Sunday Showdown

I had a terrible morning at the range. First of all, I got to the range wanting to shoot my Savage BAS-K. When I got everything set up, I looked in my 4-runner to get the rifle out and I had mistakenly (senior moment, we are allowed those) loaded my Kimber instead. Well, .308 ammo don't shoot too well in the Kimber but I decided I would look for ammo anyway. I looked and I had mistakenly loaded up my match .22 ammo (another senior moment that we are allowed). Oh well, I thought. I may as well shoot it anyway, even though I really don't need the practice, I should check the zero on the iron sights. Terrible target at 50 yds with open sights (pictured below). So, as you can see, I'm gonna have to do better tomorrow.

It's go time. Today is the day.

No more "in yo' face" talk.

Paper don't lie.

Voting is personal, so not saying how I voted.

How I see this going down:

JBPMidas shows up in the new shirt from CMP to show he's been to the gun store. Not thinking about the cold and wind.

SGMJody shows up dressed for the weather, compliments JBPMidas on the nice shirt.

Well, we did some shooting today but no match. jbp shot about 5 different brands in his Kimber. He shot Rem Target, CMP Centurian, Rem Eley Target, Wolf Extra, and Tenex. As a whole all of them shot decent. There were only a couple of 9 ring shots, which he called, but in his rifle, the CMP ammo seemed to shoot the best. After he shot, he discovered a loose front sight assembly which could explain some groups dispersed within the 10 ring. I fired 10 shots of Wolf Extra to confirm a sight change that I made after I left the range yesterday. I had perfect sight pictures but my group was dispersed more than I thought they should be for the sight pictures that I was getting. Checked my front sight assembly and it was tight but the rear ring that holds the insert in place had loosened and the insert was free floating. We had fun anyway. I could tell that he really enjoyed shooting the Kimber but we both need to mount our scopes to get a true picture of the amazing accuracy of these rifles. Then we will have our match.
