OK, so I confess.<\/p>\n

No, no I didn’t garrote the Roads commissioner in Indiana as I had fantasized about, nothing that fun. <\/p>\n

Mostly, my confession is about this:
\n\"241.jpg\"<\/p>\n

See, I bought this nearly a year ago. I love the rifle, it’s sweet as can be. it’s a Remington 241, A Speedmaster automatic. I absolutely love the way it looks and handles. <\/p>\n

I just can’t shoot it worth a damn.<\/p>\n

Oh, it’s clean and the bore is bright; with a sandbag I can make 1\/2″ groups at 50 yards all day. It’s not the rifle, it’s me. <\/p>\n

I shot and shot and shot, and I could not even put holes in the black of an A-36 to save my life, at 50 feet. <\/p>\n

So I hadda pull this out.

I managed to get this rifle to do things I could never get the Remington to do, and it flatly pisses me off. <\/p>\n

See, it’s not about how nice a rifle is, how much it costs, what the reviews said. it’s about how well you can get the bullet to go where you want it to go. <\/p>\n

The Cugir training rifle is a damned nice rifle, if crudely finished; it shoots straight, and has an unusual drop to the stock, which fits my shoulder nicely- I begin to understand what Kim Gun Guy sees in those “hogback” rifles from BRNO. <\/p>\n

Anyway, instead of being able to say I shot those postal match targets with my very nice Remington 241, I have to say I used a $59 romanian training rifle. <\/p>\n

Keep them in the X ring, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
