So I "worked from home" today and ended up at the range for lunch. Huh. Imagine that. I just got my new 527 zeroed in and then the scope started to twist in the rings. But I did manage to finally try my K31 that I set up with a diopter and that was a lot of fun to shoot, as always.

K31 with Swiss Products diopter sight system.

First 100 metre target with diopter - 5 shots

100 metre target with diopter - 10 shots. I can't seem to get the shot down without adjusting holdover low.

I popped back into Tiger Arms the other day and took a few pics of their Korth .357s. The black and blue model are each $9,900 and the gold one is $10,100. They let me hold the blue one, but I had to take off my ring and wear the white gloves. I was not allowed to work the action or the cylinder at all - just hold it. I love their proprietary blue model - just not the price.

Tiger arms has really impressed me. When I was looking for 9mm Makarov ammo they sold it too me $10.00 per box even though every store I found that had some in stock was selling it 4x as much. Westcoasthunting sold me the same caliber at $40.00 per box because I didnt know about Tigerarms at the time. Alot of the store I emailed or called didn't even get back to me.

I brought my Keltec Sub2000 in there to get a sling, they took the time and mounted it for me to try out before I bought it too make sure I liked it.

I haven't bought a firearm from them yet, but their pricing seems competitive and I like their customer service so far.

not too far from me will have to check them out , I guess it helps with the range on Burke being up the hill from them to set up in Poco .

I'll take an S[HTML_REMOVED]W after I've worked the triggers every time but they are pretty.

The raw, primitive, unrefined trails that see little to no maintenance are the kinds of trails that really build skill. What kind of skills do you learn riding a trail that was made by a machine, groomed to perfection and void of any rocks, roots or other obstacles that could send you careening over the handlebars?

first time shooting past 200m. stretched it out to 400m, a little tricky with the ~10km/h gusts. i think i need to get my hands on a chronograph, to lazy to measure bullet drop.

I have a Chronyt I have used three times, I'm thinking of selling it. I don;t care how fast it's going, just how well it shoots - and the groupings will tell you that info.

i could put up a target at 200m and one at 400m then let off 5 rounds each to measure the average bullet drop then calculate the drop for other distances. but i would want a more stable rest then a full jug of windshield washer fluid and no head or tail wind.

Been looking at various binos for a while, was wanting to try something with a little more power than my 8x32 Bosch [HTML_REMOVED] Lombs. Prices vary from dirt cheap to deciding which child I don't want to go to university.

Anyways, Cabelas sent me an email and they are selling their 10x42 Vortex Diamondback binos for $219 with free shipping over $99. So, I popped into Wholesale Sports as I was in Langley and tried them, they seemed clear enough and easy to focus - but they wanted $359 for theirs. Got home, told my wife that she is just about to buy me my birthday present - the Vortex are in the mail.

Also, doesn't Cabelas have a really good return policy? I.E. you could order the whole catelog and send the ones you don't like back.

P.S. Did the hate thread finally implode?
