Finally got out for a solid overnighter worth of shooting last weekend! Lots of new gear to play with!

As always, anyone looking for the fancy hi-Rez version should check my vimeo channel instead.

I'm looking for opinions: how low is too low on a 1-4 scope like my viper? I've always used the high ADM mounts, so these super low rings on the new rail are a big change. But right now they're so low that I can't attach my favorite black rifle accessory! (that'd be the throw lever)

Enjoy! Anyone else hitting the bush regular yet? I only got out a handful of times over the winter, and never really feel like I shoot as well in the cold.
 
Lol no it is not sir. A real ops-core would be fun, but i'd buy one in foliage green for that kinda money. They had a sweet booth at shot show though. I'll post a phone photo of my method of transport and it'll make more sense.

I bought the rail from Canada Ammo, and it's in place firmly, but they shipped it without hardware.

Matt and Chris have been super helpful and I'm expecting the missing parts to arrive today or next week. But: it's not yet "complete"

You can see an ugly little silver hole in the shots where I shoot off the eberlestock. There should be a block in there that will make contact with the front flip up sight.
 
Tavor for sure! I've handed a few XCRs and they cause me to lean forward. Especially when you start putting fun stuff on the end of the gun.

Tavor's don't pull down. You can shoulder one and keep it on target downrange for fifteen minutes without noticing. Which I find is a really interesting test:

Take one of your hunting or precision rifles and try to shoulder it and hold on target for a time. After a minute or two you really start to feel it!
 
Soo.....do you just go out into the woods and shoot wherever? Just wondering, because I'm pretty sure that's illegal where I'm from.
 
Crown land sir. The laws of crown land.

Where do you hunt? Anywhere that it is legal to hunt it is legal to shoot. So no National Parks, no Wildlife preserves, and if you're on private land it had better be non-restricted and with the land-owners permission.

But on federally owned land-use areas (of which there are a great many in Alberta) you can shoot as much as you'd like. I still use basic safety because I'm not retarded. i.e. I shoot into the hillside not across the river and wide open plain where I was camped.

I mean this kindly, I just have to ask are you armed forces or do you just dress up that way? Your neck scarf indicates Afghanistan, and I'm curious. Nobody ever comes into the bush in my neck of the woods in a helmet, custom fatigues, and a sandbox scarf and you've piqued my curiosity. :redface:

I admit to thinking the same thing...

I like the video, it's quite good, but you'd increase your credibility 10 fold if you dressed "normally". Or at least lost the helmet and scarf. Normally I wouldn't care, but just trying to be constructive as the rest of your vid is well done and informative.

were you shooting? SW of Calgary? if so where at? I am still looking for a place closer to home to shoot, and Mclean creek is almost always a hazardous area to shoot unless you can 4x4 far in.
 
You can avoid the shotty getting all frosty overnight by doing what they made us do with the FN in training - sleep with it in your sleeping bag (unloaded, of course). That sucker would either make a man out of you, or a woman, depending on how fitfully you slept.
