"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
I took my new 223 Ackley bolt gun to a match yesterday.
I had my new Terminus action barreled by Fritz at Black Canyon Rifles a few weeks ago. This replaced my Bighorn that was being an asshole feeding and caliber with a 223 based case. This action feeds like butter. Much smoother than the Bighorn.
Using a stout load of Varget in Lapua brass, I am pushing 80 gn Sierra bullets just over 3,000 fps.
I really like the minimal recoil and noise. After a string of 7 shots, my RO told me that the timer didnt pick up a single shot. My reply "You say that like its a bad thing." Gotta love Thunderbeast suppressors.
Here is a picture from a couple weeks ago. I was practing shooting off a tripod at 1,000 yards.

You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
Was up at the South Site Weds. Zereod some optics in. Steel plates at 200 yards. Sited in a red dot for MCK Glock 19.
It is the elevation that gets me. Walk out to the targets drains me.
I need to get my gear dialed in.

Spent Saturday afternoon in our last practice for the team 3 Gun Shoot this weekend. The two teenage boys that got some help from some folks here are pretty excited for next Sunday. The really nice thing about teens is that they can and will bend over to pick up brass so I don't have to.

Was looking for this thread. A couple weekends ago, I took the AK out to make sure it was still sighted in after chopping the barrel. I'm glad I did, as it was shooting low. So I adjusted it. I called the flyer.
Then last weekend I went to have a conjugal with my YHM Resonator. Both uppers shot much lower with the can mounted, that's a bit disconcerting.

I barely shoot guns anymore, since they’re boring once I stopped chasing nodes and little groups. Bows are so much more frustrating.
On Father’s Day, I took the bow out with a new arrow build which *should* be underspined, and confirmed out to 60 yards. I should be shooting a 340-300 spine. Am I? Nope. I don’t feel like shimming the cams this close to season, having ever done so. I have another bow which I can mess with, but with my short draw I need all the speed plus weight and FOC I can get. So to make a short story longer, I shot a bow.
