Second Range Day With Rio Grande And New Club !

[wll]

So I made it out to my new shooting club out here in Lancaster, CA.

Used to belong to Desert marksman years ago and just rejoined. I went just to see the old range and test fire the Rio Grande after installing .500 marbles front sight. Well I bought a 1/16 brass dot and for these tired eyes it is just to small., so i ordered a 3/32 in .500 and .530.

I still may be shooting a little high, maybe 8 inches, but can't tell as I fired only a few shots. I will go back when I get the new sights and then buckle her down. She definitely is a big boomer and I can hardly start loading for her.

Also took my Mosin Nagant and that gun shoots high, I will cover the front sight pin with a thin straw or cotter pin to make it longer, need about .100 I believe.

All and all a good day, nice to get out and shoot a bit. I have a safety new members meeting next Sunday, looking forward to it !

Sounds like you had a good day. Any day shooting is a good day.... Been raining here since last night on and off. I did send about 10 rounds of 45-70 down range yesterday so my shoulder needs some rest. And its Sunday so that means reloading and football in no particular order or at the same time.

While your at it, reload some 45-70 for me until my powder comes in
