Firearm BS thread

That’s an awful lot of scope for chipmunks and squirrels! LOL what is that thing?

 

Why can' the real world be like Tw???...I fit in so well here!!

 

Thank you! I was thinking that EXACT same thing. That's the sort of scope you see on a .223/22 Hornet/17HMR groundhog gun out West. My Squirrel gun has a basic 4x 32mm scope and it clips skull caps just fine...

Those are M&P Mags! How do you like yours? Mine's a very accurate plinker, and fits my hand like a glove even though it's a full-size pistol and I have small hands.

 

Which mags are you talking about ?There actually aren't any m&p mags,in that photo at least.I do love all of my m&p pistols.The photo above has a little bit of glock (extended mags),some hk standard mags and some little ole 10/22 stuff for my daughter.That was a special day to me there, first time my daughter stepped up from a bb gun to a real rifle!

 

Those are H&K mags? They look almost identical to my M&P mags.
Now that I look closer, they do have a different base.

 

And I certainly don’t mean to disrespect Your build because everybody has their own reasons for why they build something that may not make sense to others! but what is your scope?, I can’t read the box. does your set up have what looks like a 20 minute canted rail also and muzzle break? You rock on buddy!

 

You guys do realize there is a 2" long lens hood on the end of the scope, don't you?

For the record, I shoot .22 silhouette in competition, and we use similar scopes.

Nothing wrong with a good, close-up view...

 

Yes, I’m quite aware of this “sunshade”on the front of the scope. I am a scope specialist. But Tactical turret on a 22 rim fire?, seems unfair to the turrets for never being able to be really used! Lol

 

I won't feel so odd putting a 6-24x50 on my 223 while my 308 only has a 4-14x44 now

 

When the squirrels rise up you will be jealous of him buddy

 

We shoot with turrets. Shooting between 40 and 100 meters requires site adjustment.

 

Yeah they actually are very similar in looks and style.I wish they were as cheap as the m&p mags lol.

 

How expensive are the H&K mags? Never owned one so I've got no frame of reference.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I certainly have no room for questioning, I built a $700 Mosin-Nagant. I was just asking

 

Unless you're trying to track them through trees. Too much zoom is a hindrance then.
For instance, the squirrels around here are tree-hoppers. They almost never hold still longer than a second or two, so you've got to be able to track them in the scope until they stop and then take a quick plink before they start bouncing around again.
Edit- Unless they're actually in the bird feeder, in which case it's an easy shot as long as they don't spot you lining up on them.

 

I occasionally shoot long range silhouette matches with my 10/22 from 50-200 yards. The turrets get a work out on those days for sure.

 

You mean on the Mosin-Nagant?

 

Is there something in here that I can't see?

 

No problem.

I admit, sometimes it does seem a little crazy to put a monster scope on a little ol' .22...

 

It certainly can - it really shows how much you wobble.

But for target shooting, the "animals" are not moving - only the shooters are!
