Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

And so it begins, super busy time here at the range. We are right at three weeks from modern gun opener for deer. I offer sight in services at 25 bucks per gun. My shoulder is doing well post surgery and I can shoot with the other side so no problem, but I am not going to do any thumpers, the shock will transfer to other shoulder and that is not good. I am a live and let live kinda guy but why some guys need 300 win mag for our 100 pound deer escapes me? Most of our guys here have not touched their deer rifles since last year about this time. Again a practice that eludes my understanding. By same token most folks do not live on a rifle range so that’s fair. The worst ones are the guy that walks in and says I just mounted this scope can you dial it in? Never a good sign. Kind of like a guy wanting you to tune his carb and starts with “ it should only take you a minute” . Or the guy that drops an ancient chainsaw Magnesium part on my bench and wants me to weld it up. Then complains about the bill because it only took me ten minutes. I usually explain it took me twenty years to learn how to weld your gas and oil impregnated magnesium part with my five thousand dollar TIG machine In ten minutes.
Sorry pet peeve rant! Wrong thread! Anyway the fresh mounted scopes are always interesting, from hardware bolts to JB weld and all manner of card board shim stock, and square and level with the rifle? Hah! Anyway I got a 223, a 22 and three 308s to do already this mornin. Most of the rifles will start dribbling in this afternoon and tomorrow I will be swamped. I love this time of year! Be safe guys!
The whole concept of having someone "sight in" my personal rifle escapes me. That's one of the cornerstones of the sport. I suppose it is different for other people. I have access to a free shooting ranges if I want to drive a little bit and be patient if someone else is there. I'm not trying to be judgmental. Its more like, stop and smell the roses!!!
