Introduced the kiddo to the AK. He likes it.

Took my 6 Grendel that member AKA Spook built for me out for some load development. Varget was a little high pressure with the really accurate load, so I decided to try H4895 with 105 Berger Hybrids.
I had also swapped out uppers. I had it in a LaRue OBR Lite upper and I moved it to a VLTOR monolithic upper. The monolithic uppers make mounting scopes much easier. And of course, a Thunderbeast suppressor and a S&B 4-16x42.
This is 5 shots at 610 yards. Pretty happy with that.

Technically it was yesterday but even with my ankle @ ~ 70%, I shot both of the Pueblo tactical matches because there was still a spot available in the afternoon.

Lucky for me you stayed on the couch
I blew up doors
Stayed in the shade and watched other people shoot... (Yesterday)

First five shots at 25 yards were promising.

Since those five shots seemed a little low and ever so slightly left I moved the rear sight a little and got it close enough to make me happy. The fiber optic sights aren?t very conducive to tight groups but I was happy with it. It?s definitely minute of bunny or minute of soda can out to 25 yards.

I took it out to 50 yards but the glowing red front sight totally obscured the target at that distance. Managed to keep all five on the target (barely) and did have a center hit that blew the little orange paster clean off the target.

And of course what trip to the range would be complete without putting a couple of hundred rounds through your EDC?

I was a bit rusty through the first 50 rounds.

Worked on focusing on my front sight and controlling my trigger through the next hundred rounds and was pretty dialed in on the final 50 shots before I called it a day.

I need to remember how much fun the range is so I?ll try and get out more often.
I don't bend like that any more, I guess tactical matches are out for me. And yes, my knees hurt from seeing pic 2.Quote:

I took him out for his first range trip a few years ago, and since then we've shot precision, tactical, handguns, and trap, and precision seems to be where he felt most comfortable. He certainly proved that this weekend. I've got an older Savage Model 12 in .223 that's reserved for him, using 75 gr AMAX and Lapua brass, and we spent Sunday morning at the 300 yard range at Great Guns. They say you're only as good as your last group, and his last group at 300 yards was 3/4 of an inch. I know that target will be posted near his desk for all of the real shooters to see on Tuesday morning.
checked zero on a suppressed 357 lever gun and 45 acp mauser conversion, also suppressed. Rand 1/2 doz mags through the SA 9mm 1911. Decided to have the slide cerakoted.

Think it will look good with the stainless slide.
Does the suppresed Mauser even make a noise?
A wee bit. The steel plates confirm i actually got the round through and out the bbl. @ 25 yds it's dead nuts, 50 has a bit of hold over, 100 is like 4 - 8" above the plate. Has a primary arms 04 rds.Quote:

Mauser minds must think alike I took myb45 cap Mauser out to the ranger yesterday alsoQuote:

I have an idea for a better ejector then the extended one RA provides. Just need to see if it's practical to work as well as be usable in the area of the receiver i want to use.Quote:

Tried out the Chrono I got for my birthday. Learned a lot about lighting, depth, and stand-off distance but no holes in the Chrono!

I would be definitely interested in how that works outQuote:

Got my AR pistol out to the range for the first time after installing a CMC 3.5# flat trigger. Really love it, now I need to swap out the trigger from my regular 16" ar that has an older CMC (think it's 5.5#). And the Sig Romeo 5 on on the AR pistol is still awesome. Massively outperforms the TRS-25 I previously had on it. Dot is much crisper/clearer, and the shake-awake is awesome.

I shot my first USPSA match on Sunday.
Loved it.
Hahaha. Welcome to the life. Warning: USPSA is as addictive as crack cocaine but more expensive.Quote:

Is that an Aero rail? How sturdy are they? Curious about that styleQuote:

I opened up the Trap Club. It was cool and wet, lots of mud. Explored the beaten zone looking to see how many targets we really missed, waited for somebody to show up, wished I'd brought a shotgun...(Doh!) Thought about getting my .22 pistol out for a little plinking but decided it was too muddy... Called it a day after an hour and a half and went back to work.
Perfect weather @ CMSC yesterday. Pike's Peak Precision holidays follies gas gun match. Lovely time & glad I could go.
That's great! I'm jealous.Quote:
