Spent a couple of hours this morning at the Maryland Small Arms Range,
sighting in my new .308 rifle, "assault rifle" as Gregster would call
it, with a new 1x8x24 scope.
The range has a 50-yard indoor range, which was good enough for what I
wanted to do. Put in cushy earplugs AND earmuff protectors...these
indoor ranges are REALLY loud and so is my .308.
Anyway, at 25 yards I was shooting two inches to the right and an inch
and a half down, so the initial sighting in I did at home was pretty
close. Made a couple of small adjustments and moved on out to 50 yards.
Right on the money. Using a one piece scope mount on a flat top rifle
makes sighting in pretty simple. The rounds shoot damned flat out to
more than 100 rounds, so after a five round test, I decided it was good
enough until I can get out to a 100 yard plus range.
Very crowded even though I got there when the range first opened. Lots
of very young and very attractive black young ladies shooting their own
rifles and handguns and rental handguns, too. Told a few of them how
pretty they were, of course. They smiled and so did their boyfriends. 
Always pays to be nice to the ladies at the firing range.
It is not what I call it, that is what your buddy Feinstein calls it.
I'm not aware that Senator Feinstein has "ruled" that telling a woman
she is pretty is verboten. I wasn't engaged in Trump behavior or catcalling.

I was talking about your "military machine of death" as Diane would
describe it. (the only time you addressed me directly)
