Snuck out for a couple of hours

[BK]

and hit the gun club. Took the .204, the .257 Weatherby, the '06, and my Remington Classic .221 Fireball.

The .257: think I found a huntable load, 80 gr. Barnes TTSX factory load:

One fouling shot, then the next three.

The .204 is so easy to shoot, it even makes me look good:

Just getting to the Fireball, it's been an unfired safe queen until this trip home. 3-9x40 Bausch and Lomb 3200 (maybe 3000?)

I'm probably gonna work on the bedding a little bit when I get the chance (whenever that may be) and get the trigger done.

The '06 is continuing to be a problem child. It throws different bullets into wildly different POI... generally horizontal displacement. Huh. May have to bed that one as well.

Kurt,

Nice shooting.
That 221 Fireball is a cool one for sure. A little TLC will go a long ways for you.
Sounds like a couple og bedding jobs and you will be set to go.

Had a 221 FB. I like it. It was fun to shoot and economical.

 

[DrMike]

Some fine targets presented. Each looks as if it is performing well for you.

 

[filmjunkie4ever]

What kind of 30-06 do you have Kurt? Those are good groups, nothing to be ashamed of there.

Jeepers- When I "sneak out" I never shoot that well. I think I'm afraid she is looking over my shoulder. :shock: Just kidding shes more likely to send me to the range....gets tired of me mopin' around the house. Good lookin' targets! CL

Dale, it's a 700 ADL SS I put in a McMillan Remington Sporter stock. Minox 3-9x scope on a rail.

Looks like a great day on the range Kurt! I am sure that 30-06 will come around once you get that barrel broken in some more. Sometimes it can take awhile if they are a little rough from the factory. Scotty

 

[sask boy]

Good looking rifle, hope that you get to enjoy this fall.

Blessings,
Dan

Very nice Rifle Kurt! You're as 30 cal crazy as I am. I am up to 4 of them right now but you have me beat. Already thinking about a few others...a 30-30, a 30-40, another 30-06, a 300 H+H, and maybe a 300 Win Mag. Though I am loving my 300 WSM!

 

[DrMike]

I believe Kurt's Rifle Emporium has about everyone beat! :mrgreen: The thirty calibre is about as American as one can get. It is a great calibre. Chambered in a good rifle, it'll get the job done.

 

[6mm Remington]

Very nice shooting. Everyone needs to own at least ONE 30-06!

Maybe, Doc, but Mikes House of Fine European Glass leaves me drooling.

Absolutely necessary to avoid being compelled to hunt by braille on an ongoing basis.

Holy crap! I just sat down and figured, and between my dad and myself, we have at least 10 .30 calibers (or calibres, Mike). (I'm a little embarrassed that I'm not exactly sure.)

 

[DrMike]

or calibres, Mike

It's alright, Kurt. I'm bilingual. I talk American and speak Canadian. :grin:

 

[BK]

Wouldn't that be multilingual? American Canuckian, and redneck?

 

[DrMike]

Good point, Kurt! Truthfully, Redneck is my native tongue. Whenever my hunting partner (Red Card carrying native) makes a linguistic gaff, he always reminds me, "English isn't my native tongue." It is kinda like that for me.
