Great day at the range.

[SA Friday]

It was just one of those days at the range that will stick with ya long after the day is over. It wasn't too hot, no pre than 10mph winds, not another living soul out there, and all the prep paid off. I was shooting Nosler partition loads out of my Rem 700 in 7mm Mag out to 600 yds and breaking down the hold-overs for the various ranges. The Scope on this (hunting) rifle has hash marks for better estimations. I was pretty much MOA out to 600 yds with it. Side note: I have to do something with the damn trigger on that thing. It's like 5 lbs, way too heavy. Had more than one shot lost due to the trigger. Regardless, the reload with a 160gr Nosler Partition and the gun did their part and that thing is ready to do short of a little TLC assistance from a friend or two.

I also did some AR shooting out to 600 yds today with my long range AR and some 69gr SMK reloads with Tac. Got a lot of dope dialed in on that thing today. It's way too much fun to bash the hell out of the 12" steel at 600 yds with an AR.

I got a lot of the trajectory figured out on those two guns today, and even got to work on doping the wind better today. Just something calming about working a rifle out past a quarter mile. The precision is there, and now the accuracy is just ab out dialed in.

Those are pretty good looking groups there!

The picture looks closer than 600 yards.

That's what scopes do. Damn iron-sights shooters.

Next time you go out, let me know, you should still have my number I think. I would like to get my rifle out past the 200 I have access to and learn how to actually use the scope, lol...

Good shooting. I wish I could get out more and shoot longer ranges

Reset the trigger and adjusted the weight on my Rem 700 last night. Dear god why didn't I do that sooner. It's at about 3.5 lbs now and I got it lighter, but it feels better to me at this weight. I am so glad I picked this rifle up before they went to that aweful Accu-x or whatever they call that new POS design.

I should probably take this to a friend of mine in Pueblo and have him float the barrel a little more and bed the stock.

Fri, would you be up to doing some trigger work on my LR setup sometime?... Stock trigger but I've heard they can be adjusted pretty well. I've seen the youtbe vids on how to do it, would just be "scared" not to have an "experienced" eye checking things out.
