Greetings Comrades from Central Obamastan,,, upon reflection on some neglect and even sundry minor corrosion of myself, and my small battery? (well not so minor is my case?) I've been dragging assorted pistols, revolvers, and rifles to the farm to burn some powder and rubles.... the addition of a 5" M&P .40 marked my first excursion in a "plastic fantastic", I really liked it, but it threw more of a "pattern" than a group...
Any way, further reflection on a couple of older Mauser 98's, a Winchester 94, and my sole AR, a 5.56 Rock River Predator Pursuit with a newer Redfield Battlezone, an amazing glass, sadly discontinued after a very short run...
Led me to the conclusion that my Husqvarna 4100 Light Weight in 30-06 lived up to its nick name given by a close friend, who fired a single round and pronounced he was giving my lovely little rifle the name of "ass-KICKER", and that it needed a much better glass. That issue was resolved by moving the beautiful old Leopold 2 X 7 off my 1951 FN style rifle that would become the Browning Safari in later production... so at least now the ass kicker is gaining on accuracy,,, the Leopold will likely need to be removed and some manner of nail polish or some such, applied between the scope and rings to keep it from walking. I bought a new Nikon Glass for the FN, but the bolt wouldn't open with out hitting the objective, so off came the Nikon.... and a search for some taller rings, for that maniacal genius Maynard Bhueler's, beautifully machined, but maddeningly complex, bases and rings....
I returned the Nikon, as it was out of character with the FN, and found a lovely Leopold 3.5 X 10 X 50, yes you're right I am crazy, and after pulling my hair out, found a set of Beuhler rings from a Weatherby, negotiated from a princely 125 Bucks down a paupers wage of 85 bucks, they work beautifully...
Of course the 5.56 would be totally habit forming, with it slik little 18" barrel, and light weight, not to mention that its a little drill, all except for those little bitty holes it leaves in the target??? dissapointing, at my age, its much more satisfying to not need your magnifying glass to spot those little bitty pin pricks....
so here I am, on 308AR. com,,, after perusing the inter webs, I need a small loan, as sadly??? ( I can't explain it, its NOT rational), (well, what I think I can't live without) is about 3 G's, and machined from a solid bar of 7075 aluminum, "yes, I know that sounds pathetically familiar to my archery addiction, so give me a sales pitch, or offer up your super wazoo Wilson Bill et rifle at a veritable steal, go ahead, I dare you! lol
if you got one, but you desperately need something else? what can you lose??
