Those rifles are as good looking as they are accurate.

A couple of great looking rigs ya got there. Stocks are a really nice addition.
The range looks great too, always nice to have your own place to shoot.

Glass is ordered, but I don't expect it to make it here for at least a week.

We were out and about yesterday. Today is my wife's 50th birthday and my son's 22nd. I'm planning on picking up some steaks for dinner.

If I have time this week i'll work on the range. I may have a way to get an extra 50yds or so out of it.

The view down the straight of the range.

The corner of the trees that interrupts the LOS.

If i remove the parts in red, i think i'll have gained as much as 50yds. I'm a little squidgy about distance as i've not checked with a range finder to confirm.

Whelp, two long, hard days of work, one with some help from a friend.

Max distance 238yds. I believe I can stretch it to 250 yds, but I'll have to wait until August when the ground dries up a bit. It is awfully squidgy back there in the tractor. That would put me about 250 yds from this shooting position.

Up next is finishing the 300-yard range. I've got much bigger trees to fell in that area.

That orange steel really shines in the trees. Fun!
