Anybody get anything cool that is gun-related today?

I’ve never owned a large caliber bolt action rifle. Other than an entry .22LR I’ve never owned a bolt action at all.

Decided to change that and picked up a Mossberg Patriot in walnut with a Vortex 3-9 at Academy.

Which "large caliber" did you go with?

I got it in .30-06 SPR.
Not the largest available but considerably larger than the .22LRs I’ve had.

something about touching off a trigger on a center fire gun that is kind of addicting. enjoy and have fun!

Found an original aluminum buttplate for a 10/22.

I stripped the paint and buffed it. Now it matches the rest of my SS 10/22.

Yours fits way better than mine did. I searched one out, did the same thing and it was WAY off from fitting.

Its a bummer too, I love the grain on this one. Maybe I should try again?

Yes, it's just barely a bit narrower right at the top, but not enough to matter.
I had thought about trying to scuff the plastic one and then use aluminum spray paint, but i didn't think that would last long term.

Now to find some SS screws for it.

Finally got around to scoping the new Ruger tonight. Vortex rings, Leupold 3X9 scope and Harris bipod. Finished off with my can. Shot some subsonic rounds through it and it is literally quieter than my air rifle.

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago from a friend. True glow sights, CT light and three 19 round magazines. It’s my first Springfield XDM.
