Getting ready for the weekend.

Weather is clearing and nice comfortable for prone shooting off a bipod. Getting ready for a Veteran's Day/USMC birthday shoot this weekend. I am thinking of using a Bula Defense Systems M14 with a Bula ultra heavy barrel , most parts are Winchester USGI in a Mac stock. Accu-Trac bipod and a Leupold MK 4 fixed 16x scope mounted on a Basset picatiny rail. Practice will be at 100 and 200 today with the shoot at 300 and 500. Loving every minute of it. So much fun grabbing a rifle and then deciding which scope and other components are needed for a particular purpose. Whatta Hobby!

What?! Bipod you say, that needs a NM leather sling for prone. Nice rig, enjoy your match

Thought it might be fun to post something a little out of the normal here. Whatta Hobby!

I wish. No more using slings for this guy. Have to use the bipod. My left arm is pretty much useless for shooting since an accident at work years ago. Still thanks to a little support from my old friend Art Luppino, I got back into supported shooting and enjoying things. Whatta Hobby!

Did not care for the results of shooting practice yesterday. No problem getting all Xs on the 8" Dirty bird, but this rifle can do much better. Popped a Leupold VXIII 6.5-20 with target dot reticle using an IDF single point mount this morning. Always liked this old scope especially with the IDF mount, super stable on the M14. I think I have half a dozen of the 6.5-20s that I used on precision rifles 30 years ago. Whatta Hobby!
