Iron sight shooting seems to be a dying art. this was shot by me at our last benchrest match.
This match consisted of 50 rds of scoped rifle on an IBS target and 40 rds of Iron sights on NRA target. all shots at 50 yards. The winds varied from 4-8 MPH from 8 o'clock.
The rifle is a factory stock Savage-Anschutz 64 match rifle made in 1968. only thing added was the bag adaptor.
The ammo was Eley semi-auto benchrest precision.
I am now going to admit, I do not shoot scopes well. Eye Fatigue sets in too quickly when using a scope especially over 24 power with me.
And a hint, if you have an Anschutz that does not group well, Change the firing pin spring! it did wonders on this rifle along with an Abschutz 64P pistol.
