    Bittersweet shoot at 200 yesterday....

    Bittersweet cause it's the last time I'll be using this range...their prices are going up soon and since they only do a daily fee, and three days' fees will cover an annual membership at another range that has 600 and 1000 yard berms, instead of just 300....well, no-brainer. Great facility...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex seems to have dropped their mil discount

    Was about to buy a vortex scope via their .mil discount on the promotive DoD community, and to my surprise it's gone. Pretty unfortunate; guess I'll go with a different company. Just a heads-up for other active fellas who were hoping to get a discount from them; you're better off sticking with...

    Ever have one of those weeks you can't win?

    This is mine apparently. The live round in the chamber makes it lots more interesting. Never even got a round off. Fgmm apparently too large for my chamber.

    Got to meet Brad Thor

    For those of you not familiar with his work, look him up on Amazon. 8-time NYT Bestselling thriller author, attached to an SF unit in Afghanistan to research one of his novels...and one HELL of a good American to boot. He was doing a book-signing at Bailey's Crossroads, VA to promote his new...

    Best way to visit DC

    Had the very distinct opportunity of being an Honor Flight Guardian today. Those not familiar with the Honor Flight program, their mission is to fly WWII vets, free of charge to Washington, DC so they can visit the WWII memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Iwo Jima memorial, and other local...

    Hunting & Fishing Went to South Dakota

    Those of you familiar with Framis a.k.a. oldman1942 (on the 'fire), I ran into a few of her close family last week. Here we have the extremely rare, but wholly magnificent Bearded Ferret displaying two fine examples of why he comes to South Dakota: A fine example here of a couple hours'...

    Hunting & Fishing 2 more hogs down (GRAPHIC!)

    Don't say I didn't warn ya. I got the one on the right with the Shamwow, buddy got the other with the buggy eye (look close you'll see the entry hole right in front of the ear). Rockin the official Armed Ferret Pig-Huntin Shirt.

    Hunting & Fishing Hogs down

    AMAX's suck for hunting. Isn't that what gets parroted around here quite often? I got momma with the 7Shamwow you see in the photo, 162 AMAX. Buddy got her kids with one single 178 AMAX (700 5R) through both brainpans. Gotta love it when they line up. Here's another pic for shits 'n'...

    The good news is, I figured out the problem....

    I have been unable to get much better than 1.25" or so out of a custom-built heavy-barreled remington 700. The smith damn sure knows what he's doing, so I know it wasn't put together wrong. Past targets with several other guns over the years have illustrated I have progressed nicely as a...

    Time for a new scope?

    Pretty sure I need a new scope. Dual sandbags from a bench for the following: Group 1 was shot with a Varget load that wasn't shooting too well at the frostbite shoot; I was trying to get velocities. The speeds were all over the damn place (ES was around 70fps! YIKES!)....just like the shot...

    Got the new chunk out to the range today

    Just for a rehash, here's the barreled action I got back from Michael sitting in my A-5. Ignore the buckmaster, it's just there so I could get it out shooting this weekend. First group after getting it on paper, with zero load development (this is 200 yards, kids): 1.160" center-to-center...

    Controlled Chaos Arms barreled action arrived

    Controlled Chaos Arms (member septic-tank13 on here) reworked my 5R after I shot the throat even longer than it came from the factory. All I can say is WOW. Pics will do the talking: As it came, fresh out of the box: (yes, he included a calendar, and yes, you need to get one for your gun...

    A different kinda rifle...

    Afghan military-contract Martini-Henry, in .577/450M-H. Obviously not bought as a shooter, but one of the "diamonds in the rough" at the Bagram bazaar. Most of the M-H rifles there are very obvious Khyber Pass hackjobs, but once in a while you stumble on a good one like this. Not bad for 110...

    Suppressors Charlie came through

    Been waiting over a year for this beauty. Can't say I'm disappointed. And September 2010 can't get here soon enough--that's when my Ingram order should be filled.
