Slogging through the Mud
Took the general to the range this morning. We've had a lot of rain around these parts lately. My son went to the 200 yard range and I stayed at the 50 yard range to shoot the Marlin 783 WMR with an old Redfield 3X7 (TV style) scope. Started off a bit high/right then adjusted the scope and went to far low. Finally got it dialed in. 100 rounds of cheap Armscor 40gr at 50 yards.

Re: Slogging through the Mud
Looks like that Marlin wore the center out alright! Love the back stop area too!
Re: Slogging through the Mud
Nice shooting Jake. Can you shoot steel there or is it only paper?

Re: Slogging through the Mud
Sounds like a fun time, despite the mud and water. Always like those old Marlin 780 series bolt guns. I had the 22 LR version in the Model 781 for a time. Nothing fancy, but it was a very good shooter and I did a lot of squirrel hunting with it.

That’s great shooting. That bad guy is down for the count.

Re: Slogging through the Mud
Very nice. Rainy/muddy days are good days for non-private ranges. They are often very private.
Good shooting. I'll bet it was relaxing.
