Shooting range gtg? Sounds like fun. I could contribute some, and my tikka t3 lite in 270 wsm needs to be sighted in anyways.

270WSM will be the next one I get...
A Savage weather warrior...
But I need a 346 XP first...
The only Savage I have is a Mk 1 youth model .22 single-shot bolt action. Dad bought it for me to use for hunter's ed in 1998. With CCI stinger 40-grain .22lr its very accurate, even with iron sights. It's claimed more varmits than I can count.
On another note after 2 1/2 yrs of procrastating the $152 046/460 is finally together and running. Had it out cutting a little today, still have a few carb/tuning issuses that need to be worked out. May not be pretty, but it she works. I'll try to get more pics up later.
(And a thanks to treemonkey for the parts to get it finished)

Yes you do. I see lots of orange in your future.
I would take the gun over the 346. Where's this shooting gtg going to be?

Hmm, we probably could do a small shooting gtg one of these days. If we can keep the group size down I can take us to the gun club I am a member of that is just down the road about half a mile from my house.

The range I belong too is very nicely equipped. They have a 1000yd range, a pistol range, a black powder range, a multi-purpose range, an archery range, and a shot gun range. The club owns about 400 acres and I do most of my wood cutting there and I also do some deer hunting there. It is a sweet place.

Yup. Good luck getting a moose permit, but deer permits are usually readily available in most areas... if you care to pay the fees! :msp_scared:

Not much for moose, in fact with the numbers being down they closed the season for the year. There are alot of whitetailed deer, some big ones if you can find them, mostly the ones I shoot are fairly small. I probably dont need to use a .338 winchester magnum on them but I hit them in the right spots and there isn't any wasted meat. I shot a nice black bear a few years back, I wouldn't mind going bear hunting again.

I have a few toys that make noise. Love dusting them off. Could bring the M1 Gerand if anyone would like to try shooting one of them.
I have one, too. Fun rifle! Have an '03 Springfield as well (though it's a 1917 Rock Island).
I'm itching to try the Garand on a 1000 yard range. I'd be interested in a shooting, sawing, BSing GTG!

Where are you in Minnesota?
I live south of Willmar, in Kandiyohi County. Local club has an outdoor range but the longest is 200 yards. I can shoot >100 at my place; 200 with a bit of imagination.

I still 'like' most of you guys, even if the site won't let me click that link anymore . . . .
