I set up today to test a new barrel/lock/extension combo. Set up 100yds away, stapled a B27 target up for fun and proceeded to test. Loaded a 100rd belt, lined it up on the B27, and held the trigger until the belt was empty. Everything worked fine. (Romanian 8mm ammo) To get things steaming I loaded a 150rd belt, gave the elevation one turn up, and held the trigger until the belt was gone.
The gun stayed solidly locked in place(swiss mount), but I could not see the target while shooting so I was hoping I was hitting it.
When I walked down to check the target it had 2 distinct holes in it. I guess I had no idea what to expect, but I wasnt expecting this.

That is impressive. I would not like to be on the receiving end.

The accuracy of the 08 is amazing. Try it at 400 yards. Easy to see why they issued optics with these guns. I can utterly destroy a 55 gallon drum at 400 yds from a sled. My vickers and 1917 will suprise you as well but the mounts have to be bagged to kerp them from dancing. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I just finished reading A Rifleman went to War. The author was a Machine Gunner, and what was covered in the book about MG tactics makes sense after seeing these groups.

Re: Check out these shot groups
"A Rifleman Went to War" is a great book that was, not sure if still is, a required reading for would-be snipers attending the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper School.
Prost!

Re: Check out these shot groups
Very nice! I wonder what I could get with an 08/15... probably nothing close.
