…Zilker Park and Barton Springs, one of the nicest swimming holes anywhere.

Those were both staples of my childhood, absolutely amazing memories there along with Travis Lake! I wish I hadn’t gone so dang blind so young, I used to love how crystal clear Barton Springs was and wish I’d been able to learn to scuba dive there rather than the murky ass lakes around Phoenix. :confused: Good memories, though. I used to love riding the train there!

Finally starting to get the rifle out more frequently now I'm doing less rimfire.

Took the rifle to an NRA shoot (FTR, F class, etc) shooting 3/5/600 yards, my dodgy 308 reloads and 16" barrel did well at 300 but fell apart after that, need to shoot some more to work out if it was just wind giving me vertical in my groups, or I need to speed more time tuning my load.

168gr ELD-Ms, Varget, Sellior Bellot (shite) brass, and ES of 50fps.
Quite a windy day with a variable 4-5oclock wind.
 
300yards, wind was difficult but group was .74moa tall including the first sighted I dialed down .1mil after.

500yards, not bad windage (was a windy day) but vertical is 1.4moa, would be a little less without first sighter

600yards, was really questioning my elevation after shots 6 and 7 so dialed up and ended up putting shot 9 quite high. Shot 6 was slow on the Garmin, not sure why 7 went low though. View attachment 8785604
600yards with some 168SMK Sellipr Bellot Match ammo, grouped well at 100yards but has an ES of 80, so wasn't expecting good things. A lot worse than 168 ELDMs in the wind.

Looks like fun.
Most .308's can be very accurate, it's worth the time and trouble to work up a good load. Ask what the local winning Palma/Fullbore shooters are using and see if the helps.
What size are the 9, 10 & X rings?

Goggle for running and scope

F
I usually run with Oakley or Gatorz, but I stow them on my hat until I get close to the stage.

I have been using RayBan Meta tinted and recently bought a set of clears to record my 2 gun stages and I think I’m going to run my R&G this Saturday with the clear raybans. Not good for distance, but they have decent video/sound and it makes evaluating my mistakes very easy, as there is little no guess work.

I sweat bad in these runs, even the night runs in March, and I have yet to find a coating I can apply that will keep my glasses and my ocular from fogging just off body heat. If you guys have found the magic ticket, please share. So far, cat crap hasn’t cut it.

Looking for some M1D Experts

cplnorton
I'm probably bad at pricing. Just because I don't pay attention to it like I used to years ago.

But looking online you can get a repo M1D barrel by Criterion with M1D mount for $620. A regular M1 donor rifle is say $1200 ish. A repo M84 scope maybe $350 to $400. Then a $30 for a cheekpad. You can buy a repo t37 flashider for cheap. I can't imagine more than $20/$30.

So what maybe $2500ish? There would be a little in there for gunsmith fees to swap that barrel unless you had one of us old guys around that change Garand barrels for free for local people. ;)
