Some dated back to 2006 , some good lots in there . I think he was shooting IR 50/50 targets and got some 248’s and 249’s with no wind flags . Off season I practice 100 yds off hand , sitting , and prone to keep sharp for field shooting . As I get older I need the practice that’s for sure . Kenneth

Didnt really know what would work the best PM me, I'll send you the same Millet red dot for your son's rifle. 😉 Edit: it looks the same at least, and it's used but works. My son needed something on a riser now, so its sitting on the shelf. Last edited by goalie; 01/26/21.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Bolts, semi-auto rifles or pistols, single action revolvers, double action. I have 27,000 rounds on the shelf & I've fugged up. That number should be double. Then I could shoot some every day & maybe, just maybe not worry about running out for a while.
