No shooting today, except for shooting my mouth off at work.
ObSnicker: Some of the boxen I support are in England. Or Great Britain. Or whatever the hell they call it over there. When I needed some information from a user there, I was sorely tempted to include "Happy Anniversary of the Day We Told King George to Go fsck Himself" in my email.

Mighty fine rifle, Son. You gotta' love that caliber, they don't call it Swift for nothing.
And by looking at the targets, I see the rifle shoots good too! Although on the third one fom the left it looks like you had a flyer or two.
I did go plink a few .45 rounds in the back yard today. I heard the Marines doing the same thing today in their back yard. Somehow I don't think they were .45's though since the windows rattled a little with each one.
Happy 225th!

LOL.
Me and my roomie hit the range. Just finished cleaning guns. Shoot and sighted in my Savage 10FP and did a little handgun. Now onto bills and related crap.
Taxation without representation wasn't any good, but I'm beginning to believe that taxation with representation isn't too hot either!

Mal,
The two fliers are from change of loads. I went from 50 grain VMax to 50 grain Sierras. Amazing the difference the moly coated VMax makes in POI.
I LOVE THIS RIFLE.
Jewell trigger just ordered. It has a Leupold base and rings. The rings were trued on a lathe. Scope is a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40. Glass bedded action and free floating barrel. It'll shoot even better once I get the new trigger.
Anyway, Happy 4th of July!

Nice rifle! Do you want to adopt an older son? I will go shooting on the 5th.

Hubby (snakedan here on TFL) and I went to the range and had a great time shooting our black powder guns (1 rifle, 1 pistol, both are .50 cal). We figured what better way to celebrate Independence Day than to have "muzzleloader" day at the range?
Before going to the range, we watched the Patriot on cable TV.
And then to wrap things up, we're going to spend a nice quiet evening giving our smelly muzzleloaders a soapy BATH.

I went to the range early today. I was the only one there. Shot my Model 70 .300 WM and my 'home-made' .35 Whelen on a VZ 24 action. Both shot really good groups (for me). The .300 put in a 3/4" group at 100 yds with 150 gr Ballistic Tips and the .35 a 1" group with 225 gr Ballistic Tips.
Nice, relaxing, peacful way to celebreate 225 yrs of freedom earned by also burning gunpowder. And, I might add, I feel a very appropriate way!
May we remember the prices that have been paid for our freedom and guard it with the same kind of devotion!
Happy 4th to you all!
