Rimfire Caliber Trajectory

I found this graph very interesting. My buddy had just got a 10/22 and wondered what yds to zero the scope at. I told him the standard for .22 is 50 yds. After looking at this graph I was right on. This graph makes me want to get a .17hmr!

First time shooting the SKS

Took the SKS out tonight. What a blast to shoot! Forgot how much I like these guns. Iron sights at 50 yds. At first I was high, then low. Once I finally figured out the sights, I got some really good groups. The last 5-6 shots are grouped nicely. Overall I really pleased. Next time Ill try my luck at 100yds. Really want to get the tech-sight ts200 rear sight. I hear great things. http://www.tech-sights.com/

Latest Addition to the Family

 
Of guns that is! Yugoslavian SKS m59/66. I am just learning to read the markings on these rifles so I will haft to see what year is was manufactured. Got a greal deal of ksl.com. $300 for the gun and 500 rounds of wolf 7.62x39.  I had one of these a for about 4 years but recently sold it when I was unemployed. Regreted it ever since. That was one a Norinco SKS(Chinese) in a Monte Carlo stock with scope mount. One of the first guns I ever bought. This one came in a side folder stock, but luckily the owner had the orginal wood. Not in the best shape and missing the buttplate, cleaning kit, and screws. My plans for this rifle are either to restore it or sporterize it in a Tapco t6 stock, 20 rounds mags, etc. Right now I leaning toward restoring it but the stock is not the prettiest SKS stock I've seen. I may replace it with another yugo stock if I can find one.

First Post and Purpose Behind This

I have alot of hobbies. From video games, shooting and collecting firearms, sports, movies, books,etc. This blog will be dedicated to my thoughts on these subjects.  My wife has established a family blog so I figured why not. We'll see if I actually stay dedicated to this or not. Social networking has become a way of life. From Facebook, Blogger, Twitter,etc. I am not a part of all of these. They all serve their pretty much meaningless purpose I suppose. It is nice to see what people are up to. When you get married your life revolves around your family and you lose track of friends. These services help you keep up on old friends and find new ones based on similar interests.
