Went with a dear friend & fellow CFFer to DPRC to zero/verify zero optics on some of our long guns & play a bit with handguns.
My little Marlin 60 with a 2.5-7x28 Weaver still shoots little bitty groups at 25yds. Haven't shot long guns in I don't know how long & figured I'd start off with .22lr, before I started spending a dollar with every trigger pull. Love that gun.
Zeroed the RDS on my 10.5" .300BLK AR & verified that the Vortex Viper 2-7x32 on my 18" 6.8SPC AR was still 'on' at 25yds, then moved over to 100yds to fine-tune, then bang a little steel for fun. The 6.8 was just too easy to ring the 6" gong at & I couldn't quit grinning, ringing the 8" gong with the SBR & no magnification. Yeah, I know 8" at 100yds is no big deal, but my eyes have gone to hell & I can't/won't use irons past 50yds.
Got to put a few rounds through my bud's 16" Ruger Scout Rifle with the muzzle brake & one of those has moved straight to the top of my 'next' list. I'd been thinking about their American Rifle Hunter in .308, but that Scout Rifle was so light & handy, even with a scope mounted & kind of a pussycat to shoot. My OCD-ness keeps wanting to drag me toward a 'precision rifle' in .308, even though I don't have anywhere to actually shoot at 'precision rifle' distances 'n the Scout Rifle is a much better fit for any type of shooting I'd be doing that required a .308.
By the time we switched to handguns, it was hot & the only open pistol bay was uncovered, so we didn't spend a lot of time. Ran 3 mags through my LC9s with our current carry ammo (124gr +P XTPs) to check function of both the pistol & 2 mags. Recently put night sights on the G26 & ran 2 quick mags through it to make sure the sights were 'on'.
Finally shot my G34. Just a quick 2 mags at 5-7yds to see how it shot. I dig it. Time to get the Vortex Venom mounted & start spending some quality time together.
