2011 CGN Saskatchewan Gopher Shoot primer thread. Starts over at post 538.

[Newspeak]

Nope.. since I got the .17HMR I hardly shot the .22 at gophers anymore... now with the .223 I hardly shoot the .17.. lol...

Hmmmm.. could be my new toy then....

As for the S&W.. I have had it a few years, but since it is Restricted I didn't bring it down... if you can't have fun with it, why bother.

Ahh, I assumed you were loading for the shoot this summer. Thinking maybe a CX4 or something...

 

[Hunt&Hook]

I like those odds.

Good news!! I picked up a box of cheap 170gr bullets for the old mule. Now anyone who wants to take a crack at the old mauser is welcome.

WhooHoo! Picked up a tent and sleeping bag for 40 bucks at Wallyworld, so I don't have to sleep in the truck now. Of course it'll probably collapse under the snowload, but maybe this year the snow will be light and fluffy instead of wet and heavy.

Maybe.

We can always hope brother.

i started planning when i got home from the last one, only 1200 more rounds to load.....

 

[Until the Angels Fall]

I am only bringing a 10/22 and a hatsan 20" 12g.......money is tight right so getting another gun is kinda not gonna happen sadly. How much ammo should I bring for these two? Am I even gonna be able to get in "combat" shotgun range?

 

[firemachine69]

Tactical gopher shooting... Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

 

[pharaoh2]

Just stay close to Captain2k. He'll show you how to use CADPAT camo and appear in a cloud of tactical smoke well within range, just watch out for the swarms of ninja gophers that launch full attacks when that happens. Remember to save one round.

If you leave it at home you've got latrine duty for the whole trip!
