    Default Took my Swiss Vetterli to the range today.

    Took the Vetterli to the range today. I only had 8 rounds but I was just checking to see if it functioned properly
    All went well. Now time to make up a bunch of 41 Swiss ammo.

    Big iron sight fan here! How were you hitting (on the paper plate)?

    Not well. I was shooting at 50yds and it was far left and high. Once I make some more rounds I'll adjust the sights and post pics of the groups

    I don't know. It was done years ago. Long before I got it.

    GUNS magazine puts out 3 or 4 special SURPLUS FIREARMS editions a year and one of the recent editions had the full history of the Vetterli , including RF to CF conversions and sporterized rifles.
