Fun photo!

Here I am hiding in my living room! Can you see me? I know that you can't see me, I'm in camo!

I love this rifle! It is one of my all time favorites and that is a short list. So maybe I should just share the list....

#1: Howa 1500 custom 308 Winchester

#2: DPMS AR 15 custom 223

#3: Remington 700 pretty much stock 22-250

So there you have it... my top three!

Bite the Bullet Shooting!

Well it is official! I have shot my rifle for the first time and started the long break in process. The break-in process that I chose was to fire 10 rounds one at a time and cleaning after every shot, then fire another 10 and cleaning after every other shot and then to finish it off, firing 9 rounds with cleaning after every third shot. I was able to get through the first 10 rounds and started into the second stage before I had to pack it up for the day.

I wanted to share some of my results that I got in the first stage. After firing 3 shots, the bullet impact was low left so I adjusted from there. By the time I fired my eighth shot I was zeroed. In fact the eighth shot took the "X" right out of the target. The next two shots, numbers nine and ten went in almost the same hole! Its official! I love this rifle and did i mention that there is really NO RECOIL! Love it Love it! Next time I will take pictures of the target. I just ran out of time today.

Bite the Bullet Scope Time!

Well the scope finally came today. I was supposed to be sleeping today because I have the night shift but I was to excited to get the scope on the rifle I couldn't sleep. The Burris XTR rings are massive and look extremely strong. The Butler Creek scope caps are just are they have always been and fit great. Finally done to the scope. It looks well put together and the knobs for elevation and windage are indexed out to 14. At a 1/4" per click this scope will give me 56 clicks without passing zero. The scope is on and bore sighted and knobs are re zeroed so its ready for its first shot. I just have to do the dreaded break-in on the barrel. After I take it to the range I'll write up a report of how everything went. I hope that after the break-in that the rifle will shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yards.
