Range Report
Finally got the chance to take the Beretta Neos .22 out to the range this weekend. Mounted a Sig red-dot scope on it that I bought from a friend. I put 450 rounds through it(Remington Viper's, Remington Thunderbolts, CCI Blazer's, CCI Velociter's, CCI Stinger's, and Federal blue box. Was really happy with the cycling and had 0 malfuctions, even when I loaded all 6 mags and rapid-fired the 60 rounds. Was very happy with that. I can't even say the same about my Ruger 22/45. Was also pretty happy with the trigger pull. I was a little disappointed with accuracy, not quite as good as my Ruger. It is definitely acceptable, but I am hoping it gets a little better the more I get it broke in and find the ammo it likes best. In the end I am very happy with this little pistol and it should serve it's intended purpose very well(a good little squirrel/plinking gun).

Took the P-38 and my old Colt 1911A1, and a LLAMA , yes I said LLama, 1911A1 to the range,, The old Colt performed perfect as usual, the P-38 works great, but not the most accurate pistol I have fired. and suprise the LLama performed flawlessly, and was very accurate..Fired a hundred rounds through each,, Only reason I took the Colt was I had to move the rear site as it was shooting about 2 inches to the left the last time I took it to the range, and didnt have the tools with me to move the rear sight,,
After the pistol range, went over to the trap range and Phoooey ran 71 and then missed one, so I quit at 75, as it was getting downright cold out, 39 degrees..BRRRRRRR[:0]
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

We went to a range called buffalo creek shooting range. It ws 25 bucks, and you could go toany of the ranges.We went to the rifle range to zero in out optics and then headed over to the pit. If you live in IL it is definatley worht the the drive. The colt handled all the ammo after the break in period, Some guy gave us 00buck and now im bruised. The only thing that came lose on the colt was my houge grip. I also left the binos at home so it was no fun trying to zero in the aimpoint wit a 3x burris. The pit was huge. They need to put some cars in there and a truck to the back left. While cleaning the AR's my friend lost the small pin that holds the firing pin in. What is it called and where can he get another one, we were thinking hardware store but we want the right part. 0 -
i met up this morning with a guy I had worked with 6 years ago, both of us retired now, at one of the local gun ranges. targets were placed from 10 yards, 30, 50 and 100. I brought along a Saiga 308, SKS 7.62x39, Ruger Blackhawk 44 mag with 44 special and 44 mag defense loads, and my Taurus 40S&W. Mark brought a Ruger 9mm, a Rock Island 1911 45acp and a ruger 1022, not wors class. all open sights fun was had, targets were hit occasionally, sometimes even surprisingly!!!, lies were told and a sad assessment was delivered as we were packing up after a sack full of empty brass was retrieved from the grounds-ours!. neither one of us old coots need to be shooting open sights anymore with rifles. and a more restrictive coffee intake was recommended prior to our next ammo blast with our pistols.. this was only my 2nd trip shooting my pistols so I am still a fledgling with them. the Saiga 308 I was shooting pretty damn good in my opinion, but man oh man the muzzle blast from that short barreled SOB was powerful. I LOVE IT! a good all around day to get out with an old friend doing what old farts do. 0 -
Went to the range today to sight in the Thompson Center Ventura in today for the price these are good rifles the action is as slick as my Tikka I got this rifle for less then 350. 00 couldn't be more pleased
got it from from casey a few months back and put a Vortex scope on it0 -
I bought an Inland M1 Carbine
and it is fun to shoot.
What is odd with this rifle is
that I don't need a scope (tired eyes)
to hit targets (which I am very pleased to say)
Easy to reload, fun to shoot.
I think I'm gonna get a Ruger mini-"something".
Seems pretty close to the Carbine-looks wise.
Any advice on which Ruger to get would be greatly
appreciated.I'm not expecting much in the accuracy
dept. I shoot steel out to 100 yds 12" plates.
I have a RRA .223, I was kind of wondering about
the mini 30.
Thanks-Ron0 -
Just bought my 6 year old a Cricket rifle for her birthday. I must say the gun is very low quality and I'm not impressed a bit with the thing. I'd rate it about the quality of a raven or jennings. Had several issues with the bolt out on the range. 0 -
Went top the range this morning with Roger Ruger and the Trapdoor twins.
Since I was a kid, going to the movies every Saturday morning and watching Western movies, I always wanted to own a six shooter like the cowboys. While I was on the police department, we carried S&W 38's, but somehow it just wasn't the same, LOL.
Now that a shooting iron by Ruger in 45 Long Colt has joined my collection, I feel just like Tom Mix. (I'll wait while you youngins go and ask your parents who Tom Mix was, haha.) Anyway with my western holster slung low on my hip, I was having fun.
Then it was time to try out the Trapdoor twins. I have two Springfield Trapdoor rifles both made in 1884, in 45/70 caliber. This was their first time at the range for me and both performed very well. We have discussed this before, but it is a real feeling of history to fire these weapons. It is a strange feeling to shoot a single shot rifle after firing an M1 Garand so often.
The 45.70 round is a powerful cartridge and watching plastic soda bottles fly high into the air after getting hit is a rush. (doesn't take much to excite me )
One of the rifles had a small problem in that the extractor is weak and I had to extract spent casings by hand. It wasn't extracting them fast enough to hit the ejector. I guess it's time to try and find a new spring for a 120 year old rifle. If'n anybody has one, shout out, OK?
All in all, it was a fun morning, and now I have three guns to clean, so I'll sign off and get to work..........

took the encore 7mm-08 out this weekend to site it in for deer season
the one in the bulls eye was the 3ed shot the other 3 above it were
the 1st two and then the 4th shot. not bad for a 100 yards the shot on the left and right were at 150 yards and I could not see the black bulls eye with the 4x scope (the cross hairs covered the thing up)
not bad out of a 15" pistol
I may work on the 150 yard shots some more but for this season Im sticking to 100 yards or less untill I get to shot it more.0 -

Zeroed in a couple of rifles today using Federal fusion ammo. I set up a 100 yard range at a buddy's place using my range finder.
One was a .243 H&R single shot youth model using 95gr rounds. After getting what I wanted I shot a 3 shot group of 7/8" center to center, I was surprised. Not the best platform and the trigger is fairly tough, But dang did it shoot good. Like I said I am surprised.
Second is my Tikka .300 WSM using 150gr rounds. The tikka shoots good and has a great trigger. After zeroing my 3 shot group with it was 3/4". I had a fair rest for both rifles but not the best and I didn't feel like I was doing them justice, but the groups were good so I'll take it.
Fusion ammo shot well, I'll hunt with it this year, see how it performs on Indiana whitetails and let you know.0 -
Took out the Remington 1911 I purchased awhile ago. I think this one might be a good one. Only one failure while my nephew was shooting it. Ran about 60 rounds through it. It was nice. Have I finally found a 1911 that performs well out of the box[?] 0 -
Finally took my DPMS AR out today and put about 200 rounds through it.I sighted it in so it was hitting about an inch low at 25 meters and with out any other adjustments to the sights, I was hitting propane cylinder gongs at 150 yards off hand. I say it performed well. A co worker of mine was there as well and I let him shoot it. He liked it better than his M-4 style AR. Definitely a good purchase. 0 -
I went to the local police range this morning to sight in my hunting rifle for deer season. I figured, "Since I'm going to the range, I might as well shoot my M1A, too...."
Here's my first set of shots with my Remington 700, chambered in .270. Not the best shots, but since I don't take very long shots, and I killed two last year with two shots, I should be OK. I'm pleased with the one exact bullseye!
OK, on to "Jayne," my M1A....first I did 20 shots, adjusting my sights after every 5 shots. I didn't take a picture of this target because they were bad. However, here's 20 consecutive shots at 100 yards with open sights. The breeze was fairly gusty, too, so not too shabby, I think.0 -
A while back I promised to give a range report on the .22-250 I purchased, so here it is. I can't wait to see what some of my reloads will do.
Gun--Remington SPS Varmint .22-250(26" heavy bbl)
Ammo--Remington UMC 45 Gr. JHP
Range--100 yard

I had a job today that was close to the range. So I put my two 91/03's in the work van, then hit the range after I did the job.
When I got these rifles they would hit high and to the left. I had to aim low off the paper and to the right off the paper. Just to hit the target. So I did some reading up then some tuning up. And here is how it turned out. There is a couple of things I can do more (which i will) to tighten the groups up. But from not hitting the paper, to this I am very happy so far. Oh yea 50yrds with cheap surplus ammo and 20 shots each.0 -
It works-[:D] Pop,pop, BVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVD

Took Mom and Dawnie to the shooting range yesterday. Main purpose was to make sure Mom can shoot well enough to pass her upcoming CHL renewal.
Mom liked the .32. She said it still hurt her hand, but not as bad as the .38, so it will become hers after it is cleaned.
On the Texas CHL course, Mom shot 89 and Dawnie shot 75. It was Dawnie's first time to ever shoot a handgun. She wants to do it again, of course, as long as she gets to shoot a gun that doesn't kick.

I went out to shoot my 1896 Swedish Mauser 6.5x55 today. Making a long story short. Results are: 140 gr. Core Lokt Remington; 4+" group at 85 yds. (odd range, I know). 120gr. Nosler Balistic Tip Handload; 1.5" group, same distance. Conclusion: Remington Factory fodder sucks in my rifle. I shot two groups of 3 from the Remington box 1ST, then shot one group of 3 shots of the Nosler. If anything, the Remington had the advantage of a cleaner barrel, and a cooler barrel. Purpose of this exercise was to decide whether or not to continue on with a sporterizing project of an old stock for this gun. The project will go on, that group is promising, and good enough if it doesnt get any better than that.

I received my Mosin Nagant
and took it to the
field, My friend and hid boy loved
it.I shot nice and accurate once
we got used to the "take up"
in the trigger.Shooting this relic
is quite a bit of fun.I"m used to
bull barrels with strong scopes but
I tell ya, I'm looking forward to the
next outing and also looking for another
military rifle.I"m gonna buy another,they're
inexpensive and I'll lose mine,I'm sure as soon
as my grandson shoots it.
Question:I shot non-corrosive ammo.
Just how difficult is it and what do you use
and how thorough are you cleaning your rifle
after using corrosive ammo?
Thank-rong0 -
This is the first day in several that we didn't have fog so, I was able to get the new, to me, rifle out today. Sine I slept longer than intended and was pressed for time, I decided to shoot off the hood of the Jeep.
Note to self: Whether it's convenient or not, drag out the bench.
I had a tough time issolating my heartbeat from the side of the hood, and it shows in my grouping. The final group, lower right, was the result of a folded blanket between my chest and the hood.
With a ton of practice I should be up to what this rifle is capable of.0 -
on a lighter report if anybody gives a ---- [8D]
Nobody shot themselves or anybody else today .[:D]
was a little crowded a lot of new shooters.[:)]
no jams no duds wasted about 500 rounds (300 22s)[;)]
new AK worked, AR,DE50 AND ,DE44 all good EVEN THE REM 522 [:p][:p]
NOW I GET TO CLEAN THEM UP[^][:(][^]0 -
Finally got a chance to shoot my S&W Model 10-6. 4" heavy barrel.
I love it.
Shoots far easier than any of my Sigs. Cut the center dot out at 25 feet
I could knock down the 6" plates at will.
I'm shooting my cast reloads and it just ate them up.
I am more than thrilled.
I will see my father in law and thank him again for his generosity in giving me the gun.
I put a set of mother-of-pearl grips on and she's beautiful as well.
Not smart enough to post pics from my Kindle0 -
SKS worked well, shot 200 rounds of my wolf ammo...FUN...we were all safe none of us were hurt...(friend got burnt on barrel,his sks), I would never get my SKS barrel that hot. Bottels and targets didn't stand a chance... 0 -
Ruger GP-100
At 50 feet i was able to keep all the shots on a paper plate. The trigger is very heavy but smooth. I was having problems with the .357's. It seemed like the ass end of the round, where the primer is, is too thick, and it woldnt let me close the cylinder, i didnt have this problem with the .38's, but i think itmay have been the cheap ammo, some kind of American Manufacturers ammo. Other than that i couldnt be happier with the gun, it shot about an 8 inch to 1 foot fireball out of the muzzle. And, as always, the glock functioned perfectly! [;)]0 -
My son and I went to the range yesterday. I gave him a Savage 30-06 from my gun cabinet as a high school graduation present. We lined it up to 150 grain rounds (I had used 180 grain) and he was shooting 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards, not bad considering the wind was gusting and irratic. I have put about 40 rounds through my Tikka 300 wsm and it has broke is fairly well it seems, I was shooting 1 1/4 inch groups and considering the wind I was very happy with that. We were using cheap (is there such a thing) ammo so like I said I was ahppy with the groups.
We aslo shot my Ruger 454. It's a nice piece and I didn't realize my son had never shot it before. He had fun with the 454 loads and suprised me with his accuracy, but then he has had a good teacher.[:D] He then proceded to have a lot of fun shooting a 50 round box of 45lc through it. The range is an open public range, in the country, with lots of plinking targets available. We had it to ourselves most of the time we were there. So he practiced drawing and firing at various targets. And I have to say with a little practice he will most likely out shoot dad. But then dad could use a little more practice myself, I will not make it easy for him.
We then took turn shooting a 22 mag rifle I brought along and we put about 120 rounds through that and called it a day.
It was a good day.0 -
Buddy and I made it to the range today and shot for a short while. P238 performed flawlessly, just as I expected it to. Very nice shooting. Wish the trigger was a little lighter, but I guess I can live with it. After all, it's not a target pistol. LOL. 0 -
Took my Rem 700 270 and 308 out
of moth balls to see if my jitters
have settled down any.
At a 100 yds the targets
looked like they were hit
with a ten inch pattern of
buck shot.wobble ,wobble0 -
I finally made it the range today, but only had 1/2 an hour to spare. Took the new Beretta 9000S-F in .40 S&W and the Ruger Security Six in .357. The Beretta Neos remains unfired at this point. [V]
I did OK with the Security Six at 15 yards -- 3" group. With a 2" barrel, I figure that is acceptable. This was also with the factory grips, which were not unpleasant to shoot. I did install a set of Hogue Monogrips this evening, so I'll be interested to see how much of a difference they make.
The 9000S-F is another story, and I think it needs another trip to the range. I don't know if is the gun or me. I shot it last, and I was running out of free time. Most of my shots were low and to the left. If I aimed at the head of the target, I was able to hit the center consistently with S&B 180 Gr FMJ. With Federal Premium 180 Grain HydraShocks, I was all over the place -- always on target, but no consistency. I picked up some Remington Golden Sabers to see if they make a difference.0
