Gun Nuts And Proud Of It!

This is how to spend your time during the long, cold days of a Maine winter: Shooting high powered guns!
Chris Scott and I went west over to Belgrade to a friends house compound and worked to site in Chris' Browning 270. The weather was rugged! Heavy snow and wind from the northwest at about 12-15 mph and in the low teens. Seriously, around zero or a bit below with the wind chill. No matter. We had a rifle to site in. Chris' 270 is virtually brand new and needed some rounds shot through it to break it in and get the scope set. It proved a bit difficult due to the fact that the rifle has a BOSS muzzle break on it that reduces recoil but makes it initially more difficult to get it sited in well (for the uninitiated, this means we were working to get the rifle shooting accurately with the scope, so where you aim it, the bullet hits. You shoot 1-3 rounds, check were they hit and make minute adjustments to the scope to bring the bullet up/down, left/ right. We finally got it pretty square, but will have to do some more work on it in the spring so it will shoot accurately qt 100 yards and beyond. Anyway, a good time spent in the Maine countryside!
