Ventured out this weekend, in 0 degree temperatures and did some shooting:
put the first rounds through a 91/30 with a loaner bolt. Worked like a charm and the bore is in fantastic shape, shoots very high, but its compensatable. 
I'm alive! 
hot drink in cold weather is a requirement 
here we have just completed the hike back up to the cars, you'll notice the fancy all wheel drive Subaru completely bottomed out in the snow in the upper right hand corner, that took about an hour and two attempted towing's to get out, but we did it all in all a good outing, but I cannot fucking wait for summer. |

Great job!
Bigger balls than I... Well, actually, with it being that cold, probably not, but you get the idea. IBTH. In before the haters! |

We've been shooting every Friday and Sat this winter, except for that -30 cold snap we had a little while ago. In the beginning it was a fun challenge...now it's just brutal and hard to keep your hands warm. When it starts getting into the single digits, the guns have a hard time running. This is the third year in a row we've shot all winter long. Wish I had the money/time to open an indoor range.

How do you like the eotech mounted on the handgaurd like that? I've been thinking of doing it to one my SBR's.

Hey dude Where about in VT are you located? I'm in the Lake George, NY region, and am only a short skip and a hop away from the NY/VT border. Let me know if you would like to hookup sometime to shoot. It's always cool to meet new people from this site.

I've been thinking of doing it to one my SBR's. that's a buddy of ours, I'd recommend against it. little eothingy computers don't take kindly to all the associated heat and vibration of being mounted above a barrel. If you were going to mount there, I would only consider it with an aimpoint, and even then why bother? if you have a flattop its best to use it. |

Dude, count me in. I'll make the trip. Just give me a time and a date. Perhaps we
could even get a few other guys from upstate NY and the VT region to join in. It's always cool to meet up with new shooters from this site. IM me with the facts.

I'm going there soon with a buddy from work. I'm about a mile from there right now as I work at CHP near the Shelburne museum. Let me know if you want to meet up, we always go right after work ~2:45pm. How far down can you drive with all the snow? |
