GI: Who would like to go shooting at Bills/Burnsville Pistol one of these days?

IIRC, they have to be cased, unloaded, and separate from the ammunition.

 

good... no ammunition is going with me, just cased in the trunk under clothes. In fact I will have the bolts from the two rifles in the glove box to make for damn sure.

 

^ yeah I think you need to have the breech open as well, which wont be a problem if you have the bolts seperate.

 

I'd like to find somewhere that has a longer range also. I have a friend that is in that gun club up in elk river that has the 1000 yard range.

To bad membership is closed for the year. Next year I'll be on the board to get into that place. My father-in-law is a member also. Let me see what I can do for getting us there.

 

Hey Brian how about this Saturday?
I could bring two old and one new. Oh and I have one free lane pass.

 

I would love to get to something with at least 100 yards. I would definitely be down for mowing thru some .22LRs with my baby pistol! lol

 

might have to talk to Eli, Nick and Luke again... i might be game

 

I would like to get the new one out and aligned.

Robinsdale has maximum 25yrd ranges and 22 lanes.
Circle Pines has maximum 50yrd ranges and 16 lanes.
Not sure how many are full length. Have been to Robinsdale a few times and Circle Pines once.

Not sure what people want to do that way but I want/need to get out this Saturday and do this. I am up for either location.

 

Im down. i have ammo to shoot.

 

I'd prefer circle pines.

Either would be fun tho.

 

i don't really care all i have is pistols to shoot!...

 

Circle pines allow .30cal rifles?

 

I should be able to make it on saturday. I will see if I can find some mags for the 10-22.

 

Oh boy. Am I going to have to pull out the SKS again? Already took it to the range once. Crappy wolf ammo FTL, but I still have 480 rounds of it.

 

Bump, still looking good for going.

 

More info?

 

Robinsdale... time not sure but I am thinking as early as possible.

 

I'll be there. Time?

 

I'm thinking too early would be a bad thing with this sleet and ice crap.

 

Assuming the weather is crappy, i'm there. If not, I'm getting trained in on a 600 yd range

 

That is more like my ranges... what are you shooting?

 

Whatever the father-in-law brings. He has a small armies worth of guns. He wanted me to try to use my open sights sks, but after the 100 yd range, I don't think i'll be doing the 600 on that. :ugh:

 

Woot woot.

Ok, Lets get a list of guns going this time:

I'll be bringing the Yugo m59/66a1 (SKS) and a 9mm (I have no ammo for that, I need to stop at the store tonight).

I may bring extras depending if I stop at the father-in-law's or not.

 

SKS isn't worth much beyond 250yds anyway, that poor little round has all it's oomph robbed by the action.

I read somewhere that with the right ammo (197/198gr FMJ BT) my ole trusty 1938 K98k is good for 12" groups at 1000m. I just ordered an interesting scope mount and a Bushnell Elite 3200 Tactical 10x40 Mil-Dot to see exactly how true this may be. :yumyum:

This is ole trusty (dad snapped some pics of her for me the other day)

 

Well lets just say I am bringing 3 .45 calibers. Two are handguns and one is not.

See whomever at 9am.

 

Cool. I will be there. I will see if I can bring the 10/22. Going to be fun times. Where is the cheapest place to get ammo around the TC area? (there arnt any walmarts by me)

 

That they are but they are both 45cal I never said all three were 45acp just .45

 

Dang Martin. I just came from there to get ACP. Wish I knew you needed some stuff. Looks like Cabelas opens at 8. I could stop there and get you something or Walmart here in Buff if need be. I just might bring the 22 along too. Never sighted it in properly so this might be a good chance to do that.

 

Yeah, I still haven't got any 9mm ammo yet. I may make a early morning run to somewhere. Also to get some targets.

 

Well you guys/gals missed out. Turned out that only three of us showed up. We had a blast. 9 different guns in 5 different calibers. Pics and vids to come later.

 

Sorry I bailed. I just got cert'd for the 600 yrd range today. They only have classes so many times a year, so I had to go.

 

I double-checked my finances and found out that I'm gonna be hard-pressed to even buy CHEAP tires. This was one of the expendable things.

Well, Dunlops for next year??

 

Here are some of the pics I took.

 

Jen just bought her first firearm today.

Savage MkII BVTS .22LR
BSA "Sweet 22" 3-9x40
my trusty OIF Veteran Harris Bipod.

We are needing to break the barrel in, and find ammo it likes. Should be a tack driver from what I can tell

 

So when is the next range day?

I was looking around on the internets and found this picture... Pretty sweet IMO.

 

I found in in a picture thread on a forum. Care to guess what type of gun it is?

 

when is the next range gettogether? I need to break in two barrels, and dope in three scopes

Will I be able to shoot 30-30 winchester, and .223 remington?

 

^ you can shoot pretty much any round at bill's. They have restricted ones but I dont think any of the common ones (30-30 or .223) are on that list. Only negative is that the range is only like 25yds...
