Range Time Today!

[Guy]

Wow! Such a beautiful day here, so after the gym, I headed to the North Central Washington Gun Club with a couple of nice guns and some ammo:

What a day!


Took my 375 H&H Model 70 Winchester to the range today for the first time in quite a while. Ammo was handloaded 270 gr Hornady RNSP bullets over RL-15 for about 2700 fps. It's a rompin' stompin' load, but the well designed stock by Michael Scherz handles the recoil very well.


Scherz makes these custom scope bases specifically for Talley QD rings. I've found that I can detach the 1.5-5x Leupold, then re-mount it with no change of zero!


He really did quite a job on the rifle. Not only does it look good with that Australian leatherwood fore-end, but the Douglas barrel helps it shoot very well. I thoroughly enjoy shooting it!


After getting the rifle shooting out of my system I turned to my 45 1911 Kimber. My goodness! What a nice gun. Carry ammo of late has been this 230 gr Winchester Ranger SXT:


It was a pretty doggone nice afternoon.

Hope yours was also!

Beautiful rifle. I always love range time. Hopefully get some this weekend, if it warms up.

I have a gun with a Douglas barrel and have never shot it. Special gun that I'm worried about getting one scratch on it. Long back story on it. The barrel is real long and thicker than even some normal bull barrels. Someone not even use to shooting it said he put several shots in a quarter at 200yds, first time shooting it.

Beautiful rifle! Definitely on my wishlist!
