Evening CKW.

55 Days, 4 Hours, 32 Minutes .... until the magical SGE !

I need to get a 97 cajunized and wizardized before then!
It may need to be afterwards.

Evening all!

Step it up man. Get busy.....

Called it a night on the bathroom project. Primer and paint in the morning followed by flooring. Found about 6 side adventures during the process today in that little room. Got me side tracked a little bit fixing this and that along the way.

I'm slacking hard. I still haven't sent mine off either.

30-06 is sweet, packs A LOT of punch.

Let me tell you guys and gals about Cajunized and Wizardized...

I’m building a stack of projects for AllenM and need to get off my keister while I have time. The DW A2 Commander really needs front strap checkering and the Sig 516 needs a better flash hider than what I have on it now. Then there’s some Cerakote on a Sig and... it goes on from there

I definitely add more to my list than I subtract.

I do wish that Allen could do bluing but completely understand why he doesn’t. I’ve never liked the matte blue on the A2 and would love to get either a nice satin black oxide or blue

Just stopped in to let you know you guys have made the mouse nuts with this whole rifle thing.

This is the way this family works!! If the first brother doesn't come up with a new project the next brother will. I'm trying to be the red headed stepchild.

As I have noted a few times, my accuracy with the Bergara HMR Pro had not been up to my expectations. After reading about TD's last range trip, I removed the brake (suppressor mount) from the rifle and met up again with 88 and WT today.

The first 5 shots at 100yds gave a 0.758" group including a called flyer to the right (upper target in photo), along with another group under 1" and a 3rd right at 1 MOA. Of course there were worse groups but you don't get to see those. I finally feel like I'm making good progress with the .308.

The bad news is I REALLY prefer shooting the rifle with the brake on it. Apparently that will be no more.

Obligatory photo for Carlos...

I will get a room block soon at the same place as before. That OK?

I still have nightmares from pulling overnight security last time.

And here I thought nobody cared about my crazy range trips.

Side note, I'll be retesting my 308 with and without the suppressor since I figured out barrel heat was the actual culprit. But I did swap out the brake for a flash hider (suppressor mount has a base that you can thread on a brake or flash hider). I had a brake on it before and during testing yesterday I ran it like that and hated it. I had earplugs AND electronics ear pro on, still made my ears ring. I said hell no and took the brake off right there at the range. Ran just the suppressor mount instead. I hate muzzle brakes, they're obnoxiously loud. Shooting guns is supposed to be fun, not make my ears ring and make me **** myself at the same time.

Morning all...

I'm also little by little breaking the new Bergara in. I'm not satisfied with the results thus far. I get tantalizingly close to what I want and then the group falls apart. I'm not sure yet if the barrel is still breaking in (only at ~80 rounds thus far), me not being the best with a rifle, or something else I have yet to discover. I am encouraged though that the groups have gone from a 2 - 3" average down to an inch and a half or so average. It's just frustrating when I sit down behind 88's Tikka for the first time, a gun that's not setup for me at all and can do a sub-MOA group right off the bat, but can't do the same with my own gun, all setup for me. All I know is that I'm going to keep working on it.

Was wondering about the trigger pull and the manual states 2.2lbs. Guess I should have just RTFM...

I wish I knew how the one blue job I did years ago on a CZ for Rick turned out. Would love to see how it’s doing these days... Would be a neat service to offer.

I'm thinking we should set our rifles up to fit 88 since we both shot better groups with his rifle.

Mornin folks! Girls want another morning cruise. In the Hot Rod this time.
