They are set up shoot out to 1000 yards. Can't say it is a destination point but it sure can be challenging it you like shooting in high...

    Night Vision It’s coming...

    Son just got his yesterday, bought from Will. This is his third thermal, his last was a Arma Right Apollo Pro 50 mm with 540 resolution. He said the Tig is definitely clearer than what he has seen in the video. He mounted in front of an IOR 3-18x. With high humidity he could get to 10x on the...

    Member Link Up Alway open for a fishing Day

    Lived in Pocatello for 23 years before moving back to Oregon 2 years ago. Thought trout fishing in Oregon (McKenzie river) was good. Realized I didn't have a clue. They grow some big fish in SE Idaho. Read recently that South Fork of the Snake has over 5000 fish per mile of river. Have a...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Last picture showing the set up for the slot cut needed for the bottom metal. I used the first fixture I made to hold the receiver to drill the stock bolt holes to hold the receiver again. This bolted to piece of channel steel that is welded to angle steel bolt to the cross slide on the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Set up with a receiver in the steel tubing attached to the faceplate, and with the centering rod in place being dialed in. Don't remember taking a crooked picture. LOL Picture of the tap used for the receiver barrel threads after they had been about 75 to 80% cut. Note the bolts to hold the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Got lucky and found the storage device for the pictures. First is how I held the receiver to drill the stock bold holes. I was 1.5 inch square tubing with 1/4 inch wall thickness. Cut out a pocket for the rear sight ears on the top of the receiver to go into. Used a steel rod through the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Figuring out where to start, the order of what to do and how to hold the receivers while machining was more difficult than the actual machining work. Virtually every step required a jig or fixture of some type to hold the receivers. Probably half the time I spent on this project was making the...

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Came across this tread and thought I would post a couple of pictures of my M85 and tell of it's build. Well actually I built two of them, one for my son and one for me, both in 6.5 Creedmoor. My son was the driver in this project telling me that he could find the parts and I could build the...

    What age do you teach your little one to shoot?

    Re: What age do you teach your little one to shoot? My oldest son was almost 4 the first time he fired a gun. Kind of funny because I had just picked up my first 1911 and was at my parents to shoot it. Matt wanted to go, at least to watch. With help he shoot my Dan Wesson 22. Then he told...
