Go shoot tomorrow, finally!

[m25operator]

Alfsuave got me juiced, I have been trying to go shoot 2 new Ar builds for Months, Money, time, crappy weather, getting up too late etc... all lame. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the mid 70's, but windy, but a cold front happening Sunday, so off I go. Plus I have some AMU 77 grn ammo to shoot in my space gun, and I'm expecting good things. Will try to get pics of targets and the new babies. One AR was built for U.S. service rifle, with freefloated barrel under normal looking handguards and want to know how it will do.

Wish me luck.

LUCK!


Anyway, have fun and let us know how it all works out.

Have fun.  I wish it would stop with the off and on rain......oh, and warm up some.   I'm a fair weather shooter.

Good luck. Keep 'em on the paper.

I was going to rub it in that we are in the 50's to 70's with most days without much wind, beautiful shooting weather.  But I am not.

You did.  It's warm HERE today, 23 and the wind is only gusting to about 20 mph

I'm back and had a pretty good day, temperature was 80ish, with a 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock wind, gusting at times to 15 mph, blew my scope caps off at one time that were laying on the bench, but I'm reasonably pleased, both of my scoped AR's shot around 1 MOA for 5 shots, with some real small clusters, but the overall is what counts.

The iron sight rifle I built to U.S. Service rifle specs, did pretty well too, took about 8 shots to sight in at 100 yards, this is a brand new build and nothing has been tested except headspace, it's a little rough, working the bolt, but cycled like a champ, and shot well enough to give me hope. Waiting on Momma to get home with the camera, to hopefully take some pics in the daylight, We got about 30 minutes left.

PS, left the range and got about 6 miles away when I realized that my shooting box, with my ammo, targets, Kowa spotting scope was still on the firing line.   Made the big U turn, got back in about 20 minutes and all was well.

Ain't it funny how the return drive to fetch something forgotten seems twice as long as it did the first time around?   

Glad everything went well.

I'm feeling the same pain. I have had this put together for 2 weeks and It may be another week before I can try her out. 







Oh yeah and it's in 6.8SPC

Very lovely.
