Not missing the cold weather :) Wanted to post a pic of the finished product with a glass upgrade that I picked up tonight... Anybody want a Horus Blackbird cheap in an Armalite mount let me know.

EasyEJL Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 How cheap is cheap? Its still probably outside my price range. I wouldn't need the armalite specific mount either (didn't realize they had a different mount) as it would go on a custom LR308

bubbasks Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Rahaaghas off of road 6. Chucker and pheasant hunting, sporting clays,5 stand, pistol and rifle range and they put some longer range up by the sub-guage course. Steel at 200 600 and ~1000 (havent gotten laser to tag it but scope dope lays it about there) I need to park truck at shooting line and walk out to target and laser the truck
bubbasks Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Just gotta wait till people in fields are done and clear then we shoot at yhe top steel
Robocop1051 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 I'm going to look into this range. My biggest love for bird hunting is chucker and pheasant.
bubbasks Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 Yep its just a greqt place to get in all the shooting you want then bs and have cold one

I wouldn't need the armalite specific mount either (didn't realize they had a different mount) as it would go on a custom LR308 I'm selling the Horus Blackbird in the Armalite brand 1-piece mount for $400 (+$13 shipping). Scope is in great condition but illuminated retical isn't very bright. I never used the illumination.
EasyEJL Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 dang, that's a great price. I'm leaving on vacation next weekend though, so money is tight right now. If you haven't sold it by the time I'm back, i'll see how much money I have left :)
