Our club is the nzda (new zealand deerstalkers association) probably the biggest club in nz at a guess. I've never actually seen anyone using volley sights. Us swede mauser guys wouldn't be to worried about an enfield shooter using peeps It would actually make the competition a bit closer

I think he is referring to the standard ramp sight as a volley sight? I can't imagine anybody trying to hit anything with volley sights.

Like i said its just casual shooting with a handful of like minded people so as long as its not scoped every thing is cool mind you we probably wouldn't mind if someone turned up with a genuine sniper rifle. Its all just fun there's no prizes until the end of the year I just look at it as the only one I'm competing with is myself
northdude wrote:those ww2 and earlier sniper rifles are a thing of beauty thought Id found myself a genuine swede sniper a little while ago but found out it wasnt a genuine one but was made up of all the proper bits I kind of kick myself for not buying it to this day. Ive got a nice m38 and no 3,4 and a 5 as well

I shoot SSAA Combined Services with the Military Rifle Club here in Victoria, we shoot a standard 3 position. 3 range comp 1st Sunday every month for "as issued" rifles comprising 5 prone at 300, 5 prone, 5 sitting at 200, 5 prone, 5 sitting and 5 standing at 100, all unsupported (no rests, just off the elbows) with time limits. As well as that we have a 10 shot speciality, either a rapid, snap or falling plate for specific rifles/carbines such as Swedish, Swiss, Jap, Martini, WW2 era, WW1 era etc. We also have Sniper Long Range (500, sometimes 1000) for CSD F1 pre-47 as issued or fair copy, CSD F2 post-47 as issued or fair copy and Tactcal/Development rifles which are basically any scoped rifle in an approved Military caliber. On 2nd Sundays we shoot Training rifle 3P for officially issued 22RF Trainers with a division for 310 Cadet. I use a Swiss K31 for main comps and my wife uses a Swede M38, I have a genuine Swede m/41 Sniper for F1 and an M82 for F2, the Mrs uses a Mosin PU (she's a Dally!) for F1 and an M82 with a replacement Shultz & Larsen heavy barrel. For Trainer I have an NZ issued No8 and a 310 Cadet the Mrs uses a Canadian Cooey and a Cadet. My current T/D is a Ruger 77 VT in 25-06 (a US Army trialled caliber, so it's on the approved list) and the Mrs a Ruger 77 VT in 243,. I used to shoot at Clevedon sometimes when I lived at Maraetai, Cheers
