    Woohoo. Got to practice some zen of bolt action this morning at MCF&G with 88. Fantastic morning. None of my groups were worth mentioning, but shot about a dozen lollipops, ran both rifles and had a really good time... :cool:

    I'm jealous!
    I can't believe I've been retired 6 weeks and I haven't made it out to MCF&G yet.
    It was suggested that I go and watch a steel match before going to shoot and intended to do just that.
    Andy had already put me through the paces months ago as an "orientation" and I've wanted to follow through with that.
    Just like I'm out of state now, I have been gone or had other things come up earlier.
    When not working it easy to think: next week or next month. :dunno:
    46th Anniversary coming up soon, so another delay in the hobby pursuit.

    I used to find excuses to not go out to MCF&G, but now I go anytime it's remotely convenient. Pretty much any Saturday or Sunday they don't have events scheduled, I try to run out and spend an hour shooting. Pretty nice way to start a day, especially if I have coffee with me so I can sit out and enjoy nature while sipping my go juice... ;)

    I have caught the madness. I just bought a Ruger 10/22 at Cabela's today. $214 plus tax. My first rifle, it goes nicely with my Ruger Mark IV.

    Today I had a chance to sight in the Henry Golden Boy with the newly installed Leupold VX-Freedom 2-7x33 rimfire scope and follow up with my standard accuracy testing at 50 yards. The results are much better than expected and should improve further once I get a cheek riser/rest. The chin weld is doable, but does cause some neck strain after an extended range session. I am pleased with the Leupold scope.

    Onto the results. Once again with this rifle, the top 3 were Aguila SV, CCI SV and Wolf Match Target. I accidentally shot the CCI with 6 shots instead of 5, so had I not done that the CCI probably would have came out on top again. I think with an actual cheek weld on the stock and a little more time with the rifle I could get a little closer to 1 moa accuracy out of it.

    Aguila SV = 0.693"
    CCI SV = 0.774"
    Wolf Match Target = 0.975"

    Interesting how similar the order of accuracy matches with the iron sights and the scope.

    Most everything is set out and mags are loaded for a range trip tomorrow. I'll be practicing for Monday's NRL22 match.

    25, 35, 50, 75 and 100 yards this time. Targets from 1/4" to 5". With a target as small as 2" at 100 yds I'll have to have my hold overs dead on.
