Hello there. Bought myself a Mossberg 702 yesterday; and seriously looking forward to shooting it either tomorrow or Sunday afternoon (going to the range to sight my scope in). I am having a problem trying to locate any kind of shooter's logs for rimfire rifles.... I thought about making up my own on excel; but have no idea where to start... Does anyone on here happen to have anything like this that they'd be willing to share?? What kind of information should I include in this.... I do know ammo type (brand/model) / grain and basic "weather details" (wind, temp, etc.) anything else that I should add?? Like I said; other than typing on forums and such; I am pretty iliterate when it comes to programs like excel and office. If anyone can help me with this; I would greatly appreciate it

Optics used if you plan of changing it from time to time. Of course rounds fired, maybe magazines used if you have a lot of them. That's about all I can think of.

I just got my scope mounted on my rifle, and getting ready to head to C2 range soon. I created my own book. But it 's on my work computer won't have access to it till Monday. I'll post it then.

What information you keep depends on what you intend to use it for. I don't keep any logs for my rimfires as I don't have a use for them. I keep very little to no logs for the tactical carbines (mostly to estimate rounds fired for maintenance). I do keep nice logs for the long range tactical rifles because I want to keep track of how it actually shot, etc. I only buy logs for the long range guns.

Wups - thought this was using the wood pile for a backstop...

Wrong thread. :shrug:

Sorry, I forgot about this thread. The log book i created is from the USMC log book. It's too large (4 MB) to post here, but anyone that would like to take a look, just send me a PM and give me an email to send it to.
