Things I saw at the range today:
1: Dude in a bowler hat, corduroy jacket, and blue dress pants shooting a G***k 19 and a R***r Mark VII
2. A guy flag the whole left side of the range with a loaded AR after a misfire.
3. Another dude that had a rubber mallet to eject the spent casings from a Re*****on 710 .30-06.
He told me it was his buddy’s gun that he borrowed to go elk hunting for the first time.
After every shot, he lifted the bolt and then hit it with the mallet to knock it back.
4. The guy next to me boasting to his buddies about his new “T-Rex” .45/70 that he bought to go ek hunting because “elk are big animals…”
On the plus side, I helped a guy and his son get his .30-06 on paper after he paid to have it “bore-sighted” at a local outdoor store. I had to move it 8 MOA down and 9 MOA right looking through the bore. He then put 3 shots 2” high in a 3/4” group.
It was an old Savage, which confirms my long time history with Savages shooting awesome.
Then I let his son shoot my CVA Cascade 6.5 CM at 200 and 300 yards.
Rang steel every time.
Then the guy next to them heard me explaining and asked if I knew anything about the “hash marks” below the crosshairs in the scope of his Ar-10, which he bought to go mule deer hunting.
5 minutes of talking and he was shooting 100-200 and then up and down a 100 yard target in 1” increments…
The best part of the day, though?
Playing with Bergara North America’s B-14 .22 rifle at 100 and 200 yards.
Stay tuned for a review.
This is one AWESOME gun.
