We could get really picky and say only military rifles built before WW I, or go all the way and say any rifle chambered in a pre-WW I caliber, regardless of nationality.
That would include .30-06,.303Brit, 7.62x54R, 6.5x55, the Mannlicher-Schoenauer, the Lebels, the Mauser variants, the Spencers, US Gov Sharps cartridges, the Danish Rolling Block calibers, and a bunch more I can't recall right now.
I'd like to see a shoot with original rifles & replicas and another with any rifle but using original spec ammo.
Opinions?
