Maggie’s What's Your View II

[SCRAM2013]

I feed. Wiser shows up once in a while. I'm affraid he might be gone permanently from last bear season.

Edit: I attempted to add a video of a black bear trying to get my bird/squirell feeder.

There are several things good happening here. It’s cold and grey (no mirage). A proper tacticool shooting mat (moving blanket ??). An AI in its proper environment (see above). And some really solid shooting! Did raising the scope help? I’ve thought of doing the same.

Thank you, it was a good day for shooting, despite it being on the cool side (19). We like to say there's no bad weather, only bad clothes.

In regards to the extra scope height, I'm thinking yes, it will help. With only 30 rounds it's to early to give a definite answer, more rounds at longer ranges will give a better perspective. I'm also planning on adding the AT adjustable butt plate before spring. Even with the rifle dead square and the reticle plumb, I have a slight left leaning cant. I put a XLR stock on the RPR, the adjustable cant made a world of difference. Updates as they happen.

Planning on checking road conditions to the 1,000 gravel pile later. 100 is boring.

I thought the way to go was with the shortest rings you could use. What does raising the ring height do? Raising the ring seems like it would affect check weld.

Send some of that weather this way! ?
We had a big shoot planned today. Don’t think we will hit our 1000 yard target today. Didn’t expect to see 2 inches of snow, sitting up here wait now but keeps snowing like a bastard.

It does raise the cheekweld. I raise the cheek pad accordingly. What I'm striving for is get my face in a more upright position rather than tilting it when behind the rifle. Doing so also has the benefit of a more upright neck position, hence less neck strain which is the final goal. It doesn't help I have a wide face.

My RPR has 1.25" rings. The AT rings are 1.42". It seems crazy high but I believe it's going to work. At my age one looks for every advantage.

Chickens have arrived. Got the brooding box all buttoned up and 5 new chicks to call it home. The cat is in love and lays on her back and watches them. Hasn’t even tried to swat or get them yet

 

[powdahound76]

Wish I had a spot for chickens. I will one of these days. I know they are work and can be a pain and having fresh eggs and real chicken vs the stuff from Costco sounds pretty darn good!!

Many, many hours in this red box.

If you ever decide to sell this, please let me know. I have a friend whose son wants to be an engineer. Very smart young man, 10 years old, already in AP math classes. I buy him every Erector set that I can find, and he spends hours working with them.

 

[1J04]

29 in spots this morning on the way in. Fog, then clear. Road in spots was total hell. Literally Hockey Rink kinda stuff. Had a little fish tail coming into a corner after being on good surface. Puckered up just a tad. Careful out there fellas.?

Those are gonna be really really small eggs bro. Gonna make Hummingbird eggs look like Ostrich eggs....

 

[roostercogburn98]

I told my daughter I had got them while she was in school and they were in the oven waiting for her. She wasn’t impressed with that humor. Later we had a talk and she said something about eating chicken wasn’t funny. I just had to point out she was eating a grilled chicken wrap from Chic Fil A

Tried to snatch some hummingbird eggs last year. Sneaky little shits though

Sorry sir, this is NFS. It was my Dad's, given to me about 60 years ago.

Check Ebay. I did to look for missing parts, large selection of complete sets and parts.

Good on you for encouraging this young man. Makes one wonder how many careers where born out a Erector red box.

Now that looks like a good ole time. For the 54r were you just shooting a mosin or something cooler ?

 

[Mooseknuckles]

It was a good time. As for the 7.62x54r it was something way cooler then a mosin, had a cycle rate of 750-800 rounds per
It was a UK vz 59 machine gun.
The good ole m60 made an appearance as well.

I didn’t get any pics of it, it was a UK vz 59 machine gun.

And the real time videos were fucking AWESOME!!!!!!! Thx Moose, you crazy Bastard.

Debating on new chassis/stock for the 6.5 just not sure if I want to add a crap ton of weight to it. But she needed a good going over and check anyway

Lol it was a kick in the ass.
the next shoot is in august. You will have to come out for it.
The tripod we had the Barrett on, I was pretty impressed with. That thing was pushing 35 pounds and for being one of the cheap bog tripods I am it held up very well.

Gonna have to take you up on it. I've never shot an entire herd of Elk in one day, ever.

 

[Mooseknuckles]

If you're gonna whack 'em and stack 'em I can send you this.

You might want to drill a hole in it though.
