Cold Garand. Never had a platform issue with cold weather and the rifle. On the other hand, this shooter much prefers the tropics. The Marines at the Frozen Chosin had a clear understanding of what hell is.

As to the scope, don't want one, so, the $1 is appropriate. This auction left me with the feeling
this might be a snow job. Like, if the bald facts don't work, baffle them with bullshit.

Air Force gets the best equipment. :wink05:

Anyhoo, the En bloc clip was apparently not Garand's first choice?

Yup. The 200 meter thing is due to the terminal energy dropping below 500 ft/lbs.
The 30.06 round drops below 500 ft/lbs at 1100 to 1300 meters. Great big duh.
