First Day out w/ the 91/30

40 rounds of factory ammo (150 gr. and 180 gr SP/BT)
2 leather gloves and a heavy sweatshirt to save my shoulder
30 rds. at 50 yds (shoot-n-see) 10 rds @ 100 yds (paper plate)
all offhand, rear sight at it's first setting (100 meters, I assume)
nothing much to look at, I was just happy to be hitting something at all. I'll dial things in a bit with my reloads.

Trigger seems to run between about 15 and 17 lbs.
gun weighs a ton and kicks like a mule.
I like it.

Here's the best part–For under $200 I have a high-powered rifle, 3 boxes of shells in reloadable cases, a set of rcbs dies, lee trimming tools (case length guage, etc.) and shell holder. What?!

also...the cosmoline still in the mag lubed my cases for the first reloading!

Well I have an article on how to fix the trigger pull that I used on my 91/30, but when I tried to find it I found out that the site had a server crash. The site is www.surplusrifle.com. If they come back online they have some good info.
