Trying to get ready for the shoot
I've had a .442/.450 Kreiger for a while now and have had intentions on bringing it to the shoot but it's going to be down to the wire. i sent jeff a barrel drop for the FF die last week with hopes of picking it up at the shoot, I screwed the barrel on at 10:00 last night, back up at 4 this morning bedding the thing, left for work at 5:30. IF I can get it bead blasted this evening, cleaned up, put together I might have something to shoot? In the meantime i have to finish loading all my stuff and getting everything together after work, it will be a long night with little sleep. Man, it's always a mad rush to get ready for a shoot but this one is down to the wire. We will see if it even shoots? If not I always have the Apex, the big gun is staying home this weekend, trying something different.
Going to have Fun Fun Fun and work on getting fat!
See you guys at the shoot, travel safely!

Thanks for reminding me, guess I should start getting things ready myself. See everyone there on Friday.

I'm sure you will have it together one way or the other. Best of luck with the new barreled rifle and the apex. Wish I could make it, everyone be safe and enjoy. |

Hopefully I got everything loaded in the truck except for drinks and food. My good buddy Russell has a chair and bench and spot under his "new and improved" pop up shelter  . I touched base with tnhunter (we are sharing a room since Scott could not make it this trip.) We should both be at the range early afternoon on Friday. Just need to boil up the taters for the Potato salad tomorrow. Be wary of Hillbill................he makes like he is dragging his butt with this gun project but then shoots really well! See ya'lls up there Friday! |

I'm not a jealous person, but I'm a very envious one of all who are able to share in the fellowship this weekend coming. Enjoy my friends.

I just bedded the scope base a few minutes ago, it was a rush job but hopefully the thing will fire, still not loaded up completely yet.

Bill I'm in the same boat as you, l put a ML together last week but only have test fired it to make sure it would go bang instead of boom!. I'll have to see how it shoots in a day or two.

I'm going to bring the new CVA that Jeff converted for me and of coarse the new gun that Jeff just finished for me ( and he won't even share a picture of it with me ) so hopefully it will go BOOM. Two new guns one only shot out to a hundred yards and the other haven't even seen so not sure how the competition will go for me. Wait I have a pretty good idea, Lol see everyone tomorrow.
