edit - nevermind...saw the town name.

If your in the interiour, your not that far. Tripalm has you beat, so you have no excuse.

I will be there,is it rimfire only or can we bring .223 and 22.250 ?

 

[captain2k_ca]

Bring anything! Anyone have a 105 howitzer? That would be FUN!

 

[Farmer Harv]

It's only ~60mm, but I could dig the old beer can mortar out of the back corner of the shop and drag it down. Accuracy sucks, but that would only make it more spectacular if it actually hit something.

 

[captain2k_ca]

Do it! Do it!

 

[Boomer454]

Dammit!!
There are only 70 days left till the shoot, and my new barrel isn't here yet...

But hey it's only 70 days and I have a new barrel for my 10/22 in the mail!

So far I have managed to shoot 4 lonely gophers this year. Not for lack of trying, but that's all I have seen when I had a gun, and/or no city around me.

 

[captain2k_ca]

Lmao! I just bought another 5250 rounds of 22ammo!

 

[toxic111]

How much was that??? damn.. with you having that much, we will have our own store there!.. lol

 

[captain2k_ca]

He wanted $20 a box, I told him I can get it for $17 a box....so he said he can match that! So me and wifey cleaned him out! 17 boxes total! Lol!

 

[toxic111]

what brand?

 

[captain2k_ca]

Federal game shocks. 36 grain copper jacket, hollow point. My rifle likes these!

 

[toxic111]

Ahh.. I run what ever in mine.. they all shoot not bad.. what ever is the cheapest gets it.. lol...

Now the HMR is a different story...

 

[captain2k_ca]

Well, of all the brands I have tried these seem to work the most consistently! So I buy them when I can.
Got 10 to 15 thousand rounds now. At least! Lmao!

 

[toxic111]

I have around 2000 for the HMR, and a couple/3 of .22. Will pick up some more for both before June.. unless I end up with a .223 (really thinking about it)

 

[captain2k_ca]

HEHE! Had to snap a few piccies tonight to get an idea of what we are planning to bring +/- a few rifles...

Might not bring the muzzle loader, and Mrs. Captain2k might buy herself a new scatter blaster She is undecided about that

I also have a couple of .22's I might bring along "Just in Case"

I cant wait!! The scope for my new Tikka didnt arrive yet, so I cant play with it yet...but I am sure it will be in by next weekend...its not supposed to be to nice out yet anyways!!!

And as of this post anybody who has not spoken will be ON THE WAITING LIST UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE!!!

Anywho, on to the PIX!!

All the gear:

I like how this pic looks:

17 boxes of .22 I got today:

This is how about 12,000 rounds of .22 LR Ammo look like is surplus boxes

 

[Beritel]

OMG that's officially "a bunch" of ammo!

You making up loot bags for the attendees? LOL

 

[toxic111]

Damn.. that is a lot of ammo!!

I know for sure the 10/22 & 17 are coming, maybe the 28ga, and a 12 ga... MZ will stay home... but the 6mm may come... and it looks like I may have a .223 before then too!
