Gaillard Barrels

The other barrel was my 1:7 twist .222 on a M-700 action. On demand I could cut the chains which held the steel plates for pistol shooting at the range, calling first one side of the link than the other. This is by far the most accurate rifle I have ever owned.[/QUOTE]


I don't know whether to ask why you are destroying range equipment deliberately, or just suggest you quit doing it. Every range seems to have a couple guys like you, until they are found and booted out. You think that stuff fixes itself?

Ted makes a great barrel, with the added benefit of installation by the maker. Actually it will probably be his nephew doing the rifle work, but he will stand behind the job regardless. Keeping all the work in one spot has advantages.

My range - My gear - I break it - I fix it! When anybody else breaks it I fix it as well! When they shoot up bottles I clean it up! When they shoot up pallets I clean them up and burn them! When the berm slumps I take a loader out there and fix that too! So Go #### Yourself!

So you go to your private range, deliberately shoot up and destroy your own equipment? No doubt you brought your portable welder, a box of quick-links and some extra chain along. It really would be a small price to pay for the sheer joy of breaking something.:rolleyes: In my experience people who build and repair things tend to be rather protective of them and don't break them for the thrill of endlessly repairing. That by itself would indicate that you are at least partially full of ####, but may just be stupid. Shouldn't you be out shooting up roadsigns or something? Also given your preoccupation with anal selfgratification may I suggest that you shove your rifle, attitude and any range gargabe you can find up your azs. Have a nice life.
 
Oh boy!:D

Quit holding back, let's hear how you really feel.....:D

I guess I should add that Gaillard makes as good a barrel as you can buy anywhere. That can be said of most of the quality barrel makers today. We have never had it so good.

Hey pin head - it's a range...you shoot at what is down range. When stuff gets damaged - like target frames or supports they are fixed or replaced or you just don't have them for next time. Now we don't have a lot of members in our club, and the public is free to use the range except when we are putting on a shoot like the dynamite shoot we did a couple of years ago, some here might remember hearing about that. When the RCMP, Resources, or Parks are doing their qualification shoots we give them exclusive use of the range for those days, but the public is free to use the range any other time. Under these circumstances things get shot up, so I'm not going to worry about shooting links off a chain when I'm in the mood, and like I said mostly I'm the guy that looks after keeping the stuff in repair anyhow. Last fall a bear bust into our range shack and tore out a wall. There's no point in whining about it - it's just one of those things. And you know what - the couple of hundred bucks we get from memberships isn't going cover rebuilding it, so it'll probably be me and another couple of guys who reach in our pockets and pay to repair or replace it. You pretty much gotta roll with the punches around here, and actually there is only 2 things that tick me off. First is when some no mind burns our shooting benches for fire wood...that'll get me cranky - the second thing is when some pin head who has never laid eyes on this place, and is never likely to, tells me what I can and can't shoot at on my own range!
 
Obviously target frames get shot up, and metal targets eventually get shot up. That is not anything like shooting the chains off a pistol target for the hell of it. When you say you can do it on demand it indicates that you have done it over and over. Fixing that thing must never get old?
Anyways, you are right that it isn't my range or my problem. We have enough guys shooting handgun falling plates with rifles, blasting the set-in concrete mounts for target frames, wrecking new target boards by shooting them with a shotgun at arms length, perforating burning barrels and what have you. Sandbags that were provided for everyones use are usually carried out 10 yards or so and shot in a few days. So far nobody has figgered out a way to burn the concrete benches though. That would frost my nuts too.


None has much to do with Ted Gaillard, a good guy who lives just down the road.

Next time you talk to Ted ask him if he remembers building me that fluted 1:7 .224 - it was a sweet heart.

I'll do that, probably this spring when he puts yet another barrel barrel on my 22/250 coyote thinner.1-14 this time. The last barrel he did for me was an STW on my .312 reamer. It's a keeper too.:D
