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.
