Vintage Sniper rifle shoot

[Miller Tyme]

Spent this past weekend in Paris Tenn. attending the Henry County Gun Club Vintage Sniper Rifle World Championship. Had 15 teams shoot 6 different target packages 3 of which where either timed or speed packages. Spent Friday practicing with my partner and trying to dial in his new PU sniper without luck ( scope issues) so he used my back-up SOV and I shot my ZFK. While we didn't finish in the near the top we did enjoy our selves and afterwards got to run a few rounds through a PKM and a Solothern 20mm anti tank rifle.

And I even came home with another toy, a virtually NIB 1986 Steyr SSG69 w/ Kahles ZF84 scope

Looks fun.
And having fun is kind of the object. Though winning is also nice.

I need to get out of the house more.

The group picture looked like a bunch of (happy) desperadoes.

That Steyr is to die for. Seriously jelly.

Great photos, and looks like a very fun time.

Holy crap I just realized Rob Ski of AKOU fame is in the group pic. Hands down my favorite guntuber and Kalashnikov authority ... would love to meet that guy!

Yep, Rob was there, and brought his 14 yr old daughter who is a great shot also.

Looks like a fantastic time. Back when I had all of my sniper rifles didn’t see big shoots like that….. they were a lot of fun though!!!

It is a great time, there is a smaller shoot in Bowling Green KY in November, and a monthly shoot in Paris, Tn at the Henry County Gun Club. I will look up the info and post it up this evening.

Looks cool. Do the scopes also have to be vintage?

They can be new reproductions of vintage scopes, but with the exception of the Unertl 8x scope on the 1903/41 they where all 4x and less
