I'm becoming fond of this latest rig... enough that I'm changing the plan a bit. This one's staying a pistol.I've come up with some changes to the carbine design that will require some parts and materials orders, and just ordered another "victim"... from MM. We'll see what comes, but my experience so far has been that I won't regret letting the guy inside my new gun before I see it. I don't do that, ever... but, the 79 he sold me remains unmodified as I chop up everything else around here. There is simply no hurry on that one.Does anyone else like the look of the long one? It's growing on me, and the balance is actually quite good.
Thanks! It's a ton of fun to shoot, especially reaching out from a rest.
Is it often done where someone mounts a reflex sight on top of a scope just for sighting a target?
Not really. If you shoot with a high power scope, at long range, in a featureless landscape you can sometimes get lost. If your "weak" eye is really weak, it makes it harder to spot, then switch eyes. If you have only 1 eye, well... you get the picture.
You beat my edit in.
And I am, most definitely, not.
Seriously, George, I have had a lot of fun in life... but I didn't find contentment until I decided to be as patient with myself as others seem quite willing to be. I know it seems like a duh, but... I had a friend named "Blue" (and he was) who had a tattoo you could barely see of a happy turtle, trucking somewhere, with the words "Slow, but Sho' ". He was light years ahead of me in finding some peace.At the bottom of my contact page, I put my little motto: "Working to standards, not deadlines." I'm not sure when it started, but I seem to be growing up...
Began work on a first for me... a Dueling Set!
They are both .177, but I see why you ask. It's a trick of the light... but the furthest looks bigger!According to my chamber reamer, they are nearly (if not) identical.
