On 3/22/14, James (he of Bidet Shoot Fame) and I went to the AR-15.com Tennessee Hometown Forum Spring Shoot put on by Precision Multigun in Cookeville, TN. It was fantastic, problems with my new Remington 700 notwithstanding. There are actually several ranges on the property. The first one we went to had a 230 yard… Read More »
Looks like I’m going to be going the the NRA convention. I guess the big question is to pack the kilts or not.
Alternate title: Why you need BUIS 😀 This rifle was one of the ones at the ARFCOM TN shoot. Pretty, ain’t she? Slidefire, Magpul MVG, Magpul MOE Handguard. Beautiful. But there’s a problem. The EOTech (either an XPS2 or an XPS3, I can’t tell) had it’s lower piece of glass just kind of banging around… Read More »
When I made my initial post about the ARFCOM Hometown shoot, I realized that I hadn’t posted any updates about what I did to the Remington 700 AAC-SD I bought in January, despite having taken several rounds of pictures. Bad blogger. No cookie! So here goes: The first thing I did was get an EGW… Read More »
but this was totally worth it. AAR with pictures and a couple of videos to come later this week. Spoiler: My most recent purchase did not do so well. Kinda embarrassing, actually. Me? Oh I was fine hittin 8″ steel plates at 650yds. With someone else’s .308.
So… Wizard has talked to the owner of the range that hosted the Bidet shoot last year… and I have some bad news… He says no more toilets as targets. Clean up was just too much of a mess (yes, we cleaned up after ourselves, but I’m guessing we missed some chunks). That said, he’s… Read More »
This morning I saw a headline that said “Teen shot and killed near school.” I remember it because 1) it apparently happened on a Saturday and 2) it said near school, not at school. Since we seem to have a functional Illegal Moms Against Gun Ownership (or whatever they call themselves now) chapter, I expected… Read More »
So a while back, I was watching this video of Ryan Cleckner setting up a scope on a Remington 700: I thought that was a neat trick with the wood cheek riser. It stuck with me. When I threw together the “assassins kit in pretty much every action movie in the 80s” as commenter Michael… Read More »
In my previous post, I mentioned that I had ordered a combination rifle case and shooting mat to go with my new boltie. Well, it’s here, and it’s awesome. Back when I did Appleseed a couple of years ago, I didn’t have a shooting mat so I just used an old comforter. By lunch the… Read More »
Over the holidays I sold the FDE Magpul Fanboy AR I built last year. The plan was to take the money from that sale and put it towards an AAC MPW 9″ AR factory SBR. Look at the parts on that puppy and tell me it’s not worth it. It’s a great rifle at a… Read More »
