Maybe I should play the lottery tonight. How many times does USPS actually deliver a day earlier than specified, especially on a Saturday, when you thought that you would have to wait until Monday for delivery of your new gun?
She's a pretty little bugger, and the wood bits keep her from looking over-the-top tactical.
Of course the first thing I notice is that my pistol grip feels loose. I go to tighten up the bolt, but it is already tight. So I do a quick shimming with some cut pieces of bicycle inner tube. Still loose?!?!?
Turns out that the whole lower was just a bit loose. Tightened up the 2 screws shown below, and all is good.
Now I get to scope her up and try her out this weekend. Currently shooting my .30 cal Maverick to see if I can reproduce how well it shot yesterday (and winds are really calm today). Definitely feeling the coffee this morning - gotta work on stopping my heart from beating, on command.
After I test some slugs in the Mav, I'm on to setting up the new C2T!
EDIT: Well, I think that I'm going to like this gun a lot. Came to me shooting 25.39 RD's at an average of 907 fps with a tight ES. Put on the new scope, zeroed it and got chrono numbers on my 25 yard range. Then decided to shoot some 52 yard groups on my longer range, even though the winds had come up a bit. 2 shots to zero at the new distance, and then my first 5-shot group was nearly MOA (0.57" @ 52 yards).
And this is the very first time I've ever shot the gun! Couldn't hold together 'bullseye accuracy' for my next 4 groups, but all 20 shots would have put a world of hurt into a ground squirrel. Played a little more after shooting the 4 groups, and at the end found that I had been holding the gun a little too loosely. It likes (for me) to be held more firmly into my shoulder, and then I could pretty much hit whatever I wanted to.
Now hopefully I'll soon get the hang of loading the mags into the breech...
