Default Re: My mistress, Lady Garand

I'll definitely post some pics when I get a chance.

Hit the range today to sight her in. Man oh man. What a beautiful rifle she is to shoot.

I like the Springfields better than H&R, but that's just because I'm a traditionalist at heart. I've heard good things about each.

Paid $845 out the door--about $200 more than I would have paid for a Service Grade from CMP. I'd say she's a bit nicer than the pictures of SG rifles I've seen coming out of the CMP lately. And since I didn't have to TOTALLY degunk gobs of cosmoline out of the wood and metal like folks do from the CMP, I'd say the time savings was worth the extra couple hundred to me.
