shootin' in my backyard range
I wanted to shoot my 92 in 38/357 some this weekend before I took it apart to refinish the stock and forearm. I do love this little rifle. Tropican lid at 50 yards, iron sights, 54 year old eyes.
And my fancy-smancy shoot bench.

Re: shootin' in my backyard range
Yes that's a Savage bolt action. I'll get some pics of me with the Rossi posted.
The bench is a re-purposed school desk. A friend owns an office furniture business. This was an old display desk from his showroom. I replace the laminate top with a 2x6 top. The rest is a re-purposed office chair arm rest. It's adjustable up and down. I mounted wheels on the front bottom of the frame to make rolling it around the range MUCH easier.
I like practicing in style similar to the way I would shoot while hunting instead of sand bagging the rifle down.
Pics with 92, 20" round barrel (non-bolt action rifle) ha ha ha

Re: shootin' in my backyard range
RD, I'm taking the 92 and a Blackhawk pig hunting in Dec. We'll mostly be hunting with dogs, so the range will be less than 25 yards. Which firearm I actually use to shoot the pig will be determined by which one I take a deer with in Nov. I'll the one that I didn't take the deer with. Both guns need to be blooded, so. And, it will, also, depend the shot I'm presented at the moment.Ranch Dog wrote:Glad to see another fellow with a hog on the wall!
I'm really looking forward to this hunting season.
