45Badger,
It was good meeting you and your son too, I hope the rifle works out. Your talks regarding the steel shoots have me intrigued, now its just the time needed to get from Forest Lake to Hutch and back that I have to figure out.

Shot the .22 today at Burnsville Pistol Range. It's a "one-holer" offhand at 30 feet :D

We got there early. It was crazy crowded with folks shooting friggin' magnums Left after 30 minutes because it was annoyingly loud. When does springtime arrive here?

SPRING??? Somewhere around June I would guess, maybe.

I went to the Bloomington show yesterday. Only live about 2 miles away and had planned on walking until I check the temp. This was my first gun show so didn't really know what to expect. First thought was, "could they fine a smaller room?" Way too packed to be very enjoyable. My second thought was " seems most things a bit over priced" again this was my first show, so maybe this is all normal and to be expected.

I'm surprised it was packed... Some things do change. ;)

Last Croc show I went to was about as full as a Mc D's large fry box.

I work nights on weekends and drive out there right after work. Take a nap in the car, shoot and drive back to work.

You can do it...I'm proof!

I bought a squirrel corn feeder and a rabbit pelt for the cat bed at the show. Didn't see anything else I wanted. Saw a bunch of HiPoints though.

There was that one table that had a ton of HiPoints. That's the 1st time I had ever seen one. My 1st thought was "what the hell is that thing".

Did anyone else see the PPS43 for sale behind the glass? It was quite a bit more than the $308 that posted about here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18345

Was that someone from here making a quick $100+? :lol:
