Just when my weblog is experiencing another upswing of readership (thanks to the kind linkage at Snowflakes in Hell this time around), I go and disappear on you all again. This time it is going to be for a few weeks, and while I may be able to post something in those coming days, it will not be often, and it will not be much. Feel free to poke around as much as you like – after all, this weblog has almost two years of archives – and let me know what you think of this place. Upon my return, I should have a few interesting things to talk about… at the least, the first range report of the SOCOM II (I give you all three guesses as to what its name is.), once I figure out how to sight it in and all of that good stuff. Any suggestions on that, by the by, feel free to leave a comment. I have never before sighted in a rifle, and while I have read a few sets of instructions online, first-hand help would certainly be appreciated.
And I have nothing else. With that, I bid you adieu.
You have read how to sight in a rifle. Now go to the range and just do it. You will only learn by doing it. Trial and error.
Fair enough, Harp. I just do not so much like the idea of “error” when adjusting a multi-hundred-dollar tool by myself with no previous experience. Ah’m a scardy-cat like that.
Guess I need to see if any of the few rifle ranges in the area have a bench/rest/sandbag I could use…
Linoge,
A post I put at left rudder. Will never make it through the filter there. In response to your “hate mail”.
Don’t fret about those who are in the military and those that aren’t. Last time I checked, there is an all volunteer military and a Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to put military style weapons into civilian hands. If Linoge is ever called up in a time of national crisis, it will take that much less time to train him.
And I am happy to announce that my son is a year older today and my guns still haven
Thanks for the thoughts, Mike. It really is none of his business whether I serve in the military or not, and history has taught never to discuss one’s current employment on one’s weblog. Your mileage may vary, though.
Also, thanks for bringing the CMP to my attention… Going to have to see if they allow that kind of thing in Kalifornistan. I agree with you on my firearms, though… if these are evil baby-killing demon-guns, I want a bloody refund. They seem to be defective.
