dang it Randy! you were supposed to call me! and here I have been practicing with my ruger M77 stainless varmit rifle in 220 swift on ground hogs for just such an occasion.

kidding of course on the calling part,but it did peak my interest enough to get out the ruger though.
now if I can just find a thousand or so cases to reload.

Truth is I bought a truck and flew out here to get it. Nephew bought the new stag and asked me to take him for the day. How do you say no to that

Was pretty impressed with the stag 556. Shooting 55gr military scrap, they patterned very well. Solid unit with almost no recoil at all. At 12X in a Athlon Argos btr scope, subject matter never was lost in the field of view.

Put about 500 rounds through. The Caldwell brass catcher sucked donkey dung. Every 5 to 10 rounds it would slide over just enough to interfere with spent shells ejecting and jam up. After about 150 rounds, I resorted to using my cap to catch brass.

Wind was the pain to deal with. Had about 20mph winds blowing and wind drift was way more apparent than I deal with in my 22-250. However, once establishingredients proper elevation at 300is yards, it was super fun to just walk the rounds right over on the rats.

Over, very stout gun with great consistency. Fun to shoot, but also very easy to shoot a lot more.

Fun afternoon with my nephew. Now, time for the 18hour ride home in the new to me truck.

Nope, it’s a nescesity to preserve my mental health. To drive a 2 track 10 miles off the main road and feel like I’m completely relaxed without a concern in the world is the best drug ever.

I hear that! My dream….. is to one day live in a residence where if I see a single car, that’s a heavy traffic day! It may never happen…. I’m not a young man anymore. However, I think about it all the time.

I brought my wife with on this trip and made it a point to show her where I intend on retiring to.

I don’t know which would be more expensive, the land or the Divorce
