Gun Owning Smokers

Mangy, I think your disease is contagious. I walked in to sports authority today to check out their going out of business sale. Walked to the back because I saw some guns, wasn't expecting much. Got there and found that all of their guns and ammo was 20% off normal prices. Walked out with a Tikka T3 Lite in 300 WSM for $599 and a Taurus Model 65 .357 with a4 inch barrel for $359.

Nice Wheel gun now you have me thinking i need a 357.
Ammo storage is getting out of hand i may be able to stack it 2 more high then i have to get a cabinet or it will fall over.

That box will hurt something awful if it falls on your foot.

I went and did it again. Went back to sports authority and bought their last Benelli Nova. I needed to add a 12 ga to my collection anyway. Now I just need to get some glass for the T3

Yep at around 40 LB per box they will hurt if i drop them.

I do like the Benelli Nova's, they are basically the same as the Stoeger P350 i have and its a great shot gun.
Last time i was in PSA they had striped 1911 frames so i am thinking i will build one after i finish the last AR.
Gun collecting gets expensive fast.

Right?! I went out to Bass Pro and picked up some glass for my 300 WSM. Ended up with a Leupold VX-R 4-12x40. I think I'll be pretty happy with it.

That scope has me interested with the Eye Relief: 5-3.7" And the Reticle: Ballistic FireDot, i need to check it out.
I do need a new one for my 300 win mag getting tired of knocking my glasses off my face every trigger pull.

The Firedot reticle is pretty nice. Essentially just illuminates a small red dot at the center of the crosshairs, adjustable brightness bright-dim with a setting that slowly runs it everywhere in between so it kind of pulses. the rim on the eyepiece is rubber so even if it hits me, I doubt it will break skin. Mine has the ballistic dots. I'll let you know how those work out.

Well, got it zeroed to 100m yesterday. I only hit my eyepro once, and just a little bit with the magnification set to 14x. It took me a full 20 rounds and a very sore shoulder, but it's dead on now.
