Thanks for this quiz. Question #2 This got me reading and I wonder how close early Mausers are to newer still in production guns. Mauser is still in business and makes a bolt rifles, I am pretty sure I missed it and I own a 39. Sadness
If you have the space both range and parking look at what is involved in at getting a GSSF outdoor match. They draw a lot of entries and there used to be 5 within 2 hours now there is 1 within 2 hours and 3 within 3 hours.
Would hold your own 2 gun match. Make the rules harsh but fair
Make your backstop taller than you expect. Even with a pretty tall backstop I still saw ricochets in trees behind my range. U shaped and fairly wide helps. put a bench up at the entrance. My bench has been really handy to sit gear and ammo on. Also get a trash can.
