Subdeacon Joe Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 22 cailber? Yep. Originally was done with service rifles, .22s became the standard in the late 70s.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Those ain't cowboy guns.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Those rifles start at 4 grand and go UP!! Coffinmaker
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I can do that, too. I can prove it.
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Years ago, i did some events with US summer Biathalon. Being unsponsored and entry level in the circuit, i ended up shooting a Marlin Model 2000, as did many of the newbs. Sure wish I still had one of those.
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Wish they'd go back to the Mosin-Nagants, just like when Simo Häyhä waxed the Soviets in the '39-'40 Winter Games.
Matthew Duncan Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Yep. Originally was done with service rifles, .22s became the standard in the late 70s. OK. What caliber for the adults?
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Anyone who can ski that distance, at that elevation, and ding the bullseye -- even if it is with a wimpy measley little .22 -- has my respect and my admiration!
