You know what? Those little dials on the scope that move the point of impact left and right or up and down…not really dials. Those are caps over the dials. Yeah, I didn’t know that. Derrrr.
So anyway, I knew I’d need stabilization, which I didn’t have. I went to a store and bought these nifty bags. Then I decided I needed a carabiner clip to hook them together to toss them in my range bag, but all my clips were being used on key chains and such. I had to buy another one, so I might as well just get one with the letter “A”, right?? :p
I got my stuff all set up.
I took out some paper plates and put those little “Shoot n’ See” stickers on them. I love those little suckers! I’m getting some of the hot pink ones next time!
I stapled the plates to the target stand and loaded the magazine for the Savage plus the extra one I bought yesterday. I was using Federal Champion High Velocity.
When everything was ready to go, I started with aiming for the far left dot on the far left plate to start. The spousal unit measured off that it was 100ft to the stand.
I got busy getting busy.
A click to the left, a click to the left, a click to the left...
After I was bored with plugging paper I shot at some of the bits of broken clays on the berm. That was fun! There were chunks big enough to hit and make a little orange kersplat out of.
Here’s the paper plate for doing the deed.

I'm calling the cops. That pen was stolen. I can't tell from who but it most definitely says it was stolen. tsk tsk.
You're not alone on taking a while to figure that the dials on the scope aren't actually dials. Not that I speak from experience or anything.
Now you get to spend money and try a dozen or so different brands of ammo, and see if you can find which one the rifle shoots best with.
Ah, anon took the words right out of my mouth. It will be never ending...
Dan & Anon,
I'm kind of securing a stash already. I've got Winchester Wildcats, those Federal Champions, Thunderbolts, Spitfires, and a little bit of Wolf Match. That should hold me for a day or two...right? :p
Scott,
According to what's on the opposite side, you better call the cops if you see that pen in anybody ELSE'S pics! LOL!
Just going with the evidence I've got on hand. I believe that is called a "rush to judgment". Or then again, maybe we should just call out the boys in blue just to be safe. You know, you are a gun owner and those people can't be trusted. Especially rimfire owners.
ha ha.
Jeepers! You're calling the cops on me??
Houston, we have a problem!!
You can never be to careful when it comes to stolen pens. We've invaded countries for less. ;-)
