I don't gamble. Sorry. Even if I did, the setup to be used is too non-specific and where did the requirement of coming in cold come from?

But you are welcome to come to the range with me as my guest any day. I go to Range82. I may even be ther This Saturday.

It's negotiable. However, you can't shoot several groups and then say here's one. I'm also open to a wager that does not involve money. Besides, it's not gambling; it's skill right? I prefer wagering to arguing.

Thanks for the invite, but my weekends are usually booked so long as the weather is fair. If you can make it on a weekday, I'd love to join you. I've not shot at range 82 since 2010 during a Sig Sauer pistol class held there. I've a really old Anschutz sporter rifle in .22 Mag I'd like to shoot again. I've neglected it for too long.

Maybe we can linkup at the new indoor range after the weather turns ugly.

LOL! Glen, you're killin' me. That golf ball thing was very funny, btw. I got lucky. The question is, is it better to be lucky or good? :whistle:

Seriously though, not an argument. An argument would mean we are discussing fact, and one beleives they are correct, thus debating what is fact. We are just debating a difference of opinion. Opinions can not be right or wrong, only different. Hence, no argument.

The rules of the range are the rules of the range. Either you live by them or don't shoot there. That is a fact. LOL

Charlie... we can hit the range some time soon for sure. Looking forward to hanging out.

Cavalier Rifle and Pistol at Vontay, Virginia has a 500 yard range. They also have a 100 yard range
Find the web site and they have an aerial pic of the place.

Hey I shot this target at Range82 100 yrd range

Image

Oh and I was using a 1943 Winchester M1 Garand, with WWII Iron sites and Walmart Core-lokt 30-06 150gr.. :first:

Sure it would not qualify for the 1 Min MOA but with a scope I am sure it would do it.

No need for a scope, 'cause that is most certainly close enough for gubbermint work!

So, I can't congratulate you? hahaha

Definitely good on the meet-up. We are going to make an afternoon at Elite with a few guys from work. Just trying to nail down a time window.

Any updates on places to shoot? I live in Springfield, Va. As long as we draw a tag I'll be going on an elk hunt in Oct 2017 and need to practice 200-400yds. Shooting a Ruger M77 7mm mag with Vortex 4-12x40 scope.
