2022 Desert shoot.

Post by Rifletom » Sat Jan 08, 2022 5:51 pm

Finally made it out to the desert. What perfect weather; 74F, no wind at all and just the three of us. I only took three guns, my Pietta .45 Colt, Mod 94 30-30 and a CZ 452 Scout to zero a scope for my wife to shoot. For three guys, we brought the armory! my three, Mark's five and Chris' ten. Shooting, BS'ing, looking at all the guns. What a day. Have to say, I was most happy with my 30-30. At the 130 yard, 8" plate, it never missed. Stoked! Actually, we all shot pretty darn good. Chris is a way better S/A revolver shooter than I am. Who cares. Having a ball. Took a couple of pics, but, you know me.
Damn dinosaur. Doing it again in a couple weeks.

Sounds like a great time there Tom, Hey,
How about sending some of the 70+ degree weather this way bud.
I can post the pics if you want to text 'em to me.

Nice ...... not surprised at the performance of your 94 .... ours is old but handles well and is very accurate

Now we're talking! First pic is Mark shooting his Henry .22, second couple is Chris getting Marlin '94 in .41 mag ready[ dang accurate that .41 is!].
Our down range targets, if you can pick them out: 50 yards, 80 yards and 130 yards. We had a great time in the desert. Thanks a ton to Randy for posting these, I really appreciate the picture help I get here. This forum is the best!
