The wife wanted to do something together so i said lets go shooting. (she has never wanted to come with before.) So i pack up my ar and a couple pistols and head out to Gopher. Brought the camera with and she snapped a few.   100yds to the back targets  Wife being nice and picking up a bunch of empties people left.  just seeing how everything patterns at 100yd. using Winchester 55gr fmj 5.56 ammo.  still not impressed with the gun. So far thats the best i have shot with it. i can connect rounds with my .308 consistently but this thing walks all over. It doesn't shoot .223 rounds that well, i'll get flyers every other round. Between this winchesters and the federal xm193 factory reloads it will average about moa. I've shot 69 gr, 62gr, 55gr and 50gr through it (White Oak Armament SPR barrel with the 1/7 twist) and it seems to like the 5.56 55gr rounds the best. anyway, we both had a fun time. She shot my kimber 10mm until her hand got sore, which was about 10 rounds. Then she shot the S&W .22 and seemed to like that the best. I think she claimed the .22 as her gun now because she wants me to put the tasco pro point i have on it. |
I was there. Had to wait over an hour for a lane. Got off about 30 rounds on a P3AT before Ms GoBlue called and said the dog had to go to the emergency vet. |
Do you still like it though? As far as feel goes? I am pretty much sold on using a V Tac on my 6.8 upper with one of their adjustable gas blocks. That one looks very similiar. |

my barrel: Special Purpose Rifle White Oak Armament SPR Match Barrel This SPR .223 barrel is the product of the Army's Squad Designated Marksman Rifle Development Program, which was assigned the task of improving the accuracy of the standard issue rifle against targets out to 600 meters. This would allow the valued marksman or sniper the ability to stay concealed within the squad by carrying a weapon that looked similar to the rest. It was found that by carrying a dissimilar rifle, he had become an easily recognizable high-priority target. We offer this barrel to the tactical user or casual shooter interested in the ability hit distant targets with issued or mag length ammunition. · 18 Inch 1:7 twist Match Grade Stainless Steel barrel · Chambered to give excellent performance and reliability with a wide variety of ammo · Retains the same sight radius as a standard 20" barrel · Light weight contour ( total weight of 41 ounces ) · Threaded muzzle to accept a flash hider or muzzle brake |
I'm out at Gopher Campfire quite often. However, now that it's after the 1st of the year, I need to find time to get to Crow River to renew my membership. I wish he had normal shop hours, and not bankers hours? Anyway, I'm sure I'll see you out there one of these days. |

go to shmellings (no idea how you spell it) gas station kitty corner from the liquor store in hutch. thats were i bought my membership last year. depending on the weather i'm going to try to head out there this sunday. i'll post in here with an update on what my sunday plans are if anyone is interested in heading out to gopher this weekend. |
Nope, I was pulling a cable and lost my grip, the cable tore the skin off the inside of my pinky fingers on both hands. Right inside the joints on each one. For about three days I got a reminder evertime I made a fist/tried to grip anything. You have no idea how painfull tying your shoes can be? |
Damn i hate having a vivid imagination. finger fillet on ile 10. |
Actually My War is over rating his wounds! That guy has some little boo boo's! Not like he had lost a bit of skin like laying down a cycle or sliding into home plate! He is just going for the sympathy vote! The way he shoots that HK that you got him started on probably did more damage then his cable pulling incident!

WOW, that one stung. Bear pit here we come.

No No No.... I didn't overate my wounds, I specificaly said inside the joints of each pinky finger. You guys made it sound like I was a prime candidate for skin grafts!!! Not to mention, RN is... well an RN (for an ER if I'm not mistaken)! So unless you have a carbumper sticking out of the center of your forehead, it's just a papercut to him! And I shot my H&K just fine, but the other guns were all brand new to me..... yeah, that's my excuse. RN and I have a different opinion on shooting, he likes to put all the bullets through on hole in the target (which he does very well I might add). I figure I bought the whole target, I may as well shot at the whole thing, you know spread em out a little! Hey they all hit the target at least.
