Anyone ever been to the Talladega Marksmanship Park? I went there a few weeks ago - what a blast. The battery on the AR red dot died, so I was shooting with backup flip up MBUS sights. I could get out to 300 yards, but couldn't put 3 in a row in the black at 300 to advance to 600.

I have a M1903 that was sporterized in the 50's, and has a Bausch and Lomb scope from then. Rang 'em at 600 with that. Was a PITA since 30-06 drops something like 40 inches at that range, and I was manually adjusting, rather than fiddling with the scope adjustments. OK - I hadn't shot that far with it before, and didn't know how to adjust it.

Shot the black powder revolver, and the Remington Rand 1911 from WWII, as well as the usual EDC.

What a blast out there.

Sounds like a very challenging and fun day.

I decided I needed a shotgun, especially with all the gun legislation going on in Colorado. I picked up a Mossberg 940 JM Pro. And by 'picked up' I mean ordered. they had to order the color and model I want, so it'll be 2 weeks before it arrives. Then I have to go in and fill out the background paperwork. Then I have to wait the 3 day 'cool down' period. Good thing the shop is only an hour away.

I want it for camp defense, clay shooting, and all around.

Touche, I guess.

I will still be annoyed that I have to drive up there three times.
That was a joke from The Simpsons when Homer bought a gun.


Yes...the waiting period makes no sense in most cases because the buyer probably already has multiple guns at home.

Looks like a nice gun. I have 3 mossbergs. 1st one is a cheap pump that is hunting capable, but mostly an under the bed gun. Next is a 30 year old 12 semi-auto, and tge last is a 3 inch shell 12 ga camo turkey gun.

I think I could have all 3 available and still be outgunned against your slick new one.
