Just trying to catch up

[Downeaster]

Easter Sunday morning (A Happy and Blessed Easter to all!) and it's 32 degrees and blowing a gale. I believe I'll pass on the range trip...

Speaking of dogs and snacks, Grump, like all dogs, is convinced that if Dad eats it, it must be good for dogs.

I keep a small flock of sheep. I have one big fence surrounding most of my 4 acres, and the sheep and the dog have the run of the place. What cracks me up is that Grump thinks the sheep are just really funny looking dogs. I watch her watching them graze. I can almost see her thought process: "Those other dogs are eating this grass. I can't see it myself, but if they can eat it, so can I!"

May I add my Happy Easter greetings also.
Sunny and calm here this Easter morning and a crisp and frosty 26F earlier, looks like it will be a nice day and if we get 50F this afternoon we may hit the range. Tried the range yesterday but forgot it was going to be closed for a muzzle loader fun shoot, but did get to see they had a good turn out.
Like you say, you are only as old as you feel and some days, I feel like I rode with Teddy an the Rough Riders or maybe they rode over me.
Best has advised me tha tone of the rules of being a dog is, if it's people food it must be good. Ha Grump tried grazing wit her wwoolie friends yet?

[Downeaster]

Oh yeah. She'll pull up a few mouthfuls once in a while.

With predictable and unfortunate results...

Know what you are talking about, grass goes in and grass comes out shortly from the same place it went in.

Managed to get the 10/22 out to the range this afternoon. Took me a while to get the scope zeroed at 25 yards because I was making small changes. At 50 yards shooting Fed Val Pack it did very well. I put up some of my Shoot'n'See backers, one 1" dot in the center then shot the center and the corners. From an improvised rest it was doing pretty good, all 10 rounds in, or on the edge of the dot.

The only downside was that I'm not accustomed to the grip and it was a bit uncomfortable after a while.

Happy Easter to all.

Happy Easter to all.

Now you got to find a good smith and have him take the trigger down to 2-1/2 pounds like my smith does.

Chatting with another shooter this afternoon. When he noticed I had the Glenfield Mod 60 with me, he said that he didn't think I liked Marlins since I didn't buy the 39A at the last gun show he bought. Seems I wandered through the show and didn't notice it.

He also had a Mossberg model 44 and was carrying a piece of a target in his wallet. Spread was about a dime at 50 yards. $175 through CMP

If I were living back in Missouri where we had lots of groundhogs running around, I would have to have me a Henry .22 Mag. No doubt about it. In college we busted them with .270s and .243s and what not, but I reckon now people would complain about the seismic shock waves. A scoped .22 Mag would be just what the doctor ordered. I took out a respectable number with my .22 LRs, but I confess I did have one or two make it to a hole and I can't confirm a clean kill. A hit with the .270 left no doubt.

Anyway, Downeaster, roll that Henry Mag out and just maybe run a half a box through it once a month or so. That won't break the bank and if that pesky fox shows up, you will be ready for him. In the meantime, get a Henry H001 and join the fray. After all, Kaz, BAOM, Mrs. Kaz and I can't be all wrong. TB

Weather is FINALLY warming up enough that that's an option.

Now if I can just get work to cooperate...

Not too really cold today in the low 50's but a brisk NE wind made it uncomfortable so Bear and I stayed home, work we don't worry about as neither of us does that.

It is sunshine, rain every other day and warm in GA. I have been up to no good since the last time I was on here giving Downeaster a hard time. I put a Simmons 2X scope on my Medalist using a BME mount. Shot admirably the first time out... can't wait to get it in action again. I have a Medalist LH grip coming for it, lucky to get that. I should have it by the next time I get to the range. Maybe tomorrow if it gets here today. I also got a RH target grip for my Ruger standard that I haven't even got out of the house to try out. AND, I got an Intensity Optics 6,5-24X44 mm scope for my M44b. Waiting on a Havlin's 22m side mount now to mount it up. I am really anxious to see what I can get that old gun to do with a little variety of ammunition.

I had Henry II at the range with the Medalist, and it got extremely jealous cause I shot the Medalist first. It would not pattern the Federal auto match at all! To the point where I even checked the mount to make sure the screws were tight. I will have to give it some TLC and take it down to my daughter's place and give it some undivided attention. Henry II likes to be shot by my daughter. So, fill me in, have you got all the peeps and stuff on the Henry's by now. Surely the weather has warmed up enough that y'all can follow the critters out the door. TB
