Good news. Took the rifle to the centerfire shoot (hunting rifle class) and shot a 100-4x with it. Had some newbies at the range today that pissed me off though. They were sighting in their rifles on a target 10 feet to the right of mine and shot my fu cking target 3 times. RSO told them they were shooting the wrong target and they said "oops, we thought we could shoot those targets". Then I said FU CK!!. I was shooting my .223 rem then. When we got the clear your firearms and make range cold call out, one of the stupid f ucks had an accidental discharge with his AR and shot the dirt 5 feet in front of the benches.. Glad I'm home safe right now with no bullet holes in me....!!!! Here's the target I shot with my Ruger m77 mkII .223 rem. with the 3 extra holes in it. Guess which ones are not mine:
It was windy yesterday, as a storm was moving in and we got done shooting right before it started to come down. Hope you guys are having a good weekend.
Oh yeah, I also blued the bolt handle on the m1917 and threw a pre 64 model 70 Winchester extractor on it to give it a more subdued look:
Now I'm off to buy a timney trigger for this one. You should see the military trigger. Someone put a piece of metal in to take up the slop on the 2 stage trigger, so it acts like a single stage, but it's gritty as hell and kind of tacky. I've always just thrown in the $58.00 Timney sportsman and said to hell with working on the military sob. It's not like a good sweedish mauser trigger..
