Gil,
A great post. Today I chatted at the local club with a guy, like yourself, who runs CMP high power matches at a nearby club. The first CMP match is April 23 and last year only one shooter out of 14 shot the venerable Garand. I told him I will be at the club on 4/23/06 with a Garand.
Ok, the .223 may be a good gun, but thankfully the offhand stage is the great equalizer! I will have my circa 1964 Garand to run the course. That fine .30-06 got me onto the NH High Power Rifle Team in 1982 and 1984 and on to Camp Perry.
We both got our first Matel 16s in 1965 as E-4s and I am still not impressed. I do not own a .223. Garands are better, but I have no bias. 10-4.
Adam
