Pretty much, some folks got a place on the Lake, others in the mountains, greycat just has to stroll across the street. We really hope we don’t find him in the street someday, he just doesn’t take traffic seriously.

Evening Miss Rose - have you checked out http://www.krtraining.com/ ? Appears the CHL in TX is a 10 hour course.

Just .38 spl. so far for us. Got a lot of lead .38s mostly semi-wadcutters as well as lots of .38 brass so the choice was easy. Until the recent run up in ammo prices, it didn’t make a lot sense to me to reload 9mm; now it does, just haven’t started yet.

There is no way my AR can match your AI in long range accuracy... but I’ll make the varmints tremble where’er I go...

No (four-legged) varmints around here for me to use it on. I'll just have to satisfy myself with making paper targets and water jugs tremble.

I guess I'll wait for my buddy to go to the SHOT Show. He's never failed me, because there all all sorts of deals and "hot off the press" offers there. That's how I got my Glock 17, which was part of the first lot of 100 allowed into the country, and might have been the last lot, too. Same thing with my two-digit-serial-number Steyr AUG.

That is some scope you’re getting. Looked it up since I wasn’t familiar with that one. Bet that one has some beautifully ground glass. Six hundred yards is right fur piece.

Been reading up on Trijicon, ACOG, Aimpoint, Eotech, Holosite, etc. and the like on a couple of message boards. Interesting discussions.

That is one of the biggest redsquares I’ve ever seen posted. :-) Specs look serious, varmits are in trouble now. Nice scope, great rifle. Now to develop the perfect round. Congrats to you, Sir.

Now that is a great picture. Getting ready to pounce, unless it gets distracted. We should be glad they usually have a short attention span. Leastways, ours do.

The thumbnails look great. The bigger images are still large red squares.

May I suggest the Magpul MIAD for the ultimate in customizing the grip on your AR? You can configure it to your optimal comfort level.

Gremlins are messin’ with ya. Nice bright squares though. :-) Nope, didn’t get an email.

Spent some quality time with ammo locker today, checking loads, calibers, decent inventory, more than I ‘need’ yet less than I ‘want’. Guess you know that feeling.

Just came in, walked gypsy, dead-headed the daylilies, the orange, purple, yellow ones are just coming on, the purple cone-flowers are getting ready to. Dang, they are tall, were talking five feet. Should be quite stunning when they bloom.
