Mk12Mod0, Suppressed Recce, wind, snow=FUN

[hydro556]

Went back to the range today in 30MPH winds blowing snow everywhere. Absolutely beautiful. Took my oldest daughter who promptly stole my coat.

24 degrees, and snow, couldnt ask for much better. We were shooting my Mk12Mod0 with USO 1.8-10 TPal, and my Patriot customized LTR and a buddy had his suppressed RECCE. Awesome rifle.

Was too windy to get much dope, but once we got the holdoffs for wind, we didnt have much trouble ringing the steel at 300 and 400 yrds. My daughter was probably the most consistent shot. Hit every shot she took with the RECCE at 300, about 8 straight (wind was ridiculous, but she just maintained her left hold and kept ringing it. Then she hit at about a 75% clip with my Mk12 at 400.

Here is my 16 year old shooting my buddy's RECCE.

Here is a picture of the range, had it all to ourselves.

The range is actually very nice. Especially when you have all 700 acres to yourself, like today.

When the daughter got cold, all she had to so was go in the clubhouse, lay on the leather couch and watch Direct TV, LOL.

Very nice facilities with about 6-7 different ranges. Unfortunately, we currently cant shoot past about 700.

I thought Tony said not to shoot a semi auto with a can cover on?? I guess if you went slow you would be ok.

Re: Mk12Mod0, Suppressed Recce, wind, snow=FUN

We were definitely shooting slow. Probably put less than 100 rounds total through the RECCE. I am in the process of getting my first can, so I am not sure.

The only suppressed rifles I have shot are his. Everything from 5.56 to 50 cal, he uses the covers on all of them. Will ask him about it.

Looks like a great day in the snow. Glad to see you drive a FJ - run an older 80 series LC myself.

Can do a little better on pics. No close ups though.

My PRI MK12Mod0 (upgraded with Noveske SPR barrel) and wearing a new USO 1.8-10x37 TPal. Ops Inc 12th model can in the works. Also a new Colt 6721/ACOG in the foreground

This is my buddy's RECCE. No expense spared, built to the hilt. NF 2.5-10 on it.

Will get some better pics. Once the weather improves, I am sure we will be competing to see which rifle will shoot better groups. They will hopefully both be sub MOA out to 5-600 yards. They should anyway. We will see.

More snow equals better weather to me. Supposed to start snowing again tomorrow. Bring it on.

very nice rifles, I have rifle and range jealousy. There is nothing close to that nice for ranges around me. All I can do is dream for my own land

They really are nice facilities.

Where are you? Without the profile, we are guessing.

Nice toys.

What range is that. I live in stl and have been looking for a good range. I'm stuck at 100 yds at conservation ranges. Is the stl benchrest?

Re: Mk12Mod0, Suppressed Recce, wind, snow=FUN

The range is Benchrest Rifle club in Wright City. Awesome facilities.
