Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

What steel is still out there at Acme? Specifically, is the ~500ish yard steel still there at the end of the road?

Anyone else interested in joining up on this little get together Saturday? Anyone above with a "?" want to confirm?

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

I'm good for Saturday, with the provision that if my wife gets sick, I'll of course bow out to take care of her. I'll explain it to ya'all when I see you.

I ordered 6 pieces of steel, but don't expect to receive them for another week or so. I don't have any hangers even if the steel arrives today..

 

[JC Steel]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

unknown, we are going to have some hangers in the near future as well. You will love them!!

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

I have a big steel silhouette target I can bring for the 1000+ distance, it has it's own stand so we just need to plant it down in some dirt.
What time in Sedro Wooley??

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

That would be awesome man!

If anyone else wants to bring some steel it would be greatly appreciated.

Let's shoot for 8am to avoid traffic and get in and set up reasonably early. The address is below. If that's too early for anyone let me know. I'd like to get breakfast somewhere in-between though.

However long it takes to get from AmPm to there. Unknown and I have only been there once, and I kind of remember how to get there, but if you know the way MG and wanted to lead us in the charge should BW be unable to make it I would appreciate it.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

I could do that. I'll keep an eye on the thread here and if BW can't make it then I'll meet up with you guys.

Thanks

I will be going out to Upper Nisqually with Mk12 Mod 0 on Friday, so I'll bow out on going out Saturday too.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Anyone else along with Muttt want to carpool here in Kitsap?

 

[Unknown]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Broker,
If you need to use my Kestrel, Exbal, or other kit, let me know. I'm sure we can figure out a way to get the stuff to you.

 

[Muttt]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Broker,

That's fine. Just let me know where and when to meet ya. What are you driving? We can take the rig with the best mileage and split the cost of gas.

Unknown are you not coming? If you are, I'll bring that stuff you let me borrow. I hope you can make it.

He can't make it this time around. I'm driving my 98 Nissan Pathfinder. I can pick you up at your place early or you can meet me early in Silverdale somewhere.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Sedro Wooly at 8 means we need leave around 5 right??

 

[Muttt]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

My truck is a dodge with a Magnum V-8 ..... you get the better mileage ..... LOL.

We could meet at Target. No sense driving all the way out to my place ...... I'm all the way down at the end of Olympic View.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

just got back from benchmark barrels in Arlington. Some guys showed up while I was there with a bunch of scope rings and benchmark bought a bunch of them, they are called B A Gear and seem really well made, I bought a set of 30MM low for my .260,
the guys at benchmark only carry those now as they said they were the best rings they ever saw.
Anybody ever heard of those rings, they weren't cheap??

 

[mjh30]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

I do remember seeing the prototype for these rings, they looked pretty innovative even then, so Benchmark likes them, that's a good sign.

 

[leadbullet]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

those guys said they were made in WA state and that is a plus for me. I like the pins system, keep the cap from pinching the tube and they are matched top and bottom so you cannot mix them up.
I also noticed that when i torqued the cap screws, the scope stayed perfectly level compared to the other brand I used before, If they work out I may switch all my rings to those.

You gonna bring them on Saturday to look at?

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

yes, I just talked to one of the guys that makes them and he is sending me a couple sets to show you guys at the shoot this saturday.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Looks like the weather is going to be 40% chance or rain, 45 degrees and 12 mph winds. Looks like the weather might be a little hit or miss on Saturday.

perfect for figuring out the wind and get some good data

Lol... The weather will be less than sunny it would appear and the rainfall is like a 2000 yard shot... cross your fingers. I understand if there's anyone that wants to cancel. I'm still going to go though as bad weather is good training weather for a newby like me

 

[Muttt]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Broker,

As much as I hate to say this, I am not going to be able to make it out this Saturday. Something personal came up. Too bad, I really wanted to shoot with you guys. I've never shot to 1000 before, and this would have been a good opportunity. No, it's not because of the weather (I have gortex) ..... LOL. We live in WA ... the weather is the weather.

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Hey Puget Sound guys, Steve from Tacoma here. I'm coming from a benchrest background and looking to enter the tactical arena. I was just wondering if you knew of any rifles for sale, preferrably local, but I'd take shipped too - I'm looking for a nice custom action repeater, detach mag, in a non-magnum cartdridge. 260/6.5CM/6.5x47L/243 ideally, but let me know if you have anything close.

Thanks,
Steve in Tacoma

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

What's up guys! Thanks to Unknown for sending me here from WAguns. I was over there poking around without much luck. I just moved here from socal where I was a part of a precision rifle club that had 600 yard matches every month. I love shooting matches. It seems like there's quite a few people interested in practical rifle in this thread. I'm really ready to commit more time and effort to building my skills in the next year. I'd love to head out there this weekend but won't be able to. Here's a motivational pic! Me at my last match. Later

Welcome!

 

[Unknown]

Re: Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

Heathenrifleman,

Welcome!
Upper Nisqually sportsman's club has a 550 yard range where you can shoot any time there isn't a match.. And so far, they don't mind if I mount clay birds on cardboard backers to shoot at.. They are kinda hard to hit at 550 yards as they are only about 4 inches showing.

If you are looking for somewhere to shoot, upper nisqually doesn't have a waiting list to join. Most of the clubs with 600 yard ranges either have a long waiting list, or they rarely use the 600 yard range.

Hopefully, Broker will find us something around here soon.

We would like to find a place to shoot, but want to make sure that we aren't breaking any laws, or trespassing. The rifles most of the people here shoot are just too damned expensive to have them seized because we were shooting somewhere we shouldn't have been. So we are trying to do this right, and make sure we have all the necessary permits, or permission to shoot before we start shooting somewhere where we may end up with legal difficulties.
