Another target shoot challenge? I'd come back for that.

With 15 shots and a spotter you can just shoot from where you are.

Sounds like me. Always get my 40 hours in and leave early on Thursday. Stretches my three day weekends into three and a half day weekends.

Maybe once the money starts flowing back in I'll finally get into PRS. I've always wanted to do that and possibly benchrest.

Well after 4 years I finally have another build at 95%, just need the BCG. Total invested cost of $285 (again still have to pick up bcg). I would have been cheaper but the wife being the sweetheart she is bought me a fancy SI CH.

After the match a VERY nice fella let me use his rifle & showed me how to use his optic to adjust for the variables (I was having so much fun I don't remember exactly & will have to double check with him on the distance) but I think on my second attempt I hit my first 1400+ !

How cool is that?!

What match, and what caliber? And what optic?
12-10-2018, 18:27

Oh, probably the PRS match we've been talking about this entire time. I'll try and keep up.

If you want new, I strongly suggest these...

https://www.aimsurplus.com/product.a...&groupid=12184

I have a bunch of them now and they are great, especially for the price.

I'll check when I'm home this weekend, but I may have a spare older bcg that I'd sell cheap too.

Not yet.

I don't want to go where you're thinking, ... I only want to do this once. I have to buy shocks because it has none, and I wont compromise to save a buck and have a rough ride after the fact. I'm doing research and will talk with some pretty bright minds who know what they're doing when it comes to it.

At least the money I spent on the Alcan springs for the front has proven to be worth it, they were designed for my year model with a 7.3 weight in mind. I don't mind spending money if stuff is right, but I won't if the outcome isn't going to be what I want. Moving shock mounts on the frame is no big deal, and changing 39 year old leaf springs doesn't really seem to that bad of an idea to me.

Yea I need a total of about 6 (long term) but cant do anything immediately because things are just too tight. I'm just glad to have a little something back up before shit gets too stupid.

It was just nice to feel back to semi normal again and building. I love shooting dont get me wrong but I love to build and tinker.

Btw anyone ever got a 3d printer I found a bunch of cadd files on the met for primer catches etc for reloading.
12-10-2018, 19:33
Grant H.

I'm the same, the building/tinkering/etc of the firearms world is one of my major pass times.

I also love to shoot, but I've been too busy for consistent range time of late.

I will check on my BCG's when I am home and let you know.

I have access to my brothers 3D printer (PLA), and can print some stuff if you need.

28 more daze before the shit starts. Hopefully they'll be so tied up in knots trying to overtly overthrow Trump. They'll sideline any gun bans for the 1st quarter.

USPS tracking is like tracking Santa?s sleigh. I once had a package coming from Kansas arrive in Denver, then it went to Salt Lake City, then to some place in Montana, then back through Salt Lake City before arriving at my house. At least according to their tracking. I kind of believe it though since the item I ordered showed up about eight days after it shipped from Kansas.

I sold a Benchmade recently, and USPS did something similar, despite the buyer having the same tracking info as I did, he was still sweating me about the delay, what a pain in the ass, which is one of the reasons shipping is a last resort for me.

Just call Santa and have him ship your stuff on his sleigh.
