Wow me likey! Looks like a shooter:bthumb:

 

That looks all business buddy! I like it.:bthumb:

 

Looks great!

 

Nice lookin' tree rat gun for sure. I think it's gonna be a squacks nightmare I like it :t
Knock a few in the head for me

 

well,I just got back from the range, and didn't get a single thing accomplished!

I ran out of elevation, and forgot the Burris inserts!

maybe tomorrow.

 

Dang Chromie, you're slipping. Just kidding, you did good.

 

that be the best you can do. seriously it looks good.:bthumb: wizzr

 

ok but ya still have a fine looking build there Chromie :bthumb:

 

How bout' '' Fat Blackie '' ? RH

 

huh, I was thinking "Slim Shady"

 

Nice Chromie, I really like that build.:bthumb: Those stocks can take a beating and still look brand new. I've had one on a .308 for a few years not a mark on it. Looks like you built a great hunting rig Chromie!

 

Sorry I missed your call buddy. I was under the car I think. Another nice rifle from one of SuperStock's longest running members. It is SO NICE to see you posting here again!

We'll get the call together. I finally got the brakes working on my car.

Now I have to figure out how to fix a broken shifter on an automatic trans Cavalier so my wife can drive her self to work.

Was the weirdest thing to be driving her car and no matter where I put the shifter handle it would only go backward. Figured out what it was and limped home after burning the crap out of my arms trying to move the selector under the engine. I hate this stuff.

Anyway Sorry for the missed call and so happy to have you back.:bthumb:

 

cold weather ammo, on a 84* day...

right on Vincent!!

I ran out of elevation, and ran into a clearance problem with the Intensity yesterday, which ended my range trip in about 5 minutes. So, I got out to shoot for a bit today, with the APV mounted back up. After shooting the last 3 boxes of what is very possibly the worst lot of Wolf MT, I have ever had. I decided to scrap the testing and shoot a few groups with the thing, as is. I think we have a decent ammo for this thing, it is just a shame I only have 6 boxes of this lot left. Anyway, I think this one has some potential.

 

something else I noticed today. I have always shot groups with my action screw sitting right on the bag of the front rest, and felt like I had the best luck this way. Not this rig. It likes to have the rest way out on the tip. I had a lot better groups this way, with no forward pressure on the stop either. kinda puzzling to me, as this is way different than the norm on my rigs.

 

I snapped a little better picture today. I think I like it better with the APV. It sure is easier to find a squirrel in this scope.

yesterday I bedded it with the good ol' JB weld. I know I said I wasn't gonna bed this one, but I just get bored when it rains.

 

Looks good Chromie. I really like my APVs on my squirrel guns.I keep the power down to 6x and under 90% of the time. Can find a squirrel real quick with 'em. Good all round scopes.:t

 

I agree Trimguy, and I keep mine on 6 most of the time too, and AO on about 35-40, while hunting.

 

OK I finally got a chance to shoot this thing after the bedding experiment. I'll go into that more when I have more results to share.

Anyway, I got away for about an hour this afternoon. I intended on some action screw torque testing, a 25 USBR or 2, and a go at the 100 yd MOA game. The rain set back in before the 100er got going good, but I was able to muster up a 246-5x's on the USBR. In which I believe to be my personal best at this point. So I'm pretty amped up this evening, and to top it all off squirrel season opens tomorrow in MO with a new limit of 10 tree rats!!...

 

That's some dang good shoot'n with that ol 1022 there Chromie. Looks like its coming together as a great build

 

Chromie, thats a nice target there with your new build. The tree rats will be in trouble tomorrow if you get after em. Good luck shoot a couple for me. I'm going to stay out of the squirrel woods till Sept. Let em breed up some

 

That is a nice one Chromie, how many have you shot this month? I've got to get in gear and get mine done.

 

I'm Finally Happy, I Think....
I think I found the right combo this time!! . . .

That's what my brother said after his fourth marriage!!

Just kidding.
Nice rig and good shooting! :bthumb:

 

HAHA... Darn you Bigfoot...that made me spit some Coffee, now I've got to dry out my keyboard.

 

That's happened to me a few times hanging around here.

 

thanks for the compliments fellas! I tried to better my score for the month today, but way too many people around for that, so I just tried to go for the 13mm funner, no dice there either....I had a good time, but my shooting was not there today...

man it is almost 3, the rain just started, and may set in for the day, those dang tree rats may live another day. There are so many squirrels and so few squirrel hunters these days, Missouri Conservation dept. has upped the daily limit from 6 to 10 this year. So now a box of Wolf MT or CCI SV will only last 5 days...

 

OK most of you know I can't leave well enough alone, and I am unemployed. Man too much time is bad!! For the few of you that I have been bugging, I know you guys can't be getting anything done messing with me. Sorry to be a pest, but not real sorry... anyway, here is an update, new build list and a pic. Updated range report expected tomorrow.
