Shooting Range night at the ranch
Got out to the “range” tonight. Shot a variety of firearms. Had alot of fun! if you don’t care to read all this skip to the end where I get to the point. The Savage axis 308 in an mdt field stock reached out to 500 yards on steel with a crappy tasco 4-16x50 I really need to swap it out for something better it’s very yellow and grainy. The taipan x in .223 shot some decent 2” groups at 100 yards. I need to work on my steadiness Messed around with the wrangler blackout in 357 it really rings the 1/2 ar500 plates. Obliterated some 2l milk jugs with the Ege Levar12s and put a couple hundred rounds through the 2 tm22’s the 16” pro is growing on me it runs really nice have a cheap cvlife 1-4 lpvo on it nice crisp picture although 1x seems like it’s almost zoomed out and 1.5 seems to be no magnification it’s also fairly accurate averaging 1-1.5” groups at 25 yards just shooting federal auto match and less than 4” groups at 100 yards as i can hit the 4” ar500 plate pretty much everytime.
Okay here’s the end. the Morisson lever iron wolf is still my hands down favorite plinker. I was having some light strike issues after 400 ish rounds which turned out to be gummed up firing pin I think it was 1 in 5 light striking and I cleaned the pin out with brake clean and air and it came out black and chunky. Tonight I tried it out for the first time since cleaning and first shot. Light strike. Damn it okay let’s keep going well the next 70 rounds no light strikes so I’m thinking it’s fixed lol. Also pretty sweet groups at 25 yards the bottom group was free standing (I’m fat and out of shape) the top 2 were sitting and resting elbows on the table. Not to bad the more I get out the better I’ll get. Shit this part was long too sorry guys I’ve got no friends and my wife doesn’t wanna listen to me ramble about this stuff. Anyways get out there and have fun!

Nice. I just bought the Morrison a couple weeks ago and finally got out last weekend to go shoot some gophers. Put a cheap 3x9 on it and just sighted as I went. Had some issues with it firing about 3” left or right at about 50 yards. Minimal wind. Unsure if I was overcompensating when adjusting my scope. Hoping to get out this weekend to properly sight it in. Put probably 150rds of Remington through and every round fired as it should.
