New to me PTR 91

JLD build, 18" heavy barrel, Bill Springfield trigger, UTG tri rail fore grip (not really a fan, will be changing it out soon), B Square scope mount with Leupold vari X II 3-9x40 (probably won't be leaving that on either, but I want to see what sort of groups I can get with it).

I'll probably be taking it to the range in a few weeks when I get off the crutches...well, maybe I can shoot it at the FSN shoot this weekend if someone helps me out a little. I'll post up the grouping pics when I go.

Mag carriers (original German Army) for $1

I might buy that scope and mount if you decide to sell.

I think your gonna love that rifle after getting over its quirks.

I think the scope mount makes the whole thing cool!!! BTW I just got 5 mags from Cheaper Than Dirt today (along with my new claw scope mount,paid for partially by you [smilie=cheers1.gif] ) 3 are still in there oil paper wrapper and sealed in plastic bags, one was in a opened plastic bag but covered by oil paper and the last one came without a plastic bag but was totally covered by oil paper. All look as if they are unused. Great deal, I'll shoot them next weekend but they appear to be just like the mags I already have, they even say G3 and a date on them.

Hell yeah...I have like 30 from there and 99% were new in the wrapper. I think I'm going to buy another 50-100 just to sit in the attic until they get to $10 a mag.

Finally got out to the range today.

It shot several 2" 5 shot groups @ 100 yards off a sand bag front rest...with brown bear ammo. Got a few .5" 3 shot groups @ 50 yards too.

Got an occasional flyer of course, and had one where it failed to go into battery...no idea why. Everything was fine after I cleared the round though.

I'm a little curious what it will do with some decent ammo. I'm thinking it might be MOA or better.

Also, I'm really happy that the scope stays sighted in when I remove the b square mount and put it back on.

Very happy with the purchase.
