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.

Norwegian training rounds with plastic bullets. Note the labeling of 7.62x63mm and 30.06.

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.
