Was out hunting right as the sun came up, snapped this picture, thought it looked pretty neat.

What would look real neat is if there was a nice buck in those sights :D
Good pic. Safety on, too :wink:

I can just imagine that many a conscript was forced to view such a scene, 1939 -1945.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

I'm not seeing the pic. Was it removed or something? Never mind. It finally loaded. Really breathtaking pic, though.

Nice photo. I agree, sort of creepy.

How did the hunt go?

I really like that photograph. I'm going to try and copy it with one of my own rifles. Awesome. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome pic! I'm gonna step out on a limb and say that pic will probably not make the cover of "Life" magazine.

Just watch were your taking it. I just envisioned a "sunrise service" in the background and panic and lots of blue lights :big shock:

That would be my luck anyway. :roll:

It has the eerie feel of the peace you might feel while watching and waiting for all hell to break loose. I think it is a very cool tribute to the milsurp battle rifle.

Lets see, I can envision a big buck in those sights, or a German infantryman... or maybe a zombie. :lol:
