Walking around prisons all day is eating through my boots. A pair a year. :( Carolina ls. So I finally upgraded as my latest Carolinas were talking to me at the soles.

won the cheap gun shoot today. I used a Ruger American ranch 5.56 with vortex crossfire II 4-12x scope using Winchester white box 55 grain. This was 20 shots at 100 yards within 15 minutes.

For those that don’t know my friends and I started doing a cheap gun shoot about a year ago as a way to have fun without breaking the bank. Rules are as follows: rifle must be centerfire and can not cost more than $500. Scope (not including rings) can’t be more than $250. Ammunition used must be either Winchester white box, PMC bronze or PPU brass cased. You can use a rest but it can’t cost more than $50 bucks. One must have receipts to prove cost of items. One must fire 20 shots in 15 minutes and targets must be at 100 yards.

the point is to have a competition that is affordable and accessible to all shooters that also tests skill in a timed setting. This way the competition is not dominated by any individual that simply has a bigger wallet. The prize is simply bragging rights.

Now that sounds like a blast.
Question is what if someone got a really good deal on something? I had a gander mountain close by me and many some stuff was up to 60% off. I must have spent $5,000 in that month or two they were closing. I love the idea.

The items are price capped and the gun, rest and optic have to be store bought. So no buying a $5k rifle from a friend for a $1. Ammo is simply new factory ammo from the respective brands. It allows shooters who have low budgets to be able to take part and compete without being forced out simply by shooters with bigger budgets. It also is challenging because it forces one to be a better shoot with “cheap gear”. Kind of like competing in Glocks GSSF competition with stock Glocks. Keeps it fun and about the sport, and not about who can spend the most.

ya, good place to store your guns from children, I had one of these at my camp, bolted it to the wall. I wouldn't leave anything expensive in there.

I may store some reloading supplies in it. I’m not really sure what to do with it yet.

Watch the router. They make saw blades look like pre-school scissors.

Definitely. The guy who gave me the turning lesson the other day can't grasp anything with his left hand. Ran a router down his index finger and into the joint between that and his thumb.

But I also met a guy several years ago who ran his left hand through a table saw. Base of his pinky, across the palm of his hand to his thumb. Blade went deep enough to cut every bone in the back of his hand. Doctors saved it.

I got all of those used for ~50% of new.
