THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[patience0830]

Morning folks

Started going through my 223 brass last night and sorting some of it out. I'm currently using Lake City and Norma brass for my 69gr and 77gr hand loads in my Howa mini action rifle. Looks like I have plenty of that brass for additional batches, at least another 150rds for each load. I was doing hand loads for the Noveske AR, but I find the process more enjoyable for a bolt gun.

In addition to getting reloading going again, I think I need to get back to practicing self-defense / CQB training along with basic rifle marksmanship skills, like using a sling in the various positions (prone, kneeling, standing) and shake the rust off so to speak. I've gotten too complacent the last few years since my focus turned more towards precision rifle shooting.

Perishable skills. I got on a bicycle this morning and rode about a mile. Legs need work. Same problem with staying in practice on the AR. No time.

Hey-O, CZickos ! This wildfire smoke is ridiculous ..... doesn't Canada know how to fight wildfires !?!

About as well as California! And its not so much about fighting the fire but libs preventing forest managers from managing forests to minimize fire impact. This includes prescribed controlled burns to eliminate forest floor fuel, selective timber harvest and fire breaks.

Off soapbox!

Agree. First bike ride this year was tough. Especially with a less than stellar left knee.

. A movie we all need to see.

I did a concert here in Des Moines back in the 2000's just when the Passion of the Christ came out.
Jim Caveziel spoke at that concert.
I got to meet him in the green room for quite a spell and then prayer with him\for him before his talk and after my music.
He was very tall and had hands like a giant. He was an impressive fellow.

what's really REALLY scary is I just saw a video taken from a high altitude plane above those fires.

ALL of those fires STARTED AT THE SAME TIME..!!

No lightning strikes -- No cloud cover.

I'll try and dig up that video....

Afternoon all
Spend my morning fixing someone else's p**s poor work. I just can't tell you how much having to do that irritates me.

Good day y'all.

Dropped my truck off for estimate/repair after the deer strike. Driving a Chevy Traverse for the loaner. Very boring vehicle.

Mcapo’s late night gun stuff continues.

Pulled a Razor 4.5-27 off the Vudoo (gmctr’s fault) and replaced it with a Golden Eagle Vortex scope (Karen’s fault) and some new Area 419 MATCH (ok…my fault) rings.

Like everything from 419 VERY impressed with the quality. These rings are awesome but not sure I can really justify the premium. Probably would have bought a set of Spuhr Hunter rings but out of stock everywhere.

The manufacturing process is an interesting approach.



I think it has some merit though still a bit of a sales pitch. The ring are spot on concentric. I mean SPOT ON! I suspect the ring are far more concentric than the scope body though I don't have an ideal way to measure concentricity of something as large as a scope. What do you guys think? Hype or Not?

I think I’m going to like this set up…

Great set up, at this rate, you can sight her in next summer

Listen, kid, lets get something straight, right here and right now.

Well......you are probably right...

My DIL tagged a deer in Wabash county last week. That is one more than her husband did all last deer season.

Well, back with the new Sig P365 X Macro TacOps. Pretty cool little thing as it has a magwell and extended slide release, on top of an extra mag for 4 total. Since the mags are evidently made of solid gold and painted black, that's nice (a jab at the $60 price for each). After picking this up from a super cool INGO member, went further down Rockville Rd to meet up with AllenM to pick up yet another red dot from him (this time a 507k x2) to go on this bad boy. After an embarrassing amount of time figuring out how to swap the mag release that the previous owner had made wrong handed, I'm finally good to go. Red dot is mounted and it's ready for it's first range trip...

Sigh...rules...pics or it didn't happen.

They have so many P365 variations now, I had to look up that model. Pretty slick set of features. I like the magwell and extended slide release.

Those mag releases are tricky.

Parabellum is right there just about next to Allen.

IKR, I'll take pics at some point. Yeah, almost went to Parabellum, but I was hungry so went to eat lunch instead and had to get back to lunch. I'll either hit MCF&G in the next day or two, or wait until my normal Monday range trip.
