Seems like when it isn't raining these days, the wind is howling so hard target stands wouldn't stay put. And I hate chasing my targets and stands across the forest all day...

If you go up to the clubs range, it's always raining up there, this time of the year. And every other day in between!!!!! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/zA1uPnd.jpg) I hear you about the wind too. It's always windy in the gorge!!! And these guys think they always need wind flags.. ha ha..
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

Cool pictures BSA. (pun intended)
I'm still shooting off and on when time permits.
Trying several different scopes on the CZ seeing what I like best.
Right now its a Tract 4-12X40 AO and I'm liking it. Tract has some
fantastic glass. Nice. Those Tract scopes have some amazing glass. I'll bet you are liking that 4-12x40. I thought you liked using something like a 6x Burris on some of your 22's though? The higher power scopes suit my needs better, most of the time. However, if hunting jackrabbits I'll usually use a good 3-9x40. A 6x would probably work great as well. Paper targets or golf balls, and I like 14x or higher magnification. Even at 50 yards. Fun stuff though. Keep us posted on how you are liking that CZ. Hopefully it doesn't start raining over here!! I'll be hitting the range here in a bit. Even though I question why I am replacing the trigger housing on this 10/22 clone. The plastic one is excellent. I just don't like plastic trigger housings. This one may go up for sale, but I'm still hesitant about it because it's like a matchgrade trigger. No creep, breaks clean at 2.5 pounds. I may just keep it around for a spare? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FfiJpWq.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/lNfNTQj.jpg) WhatVolquartsen parts are you using in that trigger?

Been denting rims with my Savage 6A with a fine old Weaver 29S on board.
1/4 to 3/8ths for 5 shots at 25 yards isn't too hard to take on a chilly day!
That old girl, she's a Utica Savage, is just a MARVEL.

WhatVolquartsen parts are you using in that trigger? The trigger shown doesn't have any Volquartsen parts in it. It's basically a BX trigger, from what I gather. A very nice one though, as I like the 2.5 pound pull. It came in the TI Elite 22S stainless Ruger 10/22 clone I recently bought. The trigger I replaced it with is an aluminum housing oldstyle that I put the Volquartsen parts in.

My buddy took his work rifles out to confirm the dope, after getting his scopes back from Leupold. We mounted them, and got them dialed back in. Since he was shooting 2 308 win rifles, I figured I'd bring one of mine. Hog hunting sounds like a blast. Good luck buddy!!!

Well, I did get an opportunity to clear personal data from Wifey’s old iPhone before discarding it. Does that count? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Wz350Vr8/IMG-7637.jpg)

Looks like your grouping needs a little work... I’m afraid you’ve got a point there. Kentucky elevation just didn’t quite cut it. This thing’s still shooting way high because the scrounged Novak I installed up front wasn’t tall enough: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PxGXYs4Y/IMG-5047.jpg) So, the top of the rear sight needs just a bit more filing. I’m trying to avoid the need to spring for a new, taller Novak dot front sight. But, may just hafta spend the money.

Made it out to the range yesterday to practice and test some loads that I was playing around with seating depth. Sling, prone, 4.5 power scope, 223 service rifle. Pretty happy with the result. The weather has been beautiful the last few days. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J4TYLbpL/IMG-6996.png)

Nice, at least some of you guys are getting out and doing some shooting. The weather has really been hit and miss over here. This is how last Friday and Saturday looked: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dbpP4et.jpg) That's in northern Nevada. However, a couple days ago, I went out and shot an online challenge. Used my old 1949 Winchester model 52: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3FBTCK5.jpg) I never shoot prone unsupported, so my target was crap. Then I shot another online challenge. Posted that one here, but not too many guys wanting to shoot that one. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yVk60GX.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/KvkayxQ.jpg) Threw a scope on my Savage MK1 FVT, to shoot some Easter eggs. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/WmQASX7.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/UOBkYne.jpg) At least I could see the target well enough to shoot left handed that day!!! Unlike the day prior. Shot this at 60yds offhand yesterday with my CZ drop in barrel Lilja. Sorry, I have not shot my shotgun in a while!!!
