It's great working from home in the country I get to go shooting whenever I feel like it! So I ran up to the field today and roughly measured off 250 yards with my ATV. I then sat at my picnic table and took 5 shoots and here is what happened. Is it great NO not by a long shot but it shows what can be done. I imagine if I worked at it and took more then a couple minutes to do it I could be better. How much I really couldn't tell you but I'm sure a little. 1583661.jpg

Would you recommend this rifle for chipmunks and moles in a wooded suburban setting? My golden retriever pulls the moles out but never finishes the job. If the gun won't work, maybe I should consider getting another dog that will finish the job.

The sights on my BB gun have never been very accurate (after I messed with them one time). Anyway, it's so old now (maybe 25 years old) that it doesn't hold air very good. I think that ring made of foam/sponge is pretty dried up.

Nice! My AK has the same stock and bipod (all black). But if I were to shoot 250 yards around here I'd have to go through 20 houses, some cars, a few people, 12 businesses, some roadsigns and a bunch of people to do it.

By the way at 250 yards thats a nice looking target.

I put a scope on my SKS Carbine and was grouping 2" at 125 yards.

I scoped my 7.62cal. AK and couldn't group better than 1.25" at 100yds.

Notoriously inaccurate weapons because that stupid snap-on cover does the wiggle wobble.

Pecan - You need a side mount or open sights.

Using my snap-on cover with stock factory peep sight produces 2"-3" groups at 100yds. Sure is a pretty gun in .308, though, and kinda rare now. Probably do better throwing rocks at the target.

I always wanted to scope my Garand 30-06. B-Square made a side mount, but I was forced to sell that rifle years ago. The fella in Wyoming who bought it said it was the finest Blue Sky Garand (reimported from Korea) he'd ever seen, and he collected Garands. It had a brand-spanking new Winchester bbl. and a used WRA trigger group. The receiver was Springfield. I refinished the stock, added an original stacking swivel, and thought that was one gorgeous rifle with a helluva lot of history behind it.

Sounds like a beautiful rifle. You mentioned history that is why I like collecting old Double Barrel shotguns. I just like holding them and trying to imagine all the good times had.

Folks who don't like guns don't understand the many aspects of owning them.

Wee in that case, don't hang around after you let a few rounds fly. (;-)
