This is sick....not meant for the meek to view

This is my granddaughter with her 2nd rifle. I gave her an adult size 22 a long time ago but she needs to grow into it.

 

[Peyton Manning]

wow she's a cutie. get her on tv instead of the boo boo girl

 

[packerbacker]

lol

 

[Peyton Manning]

what is that you're holding in your avatar? a flounder?

 

[Peyton Manning]

oh and BTW I'll take a nice old 30-30 if you have one to spare

 

[packerbacker]

It's a 100lb halibut caught in Alaska. Closest thing to a 30-30 is a Winchester 32 special. Nice brush gun. Got a bunch of other calibers at our disposal. Angelina likes the AR's. I know, that's sicker than the 22. Some people just enjoy and respect guns without fearing them.

 

[packerbacker]

She also likes loading skeet.

 

[packerbacker]

her sister is very good with her 20 gauge.

 

[Peyton Manning]

are you a dealer?

packerbacker,

Don't get em started on the AR's. They will break you. My daughter now has an older Colt, H-bar NM and has claimed my Core 15 M4. Will have to admit her H-bar is incredible. I shot a one hole 3 rnd group with LC M193 off the bags at 50yrds the last time I shot it using the stock front and rear. Nothing is more fun for the kids than the .22lr though. I bought a CZ scout to keep at the range for the kids who come with Dad. About half the time I have to take it away from the Dads and give it back to the kids ...... ha ha. Wonderful thing about the time spent with them shooting, they will remember it the rest of their lives.

Now the little one needs a 410 to practice her skeet shooting.

 

[packerbacker]

No, just a hobbyist. My grandson has been shooting for years. He has shot everything we have including a 44mag pistol and a 338 Win mag. He shoots quarter size targets at 15 yards with his 22. He shoots plate size targets with the AR at 250 yards with open sights. He's lousy with skeet though.

 

[packerbacker]

I know TN, one of my sons reloads the ar stuff a thousand at a time. I took 3 different 22's to the range this day and really went through some shells. Had a semi-auto, a bolt action and a single shot. They liked the 22 shorts in the bolt and single shot. Could hardly hear them.

packerbacker,

I found some new magic last week you need to try if you get a chance. The Core 15's come with a 1/7 chrome lined bore on most models. They will shoot most loads fine and as expected like the heavy stuff a little better. I was well pleased to see them under MOA with the federal 69 grain match (Sierra BTHP match). One of my friends wanted me to set one up with a scope and riser for his son to deer hunt with. I think the .223 is too light but was not my call. To get good penetration I ordered some of the Barnes Vortex 55 grain TSX ammo to try in it. Went 55 instead of heavier to insure expansion from the 16 inch barrel. Incredible accuracy. Literally under .5 MOA load from a stock rifle. Consistently got 1" or just under at 200 yards with just a 3X9X50 Zeiss Conquest mounted on it. Couldn't believe the accuracy for a milspec AR. Tried it with another Core 1/7 and got near the same results. Not saying the Core's are anything special but the combo worked. If you ever have a need for penetration in an AR hunting load I would sure give Vortex 55 gr. TSX a try.

Pink, oh no! Great pic.

TN....this is a wild hog my son shot and killed with one shot from an SKS.

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

he is lousy with skeet because of his shooting stance...elbow up....

good to train those children early...

 

[packerbacker]

You're correct pip. We keep telling them to lean into the weapon but they keep leaning back. This was just a fun day to spend some ammo so we didn't get too hard on them.
