Got two bills already for which some reps need to be sharly rapped acorss the knuckles.
Oh...I was just listening for my pager to ring. But no one sent me a message from here. :-(
Sitting here waiting for it to snow. It's been trying all afternoon but almost nothing at all.
I've been busy too. I ran some errands, changed the water in my fish tank, cleaned the apartment, and am back to working on my paper while FReeping. :-)
it looks pretty wintry down here today, but snow is beyond the range of probable outcomes.
I wish... I miss snow.
we don't ring pagers here, we stune beebers!
LOL! I'll have to get out my stuner then. ;-)
Rifle is a 20" 1/8 twist DPMS Super-bull barreled (1" cryoaccurized) Panther Southpaw. Stock trigger, bolt, and firing pin. Thing needs a trigger job bad. Feels like yanking back on a 12lbs trigger. Scope is a 6X42 Bushnell knock-off. Shooting from a bench on sandbags. Would have preferred my bi-pod, but it was too high with the scope to clear the underside of the shooting benchs sunshade. Goofy set up.
It's a half-MOA capable rifle. Junk ammo was Wolf 55gr Hollowpoint. Good ammo today was some UltraMax 55gr Soft Point I picked up. Normally, I shoot my best with Gold Match FMJ Remington loads. No FMJ at this range due to a lawsuit by their new neighbors who don't like having to move in next to an already established shooting range. Wind was quartering the range from 2 to 8 o'clock at 5-10MPH and fairly steady. I was pulling 4" groups with the Wolf aftering getting the right dope on the scope. Switched to the UltraMax and they can down inside 1" with the same dope. I'd say it made QUITE a difference.
I'm thinking either a McCormick 2-stage drop-in set to 3.5 lbs, or even a JP 4 lbs single stage and I could repeat todays shooting groups at 300 yrds.
I have a report I need to be working on too. But that comes after I work on these bills.

OK... weird. I hit post once. Go figure...
what is its caliber? .223"?
deja vu all over again?
I've had that happen before.
Currently checking out a couple websites on tuning up a stock trigger. Looks like my best bet is sinking the cash into a JP fire control group. Just get the whole thing. AR's aren't noted for having in-ordinately fast lock times, but mine is fairly crisp already. It just has a LOT too much trigger pull.
And 2-1/2 minutes apart. Odd...
*you really ought to have doubleposted that reply ;)*
I haven't. Most odd.
LOL! Next time. ;-)
definitely get the whole group.
check out Bushmaster for what they offer - everything I have got from them has been top-notch.
