Then settled in to see how it would group with a few different loads.

So rounds of choice are PowerPoint 40gn HP, and CCI subsonic HP.

FIREARMS & OPTICS / Mossberg 46B .22lr

Last post by branxhunter - January 14, 2024, 05:00:40 PM

A good mate of mine recently brought home his dad's old Mossberg 46B 22lr.

He ordered a Havlin side mount from Brownells:

Then removed the open sights, bought some Leupold rings and a Vortex Crossfire scope, and turned up this morning to zero it in.

The Loopy rings had the scope sitting way up in the air, so I offered him some very low old school Weaver mounts.

I didn't write/create this, but I think it might be the most important statement I've ever heard, as it pertains to science (especially Climate Change):

It's better to have questions that cannot be answered, than answers that cannot be questioned

-- Dr. Willie Soon, Astrophysicist and Geoscientist.

Yes summer is here and is warming up, but here in south western Victoria ( SE end of Australia) we have been getting the odd shower of rain and there is still some green pick around for the stock. The stone fruit are ripening - apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums - and the orchard is looking magnificent!
