So is anyone else working on their LTR in preparation for the big Appleseed weekend?
My son and I are both signed up for the Pelham NH shoot.
For my son, I purchased a Mossberg 702 Plinkster youth model. I added sling swivels, M1 sling in the mail from RWVA store. Still need to get him a couple more magazines.
This is his first rifle (he is 11) and his first time really doing any kind of marksmanship practice so I didn't want to get too crazy with his equipment.
I will be using my 10/22.
I have a homemade pistol grip, quasi-tacticool stock that I will be using for the shoot.
I just received a midway and Techsights orders last night and installed an Auto bolt release, bolt buffer, Techsight TSR-100, and to keep with the tacticool I got a muzzlebrake and recoil pad. Again the M1 sling is in the mail from RWVA.
Not sure how I feel about the "recoil pad" I think the main goal of the thing is to add to the LOP, but my arms aren't that long so I may ditch that.
The muzzlebrake I had to buy just because I think the tall front sight that techsights use looks really goofy!
Techsights seem pretty good. I completely destroyed my original front sight getting it out of the dovetail, what a PITA. I've never used an aperture sight before so I am hoping the instructors will be able to give me some good pointers on this. My eyesight is pretty bad and I wear glasses so this may be a challenge for me...
I hope to stick with my 25 round butler creek mags, even though I keep hearing they get in the way when shooting prone. I have tried getting in the prone position a few times with my mags and I haven't had a problem. Maybe I am not doing it right, but I cannot afford new magazines on top of all the other parts I just bought...
I am hoping to post pics later...
Comments? Suggestions? Experiences?
