Nice looking group, ive stopped buying Garands, i slimmed my group down to 14, 2 win.1 ihc, and the rest HRA and SA ive got enough wood and parts to put a couple together, if i can stop buying handguns i may get a couple BR's from CMP and finish out my Garand hoard,,

Thanks Mike.I had stopped buying Garands for a while and was full force into M14 clones,I even sold a few M1's to fund M14 builds but realized My true love is the M1.When funds allow I'll need a representitive HRA,and IHC,and then of course I'll need another to have 3 stacks ;)

Nice looking Garands.

You guys with multiple stock, ie non match prepped, Garands I have a question. Shooting them all, what are your average groups at 100 yards.

Your best shooter, and your worst shooter.

My best shooter is a Mixmaster I built(not match prepped).I shot an 8 shot group with it before at 1 7/8" @ 100 yrds,But I can't do it consistently.The Rifle is capable,but I'm not.My worst shoots about 3 1/2" @ 100 yrds consistently.I would say that 3"'s is about My average stock Rifle.

PH

Thanks for the info. I have a few buddies that would like to get a rifle bigger than an AR in 223, but find a M1-A a little to spendy.

I tell them "Just get a M1 Garand from the CMP". They always ask how well does a Garand shoot at 100 yards.

I tell them baised on the ones I have shot, with good ammo, 2 to 3 inches, should be expected.

With iron sights, what is not to like???

OK Bill , so you are saying I am average? I am ok with that but I gotta say , 20 years ago a guy who dated my wife said she was average and she still wants to gouge his eyes out. LOL.
