Well, While I'm waiting for parts........

I thought I'd do a little shootin':

Here's a group I shot with my buddy's 7mm Rem. Mag. While building a custom load for it. I guess it'll suffice, huh?


Here's one I shot with my wife's rifle:


We're going out to do some video's in a couple weeks. I'll post them up for ya when we get them. If they're any good that is.
Just thought I'd share one of my other boring hobbies .

lots
although our range is only about 250 yards sadly. shot a civlian issue 50 cal down there once at a can set out at the end of the range. never found all of the can

My fathers ex special forces and a 35 year martial artist. been learning about both since i was very young.

Darn sure hope your not shooting to the southeast there Doug.

Thanks Dave. Yes, the 7 Mag has a fairly heavy 29" Hart barrel. I use #4 (medium sporter weight) Douglas barrels on all the rifles I build for myself and my family. I do all the bedding on the actions of the rifles I "tune up," and take alot of pride in the work I do to them. Afterall, I have a pretty good reputation in these parts, I need to uphold it.

Bill, I didn't mean to imply that shooting is boring. It's anything but. I have a blast doing it. It helps me relax and clear my mind. What there is of it that is. The part I love most about the shooting sports is introducing a new youngster to the sport. Both the shooting, & reloading side of it. My son is an exceptional shot himself. A couple summers ago he and I were invited out to shoot a Mil-Spec Barrett M-107. My son smoked a 1 Liter water bottle @ 660 yds. with only his 2nd rd. ever fired through it. The 1st being at a paper target @ 100yds. to see how he liked it. Before he made the shot on the water bottle, the guy asked me if he was a good shot. I replied, better than average. After he blew up the water bottle, the guy says to me, "better than average my a**"

Doug...

Yeah, I figgered there was a bit of sarcasm about the "boring shooting".

Bet you were a proud daddy when your son nailed the water bottle......better than average......bit of an understatement!!! Nice job.
