Shot the Springfield match with an original 03 with it's '28 barrel. Went 93-2 and 92-0, then got to standing and had a brain fart 64-0 including 1 big MISS at the top of the screen.
That slab of wood just gave me some wood....awesome find!I checked in today and was admiring the field grade Winchesters on the sale table right as they were closing. I started looking at the welded drill rifles and there was one that was so dirty, it was nearly black. But it appeared to be a birch stock with some figure underneath. It was so filthy and rusty (and a drill rifle) that I was gonna pass on it, but they kept badgering me about it and finally talked me into buying it. I am mighty glad they did.
It had a decent SA trigger group and an uncut WW2 SA op-rod inside. But the best part was that when I got home, I cleaned the grease and crud off of that dirty black stock and found this underneath:

I use a Creedmoor hardback, but noticed very few of them around me last week. So few that I went and checked the rule on "hardback" coats, lol. I had one of the range officers take a funny look at mine after my 2nd relay when I took it off and stood it up on end. It`s 4 yrs old and I take care not to crease the back.
It helped my standing scores a ton when I got it. I just had to get used to cinching it up so tight I could hardly breathe
Yep..I finally bought a Creedmoor hardback...my offhand scores went up about 5-6 points...now I have to learn to not take the shit shots!I was amazed at the difference in stability when I dumped the tennis shoes and got a stiff pair of combat boots and laced them up tight.
That is absolutely insane. Nice score.I rubbed in a few coats of B.L.O. and rubbed in a few coats of Tom's Mix over top. The stock looks very good, but not "candy".

I also slapped on a set of late lockbars for shits and giggles.
