So far, so good. With the dry weather and threat of fires here, I've only had it out a few times out to 100 and I'm definitely the limiting factor.
We're getting ready to move here in a bit and there's a range with steel out past a mile a few minutes away, I'm looking forward to properly stretching its legs when we get there.

My 6.5CM shoots the 142g load much better than 120g. I don't have access to a range over 100yds, but I would love to try and reach out a little. I did harvest a buck from 266yds a couple of years ago and it dropped him.

I didn't shoot today sadly. But it's a lot cooler outside. I put my .38 in my waistband to walk inside, God! That steel was cold!!!

Thanks. And you are right about ammo prices. I saw some defensive 9mm on Monday that was $40/box. I said no thanks and just took a .22 to the range. I saw a guy shooting a bunch of rounds out of an AR at the 50yd range. He shot at least 300 rds at his targets and decided to watch for a minute. All of his rounds were hitting the top of the gravel berm, at least 12' above his targets. After he left I walked down to check my targets and looked at his and he had zero holes in the paper. I don't think he had a clue as to where he was shooting. But I never saw him make any adjustments to his scope. I just found the whole thing strange.

I went to the range today to sight in my .22 rifle after mounting taller rings to get a better sight picture and consistent cheek weld. Once sighted in pretty close I shot my best 5 shot group to date from 50yds using a front bag.

I love this gun and am extremely happy with this. Especially for 67 year old eyes.

British Enfield

There was a pair of coyotes trying to get in to the fence with my Pit and the wife's Yorkie. The Enfield was the closest rifle and I didn't want to try 40 yards with a Glock 26 first thing in the morning.
