Hunting & Fishing Labor Day with my Wife........

[MTETM]

Prairie dog shooting,...
Her idea, This is how a 7 month pregnant lady shoots to 500 yards in the pursuit of the elusive prairie mutt....
LOTS of dead dogs between 250 and 350.
After this picture she added a sweatshirt under her elbow and hits increased dramatically.

Lucky man, sounds like you have a great life companion. What is the left hand bolt gun? I can't tell from the pic. Nice setup.

MTETM, you are a lucky man. It is great that the two of you enjoy the same things.

Looks like a Savage Left hand with a Badger knob.

Maybe a McMillan stock

Re: Labor Day with my Wife........

Thanks for the comments folks. I feel I am a very lucky man to be married to a wonderful women who likes to shoot. It is great fun to call shots for your wife.

Dquilli1 has it correct. The rifle is her left handed savage in 223AI. I added a badger bolt knob 2 years ago after she had a hard time running it with torn up hands. The stock is a Stockade Prairie Dog special with V-Bull bottom metal. Scope is Falcon 5-25... Her only comment about the set up is she wants the new AI mags to show up. She is tired of loading the modified 308 mags with only 4 at a time, but was very pleased with how well the mags feed the AI's.

Very nice. Went out with the wife a week ago after work and tried some BH 175SMK out to 300yd. We both made 5-shot groups at 1.5" on steel. It was great time together.

Where you shooting at?

Re: Labor Day with my Wife........

cool, looks like a keeper,

on a side note, i thought it was bad for the baby to be shooting after like 6 months? it could damage their hearing. i could swear that i read that somewhere

Re: Labor Day with my Wife........

The baby hearing issue has been a concern. This was the last bit of shooting she will do or be close to until after the child is born. She has not shot as much with this baby as with the last one.

johngfoster, we are shooting to the north east of you.

Well I guess you need to invest in a supressor now don't you?

Re: Labor Day with my Wife........

Agreed,
Now to just convince my wife she needs one of her own as well is the tricky part. Been working on it for most of a year now!!
