I think I'll get out to the range next week.It's been a long time. Sometimes going to the range is good for the soul and mind. Enjoy your time there!!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The only shooting I'm doing these days is trying to figure out why m latest build isn't ejecting. fire a few rounds and take it home and make a few modifications and go out and trying again.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

What fresh Hell is this?

I've been consistently at the range at least once every weekend since December. This last weekend was the coldest at 4 degrees. Later in the session had some failure to fires and ejects.
It's good to lead - it's better to lead by example.

Shot some Midas + from my T1x yesterday as bad as I hated to. Wind was heavier than I wanted for testing at 7-15mph but I still shot a 230 on the usbr. A friend came down later and shot Midas in his T1x after the wind died down and shot a 236 on the usbr. As bad as I hate to I’m probably going to buy a brick for our local matches. Any miss I had was a piss poor wind call on my part.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

First Sako I've owned though. Yes, I would free float it also. I forgot you said it was touching in the forend. Thanks buddy. That's exactly what I did. Got some bedding under the chamber area too. Started out with no bedding under the chamber, and it only marginally made a difference. Freefloating the barrel made it much more consistent, as the barrel heats up too. Damn these things are so mechanical. Just got to figure them out. Not a rimfire of course (sorry guys), but after putting 3 shots on the steel yote at 400 yards, I then went to the head and fired 5 more. I wouldn't take this one to a match, but it will work great for deer and yotes, and the unsuspecting jackrabbit and ground squirrel.

I know that pizzes some guys off, as they don't get it when I say I wish I could find a rifle that can outshoot me. Sometimes you have to manipulate the bastids!!! That is something the rifle can never do. That midas plus ammo is expensive, but if your rifle loves it, it may be worth buying it for your shoots. Sounds like you are doing well buddy!!!

Pappy after that order of business you ever get the urge to use the 22 on 5 stand ? Mb Well done Mike 70560. Mb

Mb No, but I sometimes joke about using my little LCP II, to make it more challenging (as if THAT was necessary!)

Oughta pay for gas anyway…. Good eating I’m told. No equivalent here. Used to shoot a lot of starlings long ago and far away, but it was all on our dime, and we sure as Hell didn’t eat them😱

Been staying busy, coyote hunting weekends with good success: Great group of dogs! Otherwise doing some shooting weather permitting. Been a very mild winter here so far.
