Sac Valley Vintage Military Semi-Auto Silouette Match results
My youngest son and I shot the match with our Ljungmans. As usual, he kicked my *****.
Match is 40 rounds, 10 rounds each at chickens (220 yards), pigs (330 yards), turkeys (420 yards), and rams (550 yards), shot with military semi auto rifles. Match winner come from the "as issued" vintage class. Here's a pic of the range... As you can see from the results sheet, there ain't much "vintage" left in the "vintage" match.

It is sad, but the match director needed to keep the match going as fewer and fewer vintage semi-auto military rifle shooters were showing up. The reality was that the vintage rifle shooters were not sufficient to keep the match going. I've been working on a 8x57 load for my Hakim, hoping to shoot it in the match, but when push comes to shove, the Ljungman always comes up more accurate.

Aren't the vintage guns limited to 1945 and before? That rules out FN-49s, MAS 49s and 49/56 rifles, and a few others. Seems like if you broadened the rules a bit, you might get a few more guys out there.

That is true for the monthly "Military Rifle Silhouette". However, for this match, the "Semi-Auto Military Rifle Silhouette", the rules are somewhat less restrictive and those rifles you mentioned would be included in the "as issued" class. My son has used an FN 49 in the past without a problem.

I've never seen anyone use one, but I'm certain that SVT 40's would be welcome. I've also seen a few SKS's over the years, although they weren't competitive.

If I recollect, Flynbrian has an SVT40. What I can't stand is that they at a more reasonable price in Canada and we as Collectors can't buy them from up there. Damn.

I know. The Swedish CG target rifles and the Schultz and Larsen target rifles are also available and much cheaper in Canada.

Prone, with a front rest, but no rear rest. Front rest may not be an adjustable type...basically something like an ammo box and sand bag.
Also, for those who can't get into the prone position, bench can be used, with the same restriction on the front/rear rest.

The semi auto match is every other month and shooters must use semi autos. However, most of the rules are the same for both matches

No. It is usually the 4th Sunday of every other month, but the schedule is not set in stone.
