awesome Chad, did you shoot that new 22-250?

[XDJohnTact 49]

Great pics Chad, thanks very much for posting them! Tony, that new Remmy of Chads was awesome. That round just exploded out of there! The only thing is they put the damn bolt on the wrong side?

lol John, looks like you enjoyed yourself. I know you've been wanting to do some skeet shootin'

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Whoa, 1911Fan is back!!!!

 

Whoever has the Mets jersey is my new bff!!!

 

Nice pics Maks, looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

[Chad 3]

Yes I did Tony!!! AWESOME round! I was hitting small apples at 200 yds! It was EXPLODING coconuts, we were finding small chunks 100yds away! Destroyed cans and stuff too, 22-250 is my new favorite round. I zero'd it in at 50 yds, and it was holding zero out to 200! Very flat shooter.

 

hahaha John, its on the perfect side for me! All you weird righty people have a problem with it.

[Chad 3]

Maks, after looking at these pics, I think I realize why Egor's arms were getting tired, his elbows are out to the sides instead of down. He was supporting all the weight on his shoulders, instead of his elbows.

[XDJohnTact 49]

Hey Chad, I think I can see the clay in the pic I took of you at the last station?

[Caine 147]

Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Dix looks like a nice range. Wish it was closer. I like how the rifle lanes are spaced out

[Chad 3]

Yeah, John you're right! . . . nice shot bud!!!!

[JonF 79]

Groovy pics Chaddio! :ugeek:

 

 

Whoa, 1911Fan is back!!!!

i dont remember meeting him today, which one is he?

[Maksim 1,504]

yeah, 1911fan wasnt there. =) the guy in the mets shirt is my cousin igor.

[Chad 3]

Thanks Jon . . . 1911fan (darian) was not there today.

[Blcklightning 11]

I had a great time today. Started off at the pistol range for an hour waiting until the rifle range cleared up. Got the AR sighted in pretty well, even out to 150 yards. I definitely need to get myself a spotting scope though. Also messed around a bit with the trusty 10/22. Next time I'll have to bring some fun targets, like filled plastic bottles, fruit, coconuts etc...

 

It was nice meeting a bunch of you for the first time.

Chad - Thanks for letting me shoot your 22-250. Very impressive! :handgestures-thumbup:

JonF - Thanks for letting me shoot the Finn. I need to get myself one!

Maks - Jealous of the Sig! I'm kicking myself for not getting one instead of the AR! It shoots So nice! Now if they ever make one in .308, I'm all over it! Gotta love Sigs! :drool:

 

Good times.

[Maksim 1,504]

and ray ray, I think you are mixing up 1911fan and JonF

[bbk 188]

Good meeting a lot of you today. Sorry I didn't stick around when you guys hit the general range. I got back, cleaned my AR, and was immediately out the door -- and just got back again... pretty tired at this point... so, my apologies if I mix up names and faces

Good seeing you again, Martin, as well as some of the new faces. njpilot, thanks for convincing me that I need to put a bolt action rifle at the top of my list now.

It was very nice meeting you today. . . I wish I knew you needed stuff to shoot, I had a trunk load of stuff you could have had! Reactive targets are definitely fun! I hear ya on the spotting scope, I need to get one as well, I was super impressed with Keith's. . . I forgot the brand but it was crystal clear. The waiting sucks, thats what I always try to go on wednesdays, 1/2 the benches are usually empty during the week, and the skeet is usually even quieter. I can remember years ago when dix was not very known, boy has it changed.

Good times.

 

Now you are committed.

 

Sig is starting to produce a Sig 556 in a 308, trying to pull up pics and model number.

Only Sig coming in .308 that I know of is the Sig 716, though that's an AR variant-- not the same type of design like the current 556 models.

Earlier in the day i was trying to "finish off" a cantelope Lunker left behind. Problem was, i only had surplus FMJ for my K31 which was just piercing clean though rather than blow it to smithereens like the HP's Chad was firing out of his Remmy. Anyways, since the K31 was scoped and a real tackdriver, i realized all i could do was "paint" a face on it, Riggs style.

 

 

 

Also that day, i was trying to inflict some more damage on my home made steel "gong" target--a 1" steel place but not hardened Brinnell armor. It got pocked up pretty good and i rained about 100rds of .223 on it at the 200yd mark. The hits were scattered but with some more practice, i'd like to try to just drill through it by jsut concentrating on hitting it in the same spot with a few hundred rounds. Or.... maybe a few hits with some M855 would do it in?

 

 

 

 

And Chad, Shane and the others interested in a cheap armor plate gong, here is the plate i ordered from Wideners hanging from a piece of 6' rebar bent into a simple frame.

It would have to be like the current 556 design. Now if one does come out, I'll have to find a sweet deal like Maks did! :handgestures-thumbup:

You should see what it does to a groundhog. It's _BEEN_ my favorite round for 20+ years. I just don't have the gun to shoot it. I shot my step-dad's many many times at furry rodents and it is accurate and sounds like a cannon.

[JonF 79]

Sweet, was that the k31 you got from me?

Yes, the very same one! Its a great shooter, although thats no surprise being a swiss gun but i'm defintely enjoying shooting this gun.
