Well finely got to do a little shooting for the first time since last fall. Got the dirt work done late last summer and brushed the last bit this spring before things greened up.
Anyway sighted in my CZ455 22 with a new old scope, Leupold 4x12, awesome little tack driver. 3/4 inch at 50 yards with regular Federal Ammo.
New Athlon scopes on my 223 Winchester Featherweight and my AR. The Featherweight got a 4x20 and the AR got the 2x12 both Athlon scopes. Nice scopes, liking them, very clear, and bright.
Finally after 35 years got my little Sako A1 chambered in 6mm X 47, finished up about 100 fire forming cases.
Anyway one of the rifles for today's line up that I have really been looking forward to is my Winchester 71. This rifle has been nicely altered to a 20" barrel, full magazine, and since it's not original I put a Decelerator recoil pad on it. I would not have installed it if the gun wasn't already diddled with, but, I like it!! It also has a Lyman receiver sight on it and I have a box of Remington 150 grain cartridges that needed to be unloaded. All in all this rifle is nicely put together. Looks right.
Started at 25 yards, then 50, couple at each range. Set up at 100 and dialed it in, the last 4 shots just a touch over 1&1/2 inches at 2 inches high. Nice!! Shoots like a dream.
A enjoyable day all together.
Target box on the right is the 25 yard target, then 50, and the furthest is one 100 yards on the button. Picture taken from the shooting bench
