I'm a Sports shooting fan from France.
I own two guns, a Marlin 336CS from 1986, in 30-30 cal which I enjoy shooting very much and which is very accurate with iron sights. The rifle is not scoped.
I'm not a great shot, here's what I can do on a good day at 54 yards:
And at 110 yards:
My other weapon is a French double action military revolver from the 19th century, an 1873 which fires 11mm black powder cartridges.
It belongs to the colonial wars era.. conquests of North & Sub Saharan Africa, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia.
During WW2 and Nazi occupation, resistants would often ream the chambers of those so that they could fire .45ACP rounds which were air dropped by the British RAF. Incredibly, the guns were able to digest those loads without exploding... most of the time!
Mine was rearsenaled sometime during its history, hence the great shape.
