Say hello to my new little friend. For years I have always wanted a .22 revolver. But I also wanted one that comes with an second cylinder to shoot 22 Magnum. Even though there was several times I could of bought one, I could not justify buying a gun. I have plenty of guns, and as my wife says. I don't 'NEED' another gun. However, some things happened. First, someone gave me 4 boxes of 22 Mag ammo. Now I need at gun that can shoot it. I was also waiting on a check from my phone system consultant because I did some work for him. So I told my wife once that extra money comes in, and I have the ammo, I am going buy that gun. So on Thursday I got the check. I heard that gun shops were running out of guns and ammo. So I called around, and found a shop that had the gun I wanted and for a price that wasn'tView attachment 409920 marked up. I went, and bought the gun. Of course he couldn't get through for the background check (he said he wasn't able to get through for two days) so I paid for the gun and told him call me when he gets trough and I'll come back and pick it up. The gun shop was just down the street from my inlaws, so we went to their house to pay a visit. Just as we were leaving, he called and said he got through and I can pick up my new gun . If you are friends with me on facebook, you can see a live streamed video of my wife and I shooting it at a friends farm. Video quality is poor because we are in the middle of nowhere and cell service is not the best.
Love your DOPE sheet.

Like my Heritage, suggest you check the screws for tight once in a while. Was shucking the empty's once and had a screw fall in my hand.Say hello to my new little friend. For years I have always wanted a .22 revolver.
Please report back on that GDI RComE mount. Dang, I though Larue stuff was spendy!
You are going to love that ACSS Aurora ACOG. Red or green?
And if ACOG eats bullet or falls off cliff or leaks and fogs up??? And I take the QD mounted acog off? Then what? I’ll take my dinky magpul POS plastic back up sights with a 25 yard zero. Beats pointing rifle without sights and yelling pew.... YMMV.. And I’ve tried 45 canted irons on a friends rifle we both mofo hated it so bad. Because reasons...You can ditch the back ups now.

I got my GDI rcomE mount used on eBay for $145. I wanted a larue LT681. Either will work. This following will look very goofy. Run the back up irons in front of it. Max out the offset rear on acog mount. Mount as far back as possible. I need to loctite and go zero this rifle. Anyways when I shoulder it there is no more eye relief wailing on the TA31 series on m4 style rifle. This feels perfect. Costs be ******ed who cares. It fixes your eye relief issues. You shoulder rifle and it’s clear without needed to move neck forward or get hit with charging handle to nose. I know it looks goofy get over it. Massive feeling enhancement to human eye relief.
In what scenario do you fanaticize that happening?And if ACOG eats bullet or falls off cliff or leaks and fogs up???
My sister used to shoot small-bore target rifle. She used Savage and Anschutz rifles, both customized heavily. One was her prone rifle and the other her position rifle. (Don't ask me which was which, but I think the Anschutz was the prone rifle.)Going back to some old school precision, I picked up a couple classics; two Remington 40x"s One is based off the early 722 action (40-X), and the other on the 700 action (40-XB). These are 22LR competition rifles. The 40-XB has the 28" long heavy barrel, and the 40-X has the standard barrel. Both rifles are equipped with Redfield sights, with the 40-X sporting the Redfield Olympic front and rear, and the 40-XB sporting the Redfield International Match front and rear. Also, the 40-X has a more standard grade walnut stock, while the 40-XB is wearing a show grade piece of walnut. I have not shot either yet, as I am giving the rifles a thorough cleaning, and coating the stocks in a couple coats or pure Tung Oil. Both rifles are U.S. marked rifles, which were originally sold by the CMP.
The 40-XB:

Nice.Picked one of these up a while back. Nothing fancy but something to add to the arsenal.
The one with all the fancy extras wascthe position rifle, the other one wascthe prone rifle.My sister used to shoot small-bore target rifle.

Nice.
Range report requested.
That is a pretty close copy of the standard 1911. One thing to watch out for is 'hammer bite' on the fleshy part of your hand between your thumb and forefinger. Without a beavertail safety, the hammer can smack into your hand and raise a welt, depending on how big and 'fleshy' your hands are. I have several 1911A pattern 1911s, and it does get me once in a while. It's nothing serious for most folks, but if you do experience it, a band-aid on the area or of course shooting gloves will fix it. If you aren't familiar with the 1911 watch a couple videos on how to strip it for cleaning (but make sure they are for series 80 versions, they have an extra step). It's a great design in that with basic tools you can completely strip it to the frame and then easily reassemble it, unlike most modern handguns. The trigger can be tuned very precisely by a good gunsmith. Even a 'bubba' gunsmith can clean up a few parts to adjust the pull.My nothing fancy handgun is the Auto Ordnance 1911A1. I was too poor to get in on the CMP lottery for a true milsurp 1911, so I picked up this nice copy from the CMP forums instead ($400 shipped). Built to spec, and no frills, the main change from the original design is the addition of the drop safety, or what is classified as a series 80. This particular 1911A1 was from an estate sale, and as yet remains unfired... even by me, as I do not have any 45 ammo yet...quarantine and all.
I've always wanted a model 40 target rifle. I bought on of the Kimbers from the CMP, but it's just not the same. I have several of the CZ-452s, including the Ultra Lux that I added peep sights to, but again, just not the same. They shoot great, but don't have the history of the model. That 40-XB with the nicely figured walnut sure is a beauty. I guess I'm just a sucker for old school firearms.Going back to some old school precision, I picked up a couple classics; two Remington 40x"s One is based off the early 722 action (40-X), and the other on the 700 action (40-XB). ....

Sure. Blame it on the Army...I have a NIB Kimber 82G coming by end of the week. Never been shot or assembled, I am really looking forward to breaking it in. The rifle does have a small hint of the scratch received during inventory, which I believe the CMP blamed on an ARMY private who cut the boxes open to inventory the 20,000 rifles. The walnut figure on this stock is like a Marble Cake!
