The Garand was my first match rifle purchase from what was called DCM/director of civilian marksmanship (now CMP) for $125.00. I had it turned into a match configuration by an old Marine armourer out of Arkansas and the rifle shoots very very good. That was in the eighties, so I'm not 100 years old. Anyway, a great rifle and a lot of fun to shoot.
My favorite load is using 168 grn match bullets over either Varget, 4064, or have even had great results with RL15. I think buying the cmp ammo is great for just everyday plinking.
