What did you do at the range today?

[1000yards]

Had the mounting screws shear on my pic rail today and caught an NXS with my face.

How are you going to fix that?

Have a smith remove the broken screws and then go ahead and upgrade to #8 screws

Stopped at another range to check velocity on some 44's. 240's @1200 through a 4-5/8" ruger and @ 1060 through a 2.75" S&W. Plenty enough juice for my needs. Still trying to find grips for that bisley that work for me.

Then ran around and worked on my offhand shooting Pretty decent day. Right outta the gate I smacked that rat with the 45 at around 30yrds. Got me cocky enough I couldnt hit shit with that gun after that

Those Ruger Bisleys are pretty appealing...

 

[RockAndSage]

So that was a super blackhawk. Bisley grip frame, trigger, and hammer off midway IIRC. Couple evenings drinking beer and holding a file and it was done. First an probly the only time I have been happy I had stainless as you can carve on it all you want and it still looks the same..

Honestly though. For my needs. That model 69 is my favorite of the two. I really do think the 4" m69 might be the perfect revolver. Its on my list

That's awesome, wasn't aware you could get swapable frames/hammers, etc.

Just saw this Model 69 come up for sale yesterday, I think. Definitely cool guns:

Mar 14, 2026

Selling pistol FFL to FFL. Maybe 200 rounds through it. Do have a safariland hip holster for it as well that sits down a few inches so carry with backpack is easy. Shows wear from holster and very slight site corrosion on front site only from an Alaskan moose hunt, otherwise 9/10 condition. Listed locally as well. Possible trades could be rifle in 22-250, 22CM, 25CM, 7PRC; Tikka action

$725 plus FFL fees

Also found a pretty good group for my daughter's 243.

Yikes! I had that happen once as well. You might want to look into a pic rail with a lug to prevent that from happening (even with larger screws).

Remington 700 Long Action Improved Scope Rail (ISR-LA)

At Area 419 we decided that there were no scope bases on the market that really met our requirements for quality, so we made our own. Its all in the little details that set this base apart from the competition. These are machined in house on our 4-axis HAAS VMC from 7075 Aluminum. Straight...

Did some load development for my 6mm arc with Varget, lever, some 108 ELDMs, 105 hybrids, alpha brass, and CCI 450s. Loads ranging from 2587 fps through 2815 fps. Found some winners for sure.

Austin, what barrel length on your 6 Arc?

I actually just ordered that area 419 rail last night and the one I had on there already had a lug on it but it sheared off too.

My fast 6mm at 720 with 20 MPH sustained winds and 40-50MPH gusts.. Was across a canyon and either got a funny downdraft or I just suck as usual on the low shot. Small impacts are the RSS at 720 the day before with just a slight breeze.. 12X17 inchish target.

Thanks. Thinking about cobbling together a 6Arc just so I have an excuse to get some of that Alpha brass.

No problem! Definitely a fun little cartridge and the alpha brass is awesome!

Finally got back out to the range yesterday evening. Did a slow roll through my lower portion of the walk through course with a couple of buddies. We worked on positional shooting and shooting on lower magnification settings. Overall it was a good time and everyone shot pretty well.

 

[justinspicher]

Took the kids out for a pistol fam this evening. That was a good time.

 

[1000yards]

Just got to ~1,000 rounds on my Sauer 100 6.5 Creedmoor -no cleaning at all. Checked my zero then checked the drop at 460 yards. I was having problems with my elevation corrections before this, looks like it was probably a tolerance stack situation. I basically tightened everything up with my zero, the actual range, the velocity, and a different ballistics program.

 

[justinspicher]

I shot the upper west side of my walk through course with a buddy last night. I had one spot in particular that gave me fits.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

On Thursday afternoon, I went back to the range with my T1X and my .223 T3. I warmed up really well with the T1X and started off the .223 practice with real enthusiasm. Unfortunately, 25 rounds in I noticed that I had forgotten to zero out my scope after the last 300-yard session. I was so disgusted with myself that I packed up and went home.

 

[elsb0048]

Went out to see if I could stretch out a little further at a spot my buddy has a bench with 100-300yd targets. Found a spot to get out to ~600. I guessed at a ~5-10mph wind felt where I was at, from my rear & to the right. Shooting over ~200' deep draw with no veg to gauge in the middle.

Had a first round hit shooting prone on bags at 590 and then the wind turned on a little more. Took me two shots to spot the impact and correct ~0.5mil but I felt pretty good about being able to spot the hit in the scope instead of having to watch the video back like my last range trip.

Similar results at 480 shooting seated with a stump and my backpack. 1 hit in the wind lull. 1 miss when the wind turned back on and then held .2-.3 mil of wind to hit 3 more.

finished off shooting a 10 shot group at 100 just to monitor my zero.

 

[waspocrew]

On Thursday, I shot my 6 ARC AR-15 testing out the 87 Vmax with Varget and Lever. 5 round groups and started with Varget. Thought I just suck at shooting or it didn't care for the Varget. First group with Lever showed the rifle clearly prefers that combo.

Came home a loaded up 100 rounds at 31.2 to take to WY for the weekend.

 

[waspocrew]

I brought a few rifles down to WY with me, one of which is a new Marlin 1894 357 lever action. I was able to get it pretty well dialed in with a red dot and 158 gr federal factory ammo. 5 shots at 100 yards, not too shabby. I'll probably toss an actual scope on there for some load work up. Once I settle on a load, I'll go back to the red dot.

 

[waspocrew]

Forgot to add - spotted this shed antler when leaving our shooting range. I’m not mad about finding it from the truck haha.
