Or some thing.
My birthday present arrived last night.

Ain’t she a thing of beauty?
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the scope that will soon be installed on my Boomershoot project gun.
It is a Burris Black Diamond 8-32×50 and can be seen and spec’d here (factory link here).
I suggest, nay urge, you to start an account with the Midway USA company. They have this wonderful habit of sending you coupons via email for your birthday. This year was 10% off anything I wanted in their inventory.
Guess what I chose.
I will be dropping the new glassware off at the smith’s place on Friday and measuring for proper ring height. It won’t be much longer until I get to try out the different loads to see what my 700 likes to eat.
Stop by RNS over the weekend. I’ll remember to bring my camera this trip to the smith’s.
Now, if you have not yet done so, and would be so kind, please click on the Boomershoot logo in the upper right hand corner of the page and check out the site.
And I highly advise you to try and come along and participate. If I have even just half as much fun at the event as I have in putting this new rifle together, I’ll be quite happy.
You lucky dawg!That’s a nice little piece of hardware.
Happy Birthday,and enjoy the piece.
Happy Birthday, AK!
That’s a beautiful scope – it’ll look real nice on that 700, I’m thinking.
Are you planning on doing any sniping in the near future?
‘Sniping’ per se, Mr. Myers, no. More along the lines of ‘long range precision rifle shooting’.
You should really click on the Boomershoot link and check it out.
And thank you Mike and Doc. I am very hapy with it. Hopefully the finished product will turn out as well as I am hoping.
On the other hand, I am thinking of recycling a used piece of kitchen counter top for the surface of my custom shooting bench.
So I guess you could say I’ll be ‘counter-sniping’.
