LRP12-6.5cm & 110ba-338lm introduction

[Tenacidy]

Greetings from The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia! I stumbled across this site and I'm thrilled to find a dedicated Savage forum. I shoot 200-1000 yard matches with my LRP for about a year now and love it, I added a Vortex Razor gen 1 scope and a XLR Element chassis. My 338 I mainly shoot out in the desert, out there I've been working on hitting a mile (seriously need more practice lol).
I'm a General Contractor in the building trades, a father of five and a grandfather of four. My wife just built her own AR and my 5 kids are all proficient/safe shooters as well.
I'm glad to be a part of this site and I am looking forward to reading your posts.
Cheers!

Welcome to the site

Welcome, where do you shoot?

Welcome, where do you shoot?

Thanks for the welcome, I shoot the 1K matches at Sac valley shooting center with NCPPRC. I also shoot out on BLM land near Black Rock Nevada, my other hobby is high power rocketry where I built rockets and launch on the playa there, my personal record is 23,626 feet high at 1507mph. It's a really fun outing to launch rockets and do a bunch of shooting!

I shoot with them too, maybe I'll see you tomorrow at the match. I've been shooting with them for a little over a year.

Hi Craig, Yes I know who you are, Darryl Paris here. I'll be at the match tomorrow too- I'm looking forward to it although it's going to be a bit tricky for me. Three weeks ago I was carrying a big demo jackhammer with many bits in a case tight against my chest through a doorway, about 125lbs worth and my feet washed out from under and I fell backwards WWF style across the threshold blowing out the L3-4 disc in my back impacting the Sciatic nerve loosing all function of my left leg. I've gained most function back in my leg, thank god, but I have to be careful carrying my rifle as I'm slightly unsteady off roading. I devised a way to support my rifle from my hip when walking the 1000yds to save my back! Looking forward to seeing you and good luck!

Hey hotolds442, I used to have a 69 Olds 442 man that sucker was a beast! I could roast the tires forever!

The 455 Rocket is appropriately named.....

Welcome and sorry about your State of residence at least you can go shoot out in the desert:smile-new:

If were shooting the same relay I'll be happy to help carry gear if it will make it easier.

I wonder if you could shoot one of your rockets out of the sky with the 338lm? 1500mph would be a tough target though. Lol!

I would not want to shoot my 338 straight up lol
