MNSubaru Winter Shooting Event - January 21st, 2012 @ 9AM

I'm going to try and make it. Have a rifle that hasn't been shoot yet should sight that in. also 38 special rev. 40 baby desert eagle 40. 357 mag rev. might take out the 45 long colt. none have been shoot for awhile now. has the date and time changed at all?

 

Just picked up a Beretta neos to try out. I will also have a snubbed nosed 38 and 1911.

 

Supply your own ammo and I've got no problem with that

 

I have a neos as well... great, cheap fun is what I call it... The sights are not to bad and with a little time you can dial it in pretty nicely. I also picked up a red dot for it... with it dialed in its pretty much a tack driver.... enjoy

 

What are we looking at for range fees? I just skimmed the thread and didn't see it mentioned.

 

Are you guys having any issues with yours? I just picked up mine over the weekend and after yesterday the rail where the rear sight is sitting is gapping after a few rounds. Beretta wants me to send it in.

 

anyone going to be bringing a .308 rifle (FAL, M1A, G3, AR-10, etc.)?

 

I have not had a chance to shoot mine yet. I did find this video. Not sure if this is the same issue you're having.

 

None for me, I picked mine up used and have since put through close to 1500 rounds with no issues other themselves few ftf's...
If you don't send it back right away bring it to bills and I can take look with you and see if we can find something off comparing the 2

 

Sorry to jack the thread, I've seen that video and have since been in contact with Beretta Customer Service and they want me to send it in. At first he told me the barrel locking nut wasn't tighten, but I told him I couldn't even loosen it for a tear down inspection and it was so tight I couldn't even tighten it anymore. I think the rail might be slightly bent from the manufacture. I'll pm you guys a picture to those interested to void jacking this thread any further. Thanks all!

 

If i make it I'll be bringing the 243 rem. rifle

 

I just checked and there's an event Bills Robbinsdale is hosting on the same day starting at 8am. Girls with Guns Gala. Hope that won't cause any additional delays.

 

I had one of the those Beretta Neos with a red dot sight on the top rail. Awesome fun little set up. I kind of miss it. I had er dialed in around 8 yards. Fun fun fun. I do hope to make it to this event. Sounds like a good time.

Last time I was at Bills, it was $20 for the range rental. $15 for an additional person. I few bucks for ear protection and glasses rental.

 

GM, my original obligations fell thru so my wife and I should be able to come out next weekend to Bills with the crew. I'll be bringing my Mossberg 500 to run some new reload drills, my M&P 9mm Pro, paper targets and a whole lot of ammo.

 

Can everyone post what they are bringing so I can see if there's anything I want to try that I don't have ammo for?

I'll have:
1. Smith&Wesson M&P 9mm
2. GSG 1911 .22lr
3. DPMS AR-15 .223
4. Remington 870 12ga

 

Sounds like we'll be bringing-
1. S&W J-frame revolver(small) .357/38special w/Crimson Trace laser (I'll bring some extra .357 if peoples hands are up for shooting it)
2. S&W N-frame(big) 44 magnum(I'll bring a few boxes if people wanna avoid buying an entire box$$$ we can do a trade of sorts )
3. SA "Range Officer" 1911- 45 ACP
4. SA XD-subcompact/XDm fullsize (both in 40S&W) If anyone wants to shoot the SC or fullsize in particular lemme know otherwise I may just bring one or the other.

***could bring/maybe list***
Remington 597 vtr .22lr
DPMS classic 20" A2 AR-15 5.56/.223
Mossberg 500 12ga
Ruger lcp .380

 

if i show, FNP9, 9mm luger

 

Badbennyb - I'm interested in trying a few rounds on your S&W N-frame(big) 44 magnum if you won't mind. I'd be happy to trade you a few rounds on my M&P 9mm Pro if you're interested pal.

 

I'll be bringing

Beretta Neos (red dot will be coming with but it's been off the gun so its not dialed in anymore)
Kimber Custom II 45acp
870 (maybe)

 

Beretta Neos
Colt 1911 .45 acp
S&W snubbed nosed 38
and maybe a .45 revolver

anyone planning on meeting before and driving up together? I live near Home Depot on 694 and Boone.

 

Can't make it this year, but for good reason. I'm taking a Conceal and Carry training class.

There are opens spots if anyone else wants in.


Location- Buffalo, with range qualification in Monticello
Cost is $75, plus range fee’s of around $15.
Firearms and ammunition provided if you don’t have equipment.

 

^^^Good reason indeed, enjoy the class!

You got it! These days everyones about tactical this and that but there's something awesome about shooting a great big heavy revolver. I've also got some 44 special "light" loads for anyone wanting to try the big gun without the big BOOM.

Not me, I'm already up here in Blaine.

 

springfield xd .40 "tactical"
sig sauer mosquito .22

Carl, i wanna try the M&P...

can we bring our own paper targets or do we need to buy them there?

 

I've always wanted to know what Dirty Harry felt like!



I'll bring my GoPro w/head strap so we can capture some footage.

 

Come on out so we can have a Confession session together. I've got some extra 12G ammo w/your name on it

 

You can bring your own, but it can't be home made with MNSubaru smiley faces.

 

sad to say but im out.....

 

Is 9am right? website says they open at 10am

 

Can't make it this time. I have an opportunity to work on my other project that day and I can't pass that up.

 

Instructor really wants to know if anyone else wants in - let me know.

 

Is this just regular range fees and what not? Or do we have some group deal?

 

Just regular old range fees. I'm not sure what group rates are offered or if it's ever been looked into.

 

Looks like range tokens might be the only deal.

How will find each other outside the parking lot?

 

I'll wear a subaru hat or shirt. I think most of us know each other so just look for a group (hopefully not many other people there right at opening)

 

i might wear 2

 

I'll go flatten a hat right now. Think I may bring the mossberg too but I'm not sure how much crap I feel like hauling around.
