    Where's the rain!

    Well, where we are the heat and my complexion( raw chicken) has forced me to be inside this afternoon. So I pulled some of my latest projects and took some pictures. Which everybody likes. Normally I do this stuff on rainy days.

    Cooey 60 factory drilled, top $75. I started with just the Weaver B4 scope I bought a few years back. Then came the B6 scope below. 3 years I searched for 3/4 weaver mounts in Canadaicon. I just paid $76 for the N2 mount, no screws. Had to have it.
    I sighted in for 30 yards with CCI subsonic shorts. Those subsonic rounds are a tonne of fun, nobody hears a damn thing. The high powered stuff is great, but 30 yards with that stuff is like shooting 400 yards. It drops off fast.
    The other 3/4 rings and mounts fell from the sky all with in days and cheap. Go figure!

    Cooey SURESHOT $60. I thought it only needed 2 dove tail sights. Turns out, I did not even notice it was missing the extractor. I always get caught up in the "cheap deal" and end up having to buy more parts to get it shooting or running. EPPS came through again. This is going to be my long range 75-100 yard go to. And yes that is Hank William Jr. playing in the back ground. Literally.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    I use CCI Quiet-22 or CB Shorts for the occasional *cough* that has to happen around my property, they are very soft sounding and effective.

    Those long barrels do make them work well though.

    Just picked up a box of CB shorts for the coming tree rat season in my backyard. First box I'd seen in years!!
    Setup in the back of the shop with the door open, turn the air compressor on and send it.

    You know “CB” is the abbreviation for Cat Bullet.

    I love cats…. though I don’t think I could eat a whole one.

    You're lucky, you could license and use an M1903 with a Maxim silencer for squirrels...so you don't wake the neighbors on a Sunday morning... Or perhaps a Delisle repro...
