Maggie’s What's Your View II

[LeftyJason]

@Geno C. has the thread in rimfire been updated lately?
I haven’t gotten any notifications on it.

I can’t even find it

This one?

Think I’ll take a step forward with the Vudoo, well 22lr anyway. Let’s try a Quad

Let’s see what these will do in a fast twist Bartlein on a Vudoo. Had my buddy fit and chamber a 1-5.75 Bartlein barrel. Worked with another friend at Badlands Precision to get this bullet made.

This is a picture of sadness...

The sun is rising right of my water tower view. Probably has been for a week.

Early July it is left of the tower.

It will be moving right now until Dec 21.

Took my soon to be 79 year old dad out shooting steel. He’s always been a cold blooded killer, and his 223 at 650 is no different. Good day for sure

Some random views....

At the beach last weekend....

Just noticed the figure, right foreground, surpirised I did not see her than as she seems out of place. Perhaps one of the witches hanged on Cape Anne.

Walking around Charlestown MA on a damp Sunday...

Inside the Constitution Museum....the book on the right is particularly virulent political propaganda....

@308pirate 's weapon room...

The only tattoo any Sailor should get..........I like it also. May not be bad for a Marine. Bad ass!

Beach yesterday...

Wuz gunna put that 1 up 2, butt didn't wanna over dew it.

 

[canman]

Here's a fact that will put some light on that movie. It was released in 1963. The female cast for the most part was Jessica Tandy born in 1909. Susanne Pleshette born in 1937 and Tippy Hendren born in 1930. I recently watched it on TCM and my first thought was " That Jessica Tandy is a good looking girl". That's what old age has in store for you...

The SPR is getting a facelift. Picked up a matched Mega receiver set, so adding the little bits. Old school Triggertech frictionless trigger, Magpul gen 3 PRS, JP one piece, Bushnell HDMR II glass, superlative arms adjustable GB. Barrel is a 1:7.7 bartlein that started life as a heavy service contour blank and had a Seekins bolt headspaced to it. Barrel work was done by a superb smith who may or may not build precision large frame ARs. Time to do a good thermal fit on barrel and make a decision on what handguard I want. Paint scheme to be decided still.

Down in Gloucester MA yesterday doing some modifications on these tenders that we just completely rebuilt over the winter. They live on the deck of this big boat. It was pouring out, luckily the crew erected a tarp so I could see, it was raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock!
Big boat:

My view for the day:

 

[Mike Ryan]

Two views... Guests for breakfast and finally mowing the field so I can start shooting at distance again...

 

[Badfinger]

Goat mom up early feeding her Nigerian dwarf goats:

 

[jbell]

My next project is a repower of this honey. It should be tricky to get the engines and gears out and the new ones back in. They have to go up through the companion way (stairs in the pic). Just got the floors up and out of the boat. It's a mess right now, so many systems are getting replaced.

 

[Powder_Burns]

I see your chart is made in China.

 

[jbell]

Another sea trial checking out a pair of V8-900 MAN engines. These bitches are LOUD at wide open throttle when your right between them...

 

[Badfinger]

Are those just a grounds on the shafts or for electrolysis, or both?

 

[jbell]

Yes, bonding the shafts to the grounding system on the boat.

 

[Whiskey Tango Foxtrot]

need to double clamp those water lines on gear cooler...

[roostercogburn98]

A couple days in the freezer for the barrel, and a quick hit with the benzo torch on the upper. New barrel is in place on the SPR rebuild.

 

[Bryan W M]

Son spent the night with my parents so I had some free time this morning. Us to do this for a living, the staple have gotten easier to bend , I’ve lost my touch or I have way too much rock !

Started shooting again a few weeks ago, today was a range day. Temp hit 87° but I had shade and a nice gentle breeze. Good day for shooting.

Still looking for that elusive all around .308 load. Dumped the L. C. brass, switched to Federal that's been picked up from the PX over the years. Today's attempt used Varget and 175 SMK's, of which I have a lot. The rifles did get warm with 10 shot strings.

I have determined both rifles are very accurate, but I shoot the AI (right) better than the hybrid 700. There's a mostly full box of 135's in the inventory, thinking to turn the 700 into a light bullet screamer. That would be kinda fun.

Drug the 9's along to play. My pistol shooting sucks, just don't practice and have never had proper instruction. A range in Fargo offers classes, looking into the winter schedule.

Even with my crappy pistol skills, that CZ 75 nice to shoot. Maybe to nice, burned through a lot of ammo.

Still in the midst of a severe drought. Wheat is heavy, 64#, only running 18-25 bushels. Beans, nothing, pastures are a uniform brown. A lot of farms and ranches are going to get dinged this year.

I hear that on drought. It’s been brown here since June. Going to be a hard go for a lot of our producers.

No drought here, another beautiful day on the range for load development.

On the edge of a drought up this way.
Wasn’t too hot today but that didn’t stop this doe from taking a swim.

She would have swam right up to where we were until she heard us talking.

Where is that?

MCB Quantico Range 4

When leaving work tonight.....

 

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Took a friend out to the range tonight and helped him sight in the ACOG on his AR.

Was able to put some rounds on steel at 200, which is the farthest he’s ever shot.

Once he makes contact a little farther out, I’ll have him hooked!

Little Yanmar in a sailboat dropped a valve. The engine room is under the galley sink and I'm working on the blue blankets you can see in the pic. I just got the head off, more fun to come...

Varget or 4064 and a 155 Scenar are your accuracy and hunting friends.

So noted. Varget and 4064 aplenty, two boxes of Sierra 155's on the shelf. Thanks.
