Ooooh, big fail from my perspective!!

That is a very treacherous path you choose to go down.
Everytime you buy something she's going to expect something too. Not a bad theory on the surface, but keep us posted on what you get when she buys a big ticket item.

A nice 3-9x scope or a 4x scope would do real good on that bad boy. A red dot would be pretty cool too depending on what and how far you guys plan on shooting (squirrels? targets? junk?)

I have a 4x32 on my 10/22 but wish I had something a little more powerful honestly. I took it to my friend's house in Indy and was blasting from across the yard, and it was difficult to spot my target (a 4"x4" ammo box).

I would have gave a her a new BF

If we ain't married she wouldn't tell me what to spend my dough on.

Got up to Green Bay with the kids to meet up with Brian. The show was PACKED, unbelievably crowded in there. Beautiful little gun for the kids, perfect weighting. Picked up a 25 round clip from Brian and a cheapy red dot (want to see how they do with and without one before getting a nice one). Will look around for some of the other cool shit towards spring

Thanks again to Brian for the help and direction.

lol, I just noticed that, bolt wasn't even locked. Yeah, she has yet to go through a course.

One of the things Josh learned about range shooting is to never go down range without making sure everyone's gun was clear. Well over Christmas at my parents we were throwing an old plastic bucket way out and blasting that around and it managed to get stuck in a fence a ways away so I told Josh to go get it. Well he just starts running out to get it, never checking with me. I asked Braden what he did wrong and Braden tell me that he did not make sure my gun wasn't loaded. I said "you are correct" and cracked off the one shot I had left straight up into the sky. Well Josh dives face first into the snow about 30 yards away and looks back. I yelled out out "Forget to do something?"

He has YET to forget that lesson.

lol nice

Those Butler Creek mags are nice, they're all I use. Did you get the steel lips or the plastic "hot lips"?

**Lash** · 01-05-2010, 05:28 PM

Steel is the ONLY way to go.

**TheRX7Project** · 01-05-2010, 05:43 PM

You know, I haven't had any problems with the Hot Lips. They feed nice, they seem to be lasting pretty well... maybe it's just me but I don't see the big deal.

Damn i really have to take my 10/22 out. Bought it nearly two years ago on an impulse purchase and it's still sitting in the box
