Shooting Today
« on: August 26, 2021, 08:14:41 PM »
I went to my friend's range today to burn some powder, it relaxes me almost as much as reloading.
I took a T/C G2 Carbine with an MGM 21" 22LR barrel with a match chamber. A friend calls my T/Cs
erector set guns, sure doesn't affect accuracy. Next was a T/C Encore with a 24" factory barrel in
223. I need to try another scope, the scope doesn't want to track  anymore, must have had it on a
45-70. It still put five shots touching, in the wrong place but not bad in a 20 mph wind. Next was
my CZ 527FS in 22 Hornet, a slick little carbine that still puts the shots where you want them. Last
was a Savage Striker in 22LR, 12 shots in a ragged hole less than a quarter in diameter. All shots
were at 50 yards in a 20 MPH wind. I am not a target shooter, more a plinker that enjoys an outing
and burning some powder when I can. My friend's range is 1,000 yards, 50 yards as about as far
as I can lug a target stand, the "big boys" shoot the 1,000. Stay Safe and shoot often!

Made me go look up the Striker to see what it is.  Looks like it would be fun. I assume it is very accurate?

Yeah, when I hunker down behind that scoped rifle, I forget everything but the target and crosshairs.
Very relaxing.

It may have been the luck of the draw but both of my savage Strikers, 22LR and 22WMR are accurate. The 22LR likes Mini Mags and the 22 WMR does well with CCI 40GR TMJs. I wish I could get out to shoot more but I have too much to do and not enough time. I saw a 22LR Striker for sale on RFC recently.

I need to go myself,  maybe this
next week and check some zeros.
One 22 needs to be sighted. Only
boresighted so far. 
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

Burnt gunpowder is therapeutic, helps one relax.

It is that. I have several friends who join me when I go to the range to burn powder for the same reason.

These days there's only the
public ranges around here
anymore, and it's more butt
puckering than relaxing with
the magazine dumping mall
ninjas and cul de sac commandoes
all around.  I could drive 3 hours
and shoot in solitude,  but.  . .
The last time I went to one
here local,  everybody had on
one of those MOLLE tac vests
and all the chic " operator "
clothing.  I enjoy carrying a
444 and popping off a few of
those to confuse everybody
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

I shoot at a club range that I belong to. Once in awhile another member shows up, but our morning shoots are normally just us. I prefer it that way for sure.
