Thanks

I go to Kohl's and Kmart from time to time and look at their clearance racks. They usually have Dickie's or Toughskins on sale for about $15.

Lat update...again. I shot from a bag this time instead of the bipod, and I tried to really slow down and concentrate. Had much better groups this time. I was trying different ammo so this was the one that did best. Still 168 grain HPBT, but it was in Winchester 308 brass, not Lake City NATO: All targets were under 1 MOA (barely for two) and one had all three shots in one hole. Looking forward to getting to a point where all the targets look like the upper left.

Very Nice! Definitely on my list...

My Mini-14 is one of my favorite guns to bring to the range. It's definitely NOT a precision shooter by any means, but it cycles everything I've put through it and has been a breeze to maintain. It's pictured on the left here with an inexpensive Bushnell Dropzone 223 Scope: Have fun!

Just let me know if you need any help moving, sorting, or categorizing. I'll waive my normal hourly labor rate in exchange for getting the first look...

Thanks GRIZ. I'll be very happy if I can get to consistent 3/4" groups. At that point I'll decide if I want to invest the time it takes (range trips, brass prep, reloading, travel to longer ranges in PA, etc, etc) to get even better.

I actually forgot to post the step by step pics I took!!! They're here - https://imgur.com/a/B7F2CCF I put the album together for my son who went away to college and missed the fun. The side by side pic is with a Ruger Mini-14, the girl is my daughter (very good shot for her age) and target from 50 yards when she tried it for the first time.

Thanks medved11. I already use a rear bag, so I'll try with a front bag instead of a bipod next time. I'm definitely slowing down and trying to focus on basics.

Thanks Griz. Ammo is Ammo Incorporated 168 gr BTHP loaded in Lake City brass. Not great ammo by any means, but I don't think it's causing the wide groups (conditions were really good).

Sorry to hear about your seizure. I'd recommend taking any advice you get from the forum with a grain of salt and consulting ith your attorney before taking any action. That said, I tend to agree with those who have said they magazines are yours to alter or dispose of and NOT the property of the police department. Unless they reimburse you for the full retail cost, I'd say you should demand them back. At a minumum you could sell them or trade them for different magazines. Good luck

Last update on this thread for me. Gun still functions great, so I just have to lean how to shoot it. Went out this morning for a while and did a bit better than the first time: Group 5 was a hair under an inch and group 3 was a hair over. Group 4 was .68 so in the 2 weeks I've been shooting with a bolt gun that's the best one. I tried to write down a lot of things I was doing so I can remember for next time. Goal is to regular improvement.

Thanks Griz. All great advice here. Looking forward to getting out again.
