HE SAID HE WAS GONNA DO IT!!! <lmao> <laughs> :hethan:

Mike, getting busy on the XD-40: Steel divider targets placed at the bases of bushes out here - see if you can find them all... Overall, it was a perfect range day. Well, almost perfect. It would have been great without all that mud, and "floating away" stuff... <lmao>

Jake, working on some kneeling/squating position firing... He's not bad at all... Various bags of hardware:

Had a pretty long pallet at work, so I ripped that thing apart for the 2x4 in it. Had some old shelving units and dividers atr work that were being thrown out, so I took the metal dividers. I had a plan. Steel targets, with frame and stand: This is what the 45-70 does to the steel dividers... Backside of the steel, with a "graze" on top... 5.56 hole, two .308 Win holes, and a 45-70 hole...

Never was an issue for you down there - I know your Sheriff. He signs. <thumbsup>

Every range trip from here on out needs to start like this:

Wow, good thing you guys didn't come out here today and shoot - it was miserable. Mike and I were pushing the little low-riding Nissan 2WD truck out of holes left and right, while Jake was steering - we almost didn't get out. There was mud everywhere, and we actually thought we might have to float out... It was an experience from hell. I don't know how we did it. Here's the worst section of mud that we found - well, that I had time to take a picture of, since we were busy pushing a low-riding 2WD Nissan around... <lmao> Fuckers, making excuses... :fawkdance:

We duct-taped a maxipad to his shoulder for today... <lmao>

We've been bullshitting the whole time, telling stories! We're heading out now, and setting up. Fog should be burned off sometime, and if it's not, we're shooting anyway... <thumbsup>

Ooooohhh, I had a WEIRD FEELING!!! Mike never did confirm or deny whether he was out for this one - he was committed a long time ago, just like alot of guys were. Everyone started dropping last week, with the recent excuses in the last 2 days... Mike is here, chilling. We're waiting for the fog to lift, and we're shooting. Got about at least an hour to wait, so that gives us plenty of time to talk schit about you guys that backed out... <lmao>

Fog right now, waiting for it to burn off... Then I'm slinging lead.

Fullsize truck + small-truck V6 engine = Suck. <lmao> I know you have to hate that thing...

Wore Seiko dive watches for years, still have all of them. The oldest one is from 1987. I wear G-Shocks now, and have killed about a half-dozen of them over the years. The watch never stops working - I rip the band mounts apart, or something similarly ridiculous like that. The first time I broke the schit out of one of the Seiko watches was when I switched over to G-Shock watches. Based on the G-Shock price, I don't care if I kill them. Based on how tough they really are, I don't mind when one of them croaks, and gets ripped apart... <lmao>

You're welcome over here anytime brother. We'd shoot if you come over, just because it would be crazy not to - but you don't have to just come over for a shoot. <thumbsup> Looks like I gotta take the 45-70 Challenge all on my own in the morning. I'll get it on video. Multiple-steel-target engagements.

Damn, that is one good looking rifle, man. <thumbsup>

Yep, leave it on. 80,000 hours of use from the single AA battery. You can pull 500,000 hours of use from it in the Night Vision settings. No schit... <thumbsup>

If I send you the Gear Sector GS2P, do you think you can modify it? Do the pink weave over top of it? This is how it's set up: I still want your pink sling, as well... :)) Just wondering how much cord you have... <thumbsup>

No mud at my location - the shoot location. Smooth sailing all the way to the mountain base. I'm going anyway. Jake and I will shoot, and send you lazy bastards some videos. Mike, you in, brother? I was going to ask one of you guys to bring a table (I only have one), but I guess that won't matter.

I still like the EOTech over the Aimpoint, and like the differences between the two. I'm glad Aimpoint has moved to the 2MOA dot over the larger dots. I like the EOTech holograph - that thing will appear in a busted, broken sight window, and the reticle is great, IMHO. I just wish EOTech could master that battery life the way Aimpoint has. 80,000 hours on some models... :eek: Both are fantastic brands.

I did read your first post...

^^^ Just like my other reply - good enough reference for me. I'll be picking one up. <thumbsup>

^^^ Good enough reference for me. <thumbsup>

As the saying goes - size does make a difference... <lmao>

Put in a new battery. Turn your sight on. Don't ever turn your sight off. Change your battery 8 years from now. Yeah, that $hit just happened. <thumbsup>

Stay away from FleaBay for firearms parts. You probably bought some airsoft-grade junk. Why do people not learn this? Buy your firearms parts from a reputable firearms, or firearms parts vendor. Pay what they cost. Those parts will work. If, by some chance they don't work, that reputable vendor will take care of you. FleaBay won't take care of you. I'm off my rant now, until the next time someone brings up a topic that their parts "that are the same as xxx brand, except for the logo" don't work like they're supposed to.
