Someone needs to kick a grenade up there butt and pull the pin.!!!

I'm a member at Rio and it's not currently bad during the week mid day till close. The weekend is a little busy. But being a member you usually will get a bench before the general crowd. It's 150 ish I do believe to join for a single or a little more for family. The 150 is the first time as they add a administrative charge then it's like 125 or so a year afterwards. They just setup a rf I'd reader so you just scan your badge and walk in no waiting like the general during the shooting session. It's close enough to run out and shoot a few rounds and know you can do it again another day and not have to rush to try and get all your stuff dialed in .There is always another day to go back. They also have another set of bays for longer range you can get on. You have to qualify to get on them. It's a safety thing as they usually don't have a ro there. I think you have to shoot a few matches and then they will sign off your card and you can shoot the other range. There is usually no one there or very few people on it.

It's probably a little of each. The scope might not have been set for correct eye relief. I like to get the focus dialed in to clean up the cross hairs first then when setting the eye relief I run the scope up to max magnification and make sure I can still see the hairs clearly then lightly snug things down and adjust the magnification back down and make sure it's still clean.

14 inch 223 and a contender g2 frame.The scope is a few hundred just by itself. Great light weight pig killer. I have 2 gen 1 frames on blued and a stainless . Great guns no longer made and value is increasing. Glws

I guessing it's all the chicken sandwiches and such that Chick-fil-A is selling. Them chickens don't have time to do anything else but taste good ! And that cow sure has something to do with it because they are always busy as all get out .

You got me on that one .Yep it's the 14th. It's usually the second Tuesday of the month and I hadn't looked at the calendar to see when that was .Either way the giveaway is doing great for just a few months in .There were 60 total kids entered last year and I'd bet there are close to 50 already this year .Seems to be I get 3 to 5 entered each week.

Next week is the deadline to put in for elk!! Get your kids in to win !! And they could have new gear to hunt with.

Looks like Alec is getting charged for involuntary manslaughter. Maybe he should have taken a gun safety course 😏 .The gun didn't fire itself .

That's going to be loud for sure. I get looks when I'm shooting mine at the range😩 from a bunch of people. Then I break out the striker in 22-250 it has a break on it and is twice as loud. Good luck on your hunt.

If your gun is a 10 inch barrel I've got one you could borrow for your hunt. My buddy is using my Contender in 223 with the 14 inch barrel for the pig hunt .I'm in gilbert and work in Phoenix if you can't find one before your hunt.

Length of barrel will help . The 223 is usually a super 14 and the forend is a two screw .

They Damm sure had about every airline listed for sure.

If they just followed gun safety basics this would not have happened. Always assume the gun is loaded. And never point at what you don't intend to shoot.

I ran anti seize on my first gun and it's messy then I learned about the tape trick on the muzzleloader site and never looked back .Way easier to clean and the plugs don't leak or get stuck. I do like the tc grease for my other gun that shoots pyrodex . It looks like and smells like toothpaste. I use a small brass brush to clean the plug re- tape and it's good to go again.

.

Make sure to get the breach plug to run blackhorn for your new gun .They might still have them at sportsmans. I think they are around 40 bucks .Then wrap the threads with Teflon tape to prevent it ever getting stuck .

Only 4 containers of blackhorn left on the shelf at bass pro as of 1 today. Get them before there gone.

Check the link there is still more calendars aavailable.There was 160 something when I got mine ordered last week.

If your switching to blackhorn you can run your normal rifle cleaning components and oil and it will have no effect on powder burn just remember to run a dry patch after you oil it .I've currently got 20 plus shots thru my paramount pro running blackhorn and no need to clean or patch barrel yet. Absolutely weight the powder charges out if you can the volume markes on the tube are known to be off.

No ffl required so ship to your door.

Muzzle-loaders.com lists them for 369.99 and outa stock so probably a real deal .

Any help is free as I've gotten lots of help from several people here .

I got my calendar yesterday in the mail.I figure if I'm going to chase them I might as well support groups that are trying to keep us hunting them.
