Re: Lets see your trainers
Thanks for the compliments! Yes the gun was not cheap at all and it blew my savings for the Premiere 5-25 that needed to go on my Remmy .308 that matches this gun almost perfectly, but alas time to save for that once again. To boot I am really wanting to buy two and run one on the Quad too. I think when the first one arrives the Quad will kidnap it and the Remmy will sit once again glassless.

Re: Lets see your trainers
Just keep shooting that trainer and eventually, the money you save on ammo will pay for the scope. It may take a little while.LOL You could definitely "get by" with a lot less, but if you really want it and it gives you pleasure, then it's worth saving for.

I'm kinda tempted to get a bushnell banner or something, but in the back of my head, I want something better... I'm not quite sure what to do, but for now, I'll try to go to 200 with irons. A 1-4 mil dot would be pretty cool, it would be kinda like shooting long range, but only shooting to 200...

Shay,
How about something like this:
http://swfa.com/Vortex-3-9x40-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P11246.aspx
You really can't go wrong with a lifetime warranty for the price. And when you are able to upgrade, you should have no problem finding a buyer.
Otherwise (I'm sure I don't need to tell you this) keep an eye on the Snipers Hide PX. I just bought 3 scopes from Hide members in the last couple weeks, and got some pretty good deals.

Re: Lets see your trainers
Currently I have only shot it out to 100yds. My best group has been a 10shot group that you could cover with a nickel. I hope to stretch it out to +200yds when I get to go back home and hopefully meet up with SierraWiskey at his local range. Or I might run up to Steel City in Birmingham to stretch her legs.

The mat in the picture is a Galatti Deluxe Shooters Mat/ Bag.
I got it from Green Mountain Tactical when they were going out of buisness and they were taking 40% off everything. If I knew how much I was ging to like it, I would have bought 3 of them!
If you shop around, you can find them for around $179 or so.

Wow, you all have some pretty high end stuff for just trainers. I on the other hand like keeping it simple. Here's some pics I just took of my trainer and will add a video as well in a minute:

There's definitely something to be said for keeping it simple.
Looks like you've gotten quite a bit of use out of that rifle! How many rounds would you say you've put down the tube?
It's pretty cool that you still have it. I've often wished I still had my first rifle.
Also, I couldn't help but notice the Transformers comforter in the background.
Not trying to break your balls, but you may want to leave that out of the "gun pics".
Some people might look at that and question the maturity level of the poster.
Just a friendly observation.

Oh good grief! I can't even put a rough estimate on that question. It used to belong to my older brother and I shot it for the first time when I was 5 and it became "mine" when I was 7. I'm almost 21 now. Even when I got my Ruger 10/22 when I was 13, I still shot the Daisy quite a bit as well. But yeah, it's really hard to put an actual number on it because my shooting habits alternated so much. There were times I'd shoot 5,000 rounds in a single week and others when I shot that in a single year. So lets narrow it down to a simple 2,500 a month. I get 450,000 rounds and even that seems like a rather low number. Trust me when I say this little rifle has been through a lot and is still going strong and most likely will be putting rabbit meat on my son's family's table in the future just like it has been doing mine.

Re: Lets see your trainers
Here is my Savage TR with a R/T 20 MOA base added. The scope is a cheap NCStar that is working until I can afford something better. The factory paint was a little tight on the barrel, so I lightly sanded the barrel channel. This exposed the wood, So I gave it to my father to camouflage and cover the exposed areas. I really haven't had a chance to fire it on a calm day yet. I am getting 2-3 inch 10 round groups at 100, but I suspect it is more accurate than that. I did get the first 4 rounds of wolf extra into a Quarter sized area at 100 during a brief lull in the wind.

It is designed to take one's attention away from the tan base and OD rings. I am thinking of ordering all future stocks in this pattern. Makes the rifle easy to find.

Here is my 40XB in it's current configuration with a Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50mm.
I am re-finishing the original walnut stock right now, so it's in a replacement lighter colored stock from another member on here.
Since I have switched over to an AE I am really trying to decide if I am going to put an AICS on the 40XB. I just really like the "original" look and feel.

Re: Lets see your trainers
I'm in the process of trying to build a trainer. I was going to go with the 10/22 but I am wondering if the .223 would be better for the increased range.
I know I want an ER Shaw Barrel, but can't make a decision on 22 VS 223

Re: Lets see your trainers
i'd say go with the .22 lr (or other rimfire) for economy reasons and that you can learn alot more in a shorter distance and more trigger time for less money.

I think you are right. I was liking the .223 as I could also use it for longer ranges. Time to start looking at building a 22

My wife just had #3, another little boy
so buying up a double stroller, diapers, clothes, and everything else has taken up all my funds lately with her being off work. Sure is nice to have the 22, I can spend a few hours at the range and only be out 20 to 50 bucks!
