Nope - that's good gear, brother. You'll love it, and we'll run it. :thumbup:

98Z5V · October 18, 2023

@shepp, we'll run through rigs this time, and talk about "the why" for some of this stuff. My Long Range rig is exactly how I need it, after several changes, but for a specific reason. I know @Cunuckgaucho asked me a couple years ago to go through that rig, and we just ran out of time to do it. We'll make it a point to do, this year.

Everything has a function - or it goes. Something else will replace it.

I've got one of these guys coming. Supposedly here by Wed. the 25th.

Sightmark Wraith HD Night Vision Rifle Scope 2-16x 28mm Digital Reticle Matte Black

The shoot should be a good time and place to put it through its paces.

It felt weird unloaded, then I got it all loaded and fuck this is heavy! But after putting it back on and got it semi fitted it feels really good and I got room for snacks

Nice. I am just bringing my old gear I really haven’t had a chance to use much.

Skittles. That's where it's at. When you NEED something... it doesn't matter if you have all the wrong tools - Skittles makes you forget about that... :laffs:

Rsquared · October 24, 2023

Well, as you can tell. I'm more of a salty kinda guy rather than sweet.

insert jokes here ya savages.

MtnMike · October 26, 2023

Damn 10/22 got me looking at another 10/22 ... next thing I know, I'd confirmed an order from Bud's. Now I have to decide on rings and a scope. https://ruger.com/products/1022Sporter/specSheets/31167.html

MtnMike · October 26, 2023

Curious if any of you guys have experience with DNZ rings/mounts? Considering the integral one-piece Reaper rings for the 10/22 I just ordered.

Very nice quality. They make great stuff. You scored a pretty nice rig, man - well done!

MtnMike · October 27, 2023

@98Z5VToo lazy to lap rings on a .22 in my old age. Also, this will allow me to discard the Weaver rail adapter that comes with this particular model 10/22. Fewer connection points, fewer possible points of failure. Well learned lesson from rock climbing in my younger days. KISS.
Wish that the Nikon Prostaff rimfire scopes were still being made. Put one of those on a high end Marlin 60 I gave my wife about 20 years ago. That rifle has scored more groundhog headshots than I could count. Leaning toward the Vortex Diamondback rimfire scope 2x7-35. Less than $200. Cannot justify the cost of a US made Leupold rimfire scope for a rifle that will primarily be tasked with rodent and woodpecker control.

WTF. I guess I can justify the cost of US made Leupold for a .22. That's a lot of eye relief in an 11 oz. scope. And, I know from prior purchases that the glass in the VX-Freedom series is excellent for the $.

Ordered some pistol mags from Joe bob outfitters on Friday night, I was really surprised this morning that I had USPS delivery confirmation for Tuesday, they musta packaged and got them out the door Saturday.

shepp · October 31, 2023

Actually ended up being delivered yesterday (Monday) I’ll have to remember them in the future

Some last minute Grendel ammo for the desert meet-up. I mean, you can never have too much.

I don't remember any grendel ammo on the list tom had about your ammo stash. I am bringing plenty of the Wolf grendel ammo. My guns seem to shoot that OK and I bought several cases before Bi-dumb stopped Russian imports.

Rsquared · November 1, 2023

Yep. I already had 400 rounds shipped out to my sons place in Nevada. This was just a bonus case of another 200 rounds just because. But I appreciate the thought brother.
