I am interested in the bolt gun match. The time limits on the 50 shot National Match format can be a bit tight for a bolt gun. Will they be adjusted for them?

Also my 1916 Mauser doesn't us mags so the mag change would cause problems.

Can you post the location?

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

No need to adjust times for bolt guns during rapid fire. The 60 seconds sitting and 70 seconds prone has been the standard on the firing line since the days when the 1903 Springfield was the National Match rifle of choice. Since we're shooting this match using NRA rules, we'll start in position and not the traditional standing then into position as in a Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) match...., so that saves alot of time.

However, you will need at least two five round stripper clips for your Mauser like these.

You can get them here.

These Swedish clips work in all Mausers based designed bolt actions. I use them in all of my Springfields.

Let me know if you need any help, I'm a CMP Master Instructor and its our mission to provide free training to anyone interested in shooting this great old rifles.

Mark,
I hate to miss this one. I'll be out of town. Next year though, I'll put them on my calendar.
