i went to the range, yesterday. i had to remove the scope from my gun, so i moved it back about 1/2 an inch, thus it needed to be sighted in. i shot some groups. after getting the thing back on paper and such, most of my groups were about 0.7", measured with digital calipers. my best group was 0.507". yep, i like this rifle. i am shooting with a harris bipod, no other rest, so this isn't benchrest BS. also, this is ammunition i reloaded. i only purchased the first 80 rounds and i have been reloading them, along with some other acquired brass.

Good afternoon folks. It was a busy day at work. I will log onto one of the work computers and start another batch job later tonight. Hopefully the storms that are due to hit about 9:00 or so will not be bigger than last night as predicted.

I thought it was a reference to my mental age
I was going to argue that I may not be greater than 3

She's a cutie and the giving back bit has merit (been there, done that, got the scars such that I don't ever have to do that again).

Thanks tweeze, I need it.

I'm 'not happy Jan' - I've got 5 holes in my wall a no leak to be found. Low and behold, the plumbers now gone to get a brick saw to he can cut the porch slab to see if the leak is under the house slab after all

All this after I asked him if it was worth looking under there in the first place, when I questioned that maybe the flow noise we could hear was being transfered. Hmmmmmmmm.........

Long frigging day in MN...

Showed up at the factory at 6AM and everyone is like WTF are you guys doing here you don't have to be here till 8.... GRRRRRRRR

Was cool watching some of the toys though...

http://www.trumpf-machines.com/en/products/punching/punching-machines/trupunch-5000.html

Also have a siemens Siplace working its ass off placing components and then 3 rotary placers stamping LEDs. Sound like a trio of tommy guns!


Our siplace is newer, with big ass carbon fiber arms for the heads.......
