Target for Siting M1 Garand?

[mallc]

Does anyone have a target for siting a M1 at 100 yds that I can print from my computer?

Thanks in advance for helping.

For sighting in at 100 yards, you'd be better off with perhaps a large sheet of that white corrugated plastic posterboard stuff, like they make campaign signs out of. You'll want it large enough so you can see where your shots are hitting, if they're off far enough. An 8-1/2x11" piece of paper is pretty small at 100 yards. To zero the rifle, you'll likely need to "walk" the shots to the bullseye.

Print and shoot!

You can zero a M1 garand with just about any target you can see. No specail target required. It may take a few rounds for the action to settle in the stock depending on fit.

When sighting in a new rifle I start at 25 yards, then 50, then 100. You will save a lot of ammo that way!

I would suggest something like the Army uses, the one that looks like a mans outline or something similar to what is used by the Appleseed for the AQT. Here are some others www.targetz.com/targets01.htm , www.varmintal.net/atarg.htm , www.mytargets.com , ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/tphaller/page3.html

The larger the target the more possibility there is of sighting error. I use a 6" bullseye to zero at 100 yds, big enough to see but requires accurate sighting. If that's tyoo hard to see use a bigger one.

Army sighter is about 1 1/2" for 25 yards and has always done right for me.

Over the years, the military (Army) produce a "sighting in target" for the 1,000 inch range (25 meters). It has 1/2 inch squares. This affords you good information for sight adjustments.

I use these first before moving back to 100 yards or further. It saves time and ammo.
