FIRST SHOT WITH MY NEW SQUIRREL GUN :D
« on: February 23, 2010, 06:00:35 PM »
Here is my fisrt shot with my new .50 BMG rifle!!!

The gun is made by East Ridge / State Arms Gun Co. it is the "Rebel" model.

 and btw, I love the trigger, there is no slack in it when you pull it. It fires right away. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the fact this gun does not have a safty, but other than that, I LOVE IT!!!

That looked fun, southern fun.  :lol

That's a high angle opposum........  Did you deliberately set the target like that for the camera? 

The rifle is SWEET btw!  Good looking piece.

We spent like 400 dollars on 80 rounds of regular ball ammo  :cry :cry


it looks like I am shooting high because the camera is setting down the hill we were on, we never moved the target  :)

Learn to start reloading your own, you can beat five bucks a round easily. As an added bonus you can tweak the powder charge to the gun for added accuracy. If you really want to get super-accurate you can do many other time consuming things. I always loved to reload as it gave me time more bang for my buck so to speak. Not only did I get to reload it, a relaxing task for me, I got to shoot it in the end.

A better question, what are you doing shooting at 200 yards! Multiply that by 3 or 5 and your getting somewhere.

 :D :cool:

Who cares?

Rule number one (in my book) don't point the gun at anything you can't replace.

He did not do a thing wrong in my book, camera can be replaced....

Oakranger, I would venture guess closer to 3,500-4,500...and yes they are heavy!
