Milk Jugapolooza

[newchi]

Finally got the SVT out today, Milk jugs at 100ish and 170 ish yards.
It was a great start, the first shot hit the rim of the oil drum and took out two of the evil Milk Juggians.
The final long range one took a while.
170 ish

the 100ish stand

Oh, the milk juggery!

Stays nice??    In Texas, we call that a weather emergency!   

Only 94 in south TX the other day.

well its a toasty 34F here today
Mosin day started off well, but when i switched guns i couldn't hit squat, and then when i switched back i couldn't hit squat either.  Mosin days should only be 3 stripper clips then quit before your luck changes.

Sounds like fun.  34F isn't too bad, as long as it isn't windy.

Did one or both of the action bolts on your Mosin loosen up by chance  or was it just the eyes getting tired?

[newchi]

All of my mosin bolts work flawlessly.
I have heard of this myth on the interwebs that is can be sticky though.

[Phosphorus32]

  No, I meant the bolts between the receiver and the trigger guard that holds it firmly in the stock. They can loosen upon firing, thus affecting accuracy.

[newchi]

No, never had a problem with that.  Although i will have to check now you mentioned it. 
The worst I've had is not cleaning the magazine properly of cosmoline and having the latch suddenly open and dump everything out on the 2nd shot.
