randy Arnts spacer/adapter and was not suitable for that day's shoot. It will be appropriate for the Friend's of Billy Dixon range at 1538 and beyond and why I have paid so much for the upgrades!

Work in progress to be sure....

That new sight is pretty cool! Looking forward to see how it does with the new bullet and extended ranges.
