Partner and I and the nefew headed off to the range today, a long overdue trip, indeed.

Partner has come into a few dollars, and hell, he’s a single guy so he has disposable income,so he’s been buying stuff.

Stuff like a pristine Krag-Jorgensen. I mean, the wood is gorgeous. It’s blue is a little weak, but whattya want for a 100+ year old gun? Anyway, it shoots like blazes. And we shot his new (Well, to him, anyway) Springfield 03A3. I brought my Swiss rifle, and we all took a swipe at it. And he had his M1 Carbine, which was a dream to shoot, and to look at.

We shot everything at 100 yards. We were shooting at 16″ x 20″ targets. We kept them on the paper. Pretty good shooting, actually, for a bunch of fat old guys with bad eyes.

Oh, and i shot the Marlin 336. It loves to feed the new Hornady Leverevolution rounds. And I love to shoot it. I shot it best of anything.

All in all? A great range day. I mean, I love to have rifles that have reach out and touch something. And to be able to repeatably hit a man sized target at 100 yards? Feels good. I like it fine.

Steve usually writes well, but this is above average. Money quote:

We all know conservatives give more than liberals, as a general rule, even as we complain about high taxes. We’re not complaining because we want to hoard our money. We’re just asking for the right to decide whom to give it to, instead of putting the decision in the hands of godless bureaucrats who reward laziness, perversion, dishonesty, and other evil traits. We know that private citizens do a better job of just about everything, and that includes giving.

Don’t know why it plays on Kelly’s site, but Youtube has removed it. Enjoy it while you can.
