"I fired my 1st M-1 Garand at age 14 on a 250 yd range at a military school and "qualified" with 6 of 10 in the "X" after but 20 practice rounds. On a range the weight should be considered an asset. I've even seen people using them afield (choked back to the legal 3 rounds) and doing very well on deer hog & elk - despite the great weight."

One quick story. A few years ago, I took my 12 year old son and went to a range to zero in my deer rifle, a 6 MM that I had bought off a friend. It was a 150 yard range. I fired three rounds, adjusting each one. Then fired 3 to determine that I had it zeroed in. All three hit the x, and you could not even see separate holes. The guy next to me had fired over 20 rounds, and his were all over the target. When we left, my son asked me why I did not get his adjusted too? Made me one proud poppa. Of course he had to tell everyone he knew. Ha!
