UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Do you know what he paid?

 

mmm k well ive been looking at some pictures and both top and bottom look the same on both, the only thing im wondering is how long are they, cause the 2nd gen struts are longer then the 1st gen, but sense i have a 6 inch on my truck depending on the length they might work.

 

im pretty sure he got it for like 20, but im not a 100% on that so dont quote me lol!!

 

Where exactly are these places
I've been trying to find a place where we can really test out my buddie's AR-15s and .308

 

I live like 20 mins from there. In a little town called helper

 

Up dirt/snow covered roads! There are tons of places in the central Utah area, pick a spot away from the highway and with safe surroundings.

 

What exactly is the law for shooting in the wild?

 

Basically be smart and safe.....from the BLM:

Pack out your targets and trash

 

Sweet thanks man!

 

I usually go out to Stansbury island. There are some great places to do some target shooting out there. Let me know if you want to go sometime, I have fun collection of guns.

X1000. I wish everybody would do this. I usually take a couple five gallon buckets to pack out as much trash as I can.

Out past 5 mile pass is a good place to shoot.

 

Nice that looks fun. What caliber is that?

I just got a .17 HMR need to get out to sight it in.

How far is that area from SLC? I have been going out past 5 mile pass.

Is that a good place for long guns?

 

It's a 9mm. Those .17 HMRs are pretty awesome.

It takes about 1/2 hour - 45 minuets to get there from SLC. Once you get out there you will find a bunch out places to shoot. Most spots out there you could setup for 100 yard shooting into a berm. You may have to drive around and look for a spot, over the years it's gotten to be a more and more popular place for shooters.

 

Went to Trail Ridge Offroad today, made a decision to go with them for sliders and skids. Pretty stoked.....

 

Just pulled the trigger on mine from him the other day.

 

What did he quote you for the sliders? painted and installed...
