<<I got to fire a Garand once, I dunno if it was a Winchester or not. That's a no-joke rifle. With a good scope it would be lethal for what.... a mile, you suppose?>> I believe an '06 will carry 2 1/2 miles if fired at the right angle. At Camp Perry they shoot the Garands on the 1,000 yard range with peep sights. The bull's eye is 3 feet across. No rests and they do it standing up. That takes a real shooter. <<Notice how the gunbanners haven't fixated on Garands, they have wood stocks and no handgrips. >> It would be tough to hide a Garand in your pants and rob a liquor store. Matter of fact it would be tough to do anything with a Garand in your pants.
