2017 Trip #7
11 – 12 July to Wyoming, Me, Myself, and I
Hardly a real trip. Took my new 6 BR to my gunsmith in Lusk, Wyoming to get finished up. So he bedded it into the Boyde stock to get everything set-up better.
While there he showed me how to get my AR shooting better by installing an Accu-wedge. It’s a small rubber wedge that fits under the back take-down pin. So It gives a tighter fit between the upper and the lower. I’m setting up at the gun show here in Denver this weekend. As a result I will be looking for one or maybe two.
The bedding worked, all three of my loads shoot around a half too three fourth of an inch or better. If I did my part. Wednesday morning he got it all cleaned up and I headed home.
On my way I stopped at a ranch near Douglas, Wyoming too shot a few dogs. I shot 50 rounds, had two doubles, and killed 43 dogs. The first 3 or 4 I held to much into the wind and missed on the wind side. I tried hitting prairie dogs in the head at 300 yards. Because they were looking over the edge of the hole in the wind I didn’t do well. Now to get out for a three or four day trip and give it a good work-out.
Weather started coming in. I only shot for an hour and a half. The ranchers LONG HORNS did came over for a look and lost interest after a few minuets.
