THE RZA Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have a D60, it's a novel item for 5.56 IMO I also have the D-50 for .308 and for the CZ Scorpion. In both applications it's fine, with an AR-10 I'm more than likely shooting from the prone or a bench so it's fun to mag dump cheap 150 grain ball ammo with. The D-50 for the Scorpion is great, that rifle shoots so soft and I go through 30 round mags fast. It's not too heavy for a Scorpion....makes for a good time on the range!

chowser51 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 My son's 15th birthday present is coming along. Slide just got back yesterday. Waiting on the grips and barrel. For now I stuck my old threaded barrel in it just to look at the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Peterson Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Looking like the Leupold scope I had planned to mount on the Mini-14 is going to end up on the Marlin 60 I picked up kind of on impulse a year or so ago. Quite a bit more scope than gun, but these 73 y/o eyes need the optics and I might as well work with what I already have on hand. Health issues involving an implanted port in my upper right chest argue against shooting centerfires at least for the foreseeable future but I'm pretty sure I can handle .22LR and possibly .17HMR. Just waiting now on some rings to show up. Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 You can have a lot of fun with .22LR. And it's a LOT cheaper than any centerfire, even at today's prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Sure can. The Marlin is keeping a Henry lever gun and my son's bolt-action rifle company in the gun safe, along with an AR7 (which was not a complete impulse purchase - I had the plastic toy version of that one as a kid). And there's a couple of .22 pistols. So I've got a number of ways to burn through my stock of .22LR once I'm up to the trip to the range. I hear you on ammo prices - Cheaper than Dirt seems to be getting about 30¢/round for .22LR unless you get 5000-round boxes of Armscor 36 grain where it's still north of 20¢/round. Used to be what, about a nickel a round? Thinking back to when I bought thousand round boxes of .223/5.56 for $400 at Shooter's . . . or steelcase 7.62x39 for the AK at about $4/20 at Cabela's (still have a fair amount of each left). <sigh> Norm Edited October 11, 2021 by Norm Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Well, the scope rings showed up this afternoon, so I spent quite a bit of time getting everything together and bore-sighted as good as can be done at about 5 yards inside the house. The scope has a green dot, and it's kind of cool to watch it move relative to the red boresight dot as elevation and windage knobs are adjusted. Getting the scope's vertical hair to be vertical relative to the gun (and stay there while tightening the rings) took more time. I did think to correct for scope height above the barrel (1.5") and a typical .22 LR bullet trajectory (should be just under an inch under the scope's dot/crosshairs at that distance, given that 50 yards is probably going to be my zero distance for .22 LR rifles).

rodan Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Well, I went down the rabbit hole and built a 6.5 creedmoor... Bergara Premier barreled action Triggertech trigger KRG stock Athlon Cronus optic Then, I spent a stupid amount of $$$ on some Hornady ELD Match ammo. And today I took it to the range for the first time. Only had time for a few (11) rounds before work stuff, just enough for a quick 100 yard zero. First two rounds (boresighted) were touching on the right side of the paper an inch high. Made one scope adjustment, and fired three more rounds centered (.75 MOA). Next three were on the upper left (.5 MOA plus a called flyer), and three more on the upper right (.5 MOA). Pretty pleased for the first 11 rounds out of a brand new gun, shooting off a picnic table. Next time out will be on a real bench, and over a chronograph so I can start working up the dope. Edited November 8, 2021 by rodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowser51 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Grips arrived. Ready to surprise my son for his 15th birthday at the end of the month. For those that don't know, it's from the Resident Evil video games. Not an exact replica but in the style of Chris Redfield. Lots of different things went into this one. My old Brig modified with: Slide engraving and coating by Middlebranch Machine. G decoker with right side delete by WAL. Barrel in CPII by CCR. NP3 trigger and Optimized Trigger Bar from LTT. Elite hammer and extended mag release from Beretta. Grips by Collector Design Works. I have grips coming from DS Grips as well. Working on another Beretta for those.

m sprank Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Poo has hit the fan while on high. Dropped off 24 firearms at Loudoun Guns on consignment last week. Plan is to drop off another 11 this week. I am losing my shirt on the deal, selling at literally less than 1/2 the cost to purchase or build. I may be able to keep my Mossburg 500, my wifes shield and XDR and my little girls .22. Everything else must go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk No. Because I did not do my due diligence and follow up on an agreement with a business lender. The T's were not crossed and the I's are not dotted. So 4 years later a scum bag law firm files a one page document with the CA Secretary of State and holds Lien on any and all of my current and future funds/property. In order to satisfy the Lien (and stop a Lien sale on my home) I am robbing "Peter to Pay Paul" and simultaneously cashing out everything else in my life.
