Pre Tropical Storm Beryl range session today. The approaching storm kept things cool which was very nice! From left to right, Remington 700 Tactical chambered in 300BLK, Ruger Precision Rimfire in .22WRM with my Silencerco Sparrow on the end, my Aero Precision 16” AR-15 chambered in 300BLK with my AAC 7.62SD on the end, my 1901 Steyr M95 chambered in 8x50R, my 1944 Enfield No4 Mk1 in .303 British, my 1926 SMLE Iraqi marked Lee Enfield No1 Mk3* in .303 British, and my parts bin AR15 pistol with a Noveske lower and a Ballistic Advantage 300BLK 10” barrel with my AAC 762SDN6 on the end.
The Steyr M95 is over 120 years old and it was the first time I was firing it which made me a bit nervous. I am happy to report everything went smoothly and the bullets didn’t tumble despite the barrel looking questionable. All the modern rifles were shot with suppressors on the end which allowed me to not wear ear protection for a good chunk of the time. The most accurate gun was the Ruger Precision Rimfire, that is a fantastic varmint gun - accurate and quiet. And as always, I had the most fun with the Enfields. It was nice to shoot them back to back and in my experience, the No4’s are definitely more accurate. Huzzah!
I hadn’t been out to the range in a while, it was very relaxing. It’s sort of a Zen thing for me and I need to go more often.
