A beautiful looking rifle sir

Will be buying factory ammo for now to build up brass collection, but just checked and local shop carries the Berger 140 Hybrids. Berger also has a 144 and 153 hybird trarget to try. Hornandy has the 140,144 and 147 in their line up to try

Herbert Wesley McBride was a Captain in the Twenty-first Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. He was a sniper and commander of a machine gun unit known as the “Emma Gees.” He was also the author of two books on the war: “A Rifleman Went To War” (1933) and “The Emma Gees” (1918)...When the war started, he volunteered in a Canadian rifle company in Ottawa because he wanted to see action as quickly as possible. He was commissioned as an officer, but was reduced to a private due to several drunken incidents. He shipped to England for training and then to the Western Front, where he participated in battles around Ypres and the Somme throughout 1916. In his book, “A Rifleman Went To War,” he recounts killing more than 100 German soldiers as a sniper. This book is highly regarded by students of riflery, it’s mandatory reading in the U.S. Marine Corps Sniping School. It is also considered one of the best first-person accounts of World War I, often being compared favorably to “Storm of Steel” by Ernst Junger. Armed with a Ross rifle and a telescopic sight, he kept notes on how ballistics were affected by such externals as temperature, humidity, wind, and other changes in weather and lighting conditions. He improved upon techniques of camouflage and concealment and developed methods of fooling the enemy as to a sniper’s exact location. All these techniques were passed on and used by snipers around the world. The Canadian Ross rifle excelled as a sniper rifle but as a general front line infintry weapon it was not the best choice.

It's sitting at 18.4lbs but only 8.35Kg which makes it sound lighter the bipod will add another 110z once added

Hopefully you'll come and shoot it this fall...

I do have a WK180( Canadian rifle based on AR180 design) that could use a makeover

The retical

I happen to like the green/grey combo I picked out for her.

Guess what was waiting for me when I got home from work... just a teaser picture , I'll get get better along with some close up pictures

No experiance with that annealer. but for another idea and some reading

Well if you're looking for a class might I suggest looking at Rob Furlong's in Edmonton 12-13hrs north of you,especially with how strong the USD is compared to CAD. From March 2002 until November 2009, Rob held the world record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat, at 2,430 m (2,657 yd)

Been hosing off some of the stuff on the back lawn, I wonder if I'll get some of the orange or yellow desert plants sprounting this summer.

Currently no at the moment, the only one that might be an issue depending on the specifics is my Kodiak( Canadian built AR-180 style rifle). Now if my ARs get realeased from house arrest and they can't enter Wa. I'll have to enter through the free state of Idaho for the shoots.

Be glad the founding father's had the foresight to add the 2nd amendment. Be wary when the government says they have no interest in taking away your guns but to go ahead and register them.

Saved to read after I get caught up cleaning the Arizona sand out of my stuff.

Thanks for finding that story, it's important to bring these stories to light.

Hoping you have gone through the worst of it. Sad to hear about the goat.

Sure go ahead and make the rest of us look lazy...

Similar here, can even get discounts on bulk( 10lbs) powder purchases. Pistol and small rifle primers are harder to find than an honest politician

Glad to hear the issue has been solved.

Got to say at work "look our weather is just like California"
