    H&R M12 Range Report

    A few years back I won an H&R M12 at an auction. I had a couple already, as well as an H&R M5200 (the "civilian" model in a walnut stock), but this one had a Viani rail on it and was cheap.

    I later discovered that it had a bedded action also.

    At any rate, I mounted 6-20 Weaver scope on it and shot it once not long after I got it. Recently found the time to shoot it again with some better ammo. First shot (cold bore) went about 8:30. Then shot a 5 shot group.

    50 yards with some Lapaua Midas +...

            Indeed, they are wonderful shooters. I shot a perfect score with mine in a 50 yard benchrest match.

            Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

                Nice! When you guys are shooting these dime size groups, I'm always interested in the ammo used, as much as I am in the guns.

                    I did see that, that was a hint to the slacker that forgot. I'll cut him slack though, he's getting old and forgetful.

                      I'll tell you, but it won't do you any good.

                      Federal Ultra Match. Hasn't been made in years, and I don't have much left.
