So after all the craziness of Thanksgiving, between helping Mom G. prepare for the annual glutton-fest and playing referee to my kids all day long, today's Jay time. I'm heading up to an undisclosed location in Maine to meet up with Wally, SCI-FI, and Weerdbeard for a day of Class III goodness (IIRC, Wally has at least one gun that hits the NFA trifecta, a full-auto suppressed SBR).
If time and the range permits, I'm finally going to test my Savage Model 10, first sighting in the 6.5-20X Barska Varmint scope and then testing my shooting at 100, 200, and maybe 400 yards. This will be the first time I've ever shot at a distance greater than 100 yards, so I am certainly in for a new and exciting experience. I've got a spotting scope that I picked up earlier this year that I intend to break in as well, so there will be a wealth of reviews after this weekend.
There's a Cabelas and a Famous Dave's BBQ close to the range, I'm told, so it's going to be a pretty decent antidote to the Black Friday insanity. Shoot machine guns and long-distance rifle, hit a BBQ joint and then Cabelas, then back for more shootie goodness and maybe even a little IDPA style shooting. Much-needed recoil therapy for the start of the holiday season, and with the way December is shaping up, this may be the last time I get to the range in a while...
I might even have some pictures later today if I can remember to take some...
That is all.

Oh, I don't know, you can probably get a full fill of Black Friday craziness at Cabela's...
Jealous. Full auto, suppressed, SBR. Only way it could be better is to be larger than a .50 and get the DD into the mix but... I can't imagine any larger than .50 cal I'd even contemplate with a shorter than 16" tube off of a paper drawing. Or in a John Woo movie...
Dude, you were right in my neck of the woods!
Bought a Stoeger Coach Gun, 12 gauge in nickel and black, at that Cabela's for a great price off their used guns rack many years ago while on vacation with friends. BBQ and shooting, friends and laughs; good times!
