Pretty happy with how this turned out.
Thatās one of the better jobs Iāve seen.
Thanks man been practicing on some old gear.
Nice, clean borders and straight lines. Looks good brother.
Thanks took some trial and error before I found what works. Still doesnāt hold a candle to some of the work some do but Iāll take it over the original grip.

Did you use a soldering iron or woodburner? Did you play with any of the other tips?
I have a project gun Iāll get to eventually. I was going to use a bigger square tip and it gives a real aggressive stipple.

I used a weller wood burner. Taped the edges and used a flat tip against the tape for the borders and the thinnest tip for the rest. I messed around with some of the other tips that were more aggressive but just didnāt like the look of it.
This probably wonāt interest most of you, but where I live I canāt have a scary black rifle. A pistol on the other hand, is just fine. And a pistol that accepts a Sig Arm Brace is ok as well. A MSRP of $850 makes this thing very interesting to me as well. Thirty round mags are $18.
Things get good at 2:30 and then more gooder at 5:50.
I love this steel flip target! The guy I bought it from at the Richmond Gunshow said this model is good for .308 - .50 BMG. I donāt know about the .50 but my m14 makes it jump nicely. Also, when it flips, the target is always facing you head on.
The multi-colored paper stickers also exploded into colorful confetti, but I used up all the paper stick on targets that came with it. I can probably buy more, but Iāll probably just use brightly colored duct tape.

What!
Canāt have in MAā¦ Unless it weights less than 50oz, which I assume it doesnāt, but havenāt looked, because I def doesnāt have loaded chamber indicator or 10lbs trigger.
Talk me out of this optic guys:
(Will wait for a sale though. Not spending more than $250 on it.)

Bench shooting. 50-200 yards for now.
Only issue with a 10 power is my eyes. I have pretty shit vision for a relatively young dude, and it gets worse every year (a whole lot of fine focus needed at my job and my eyes wear out fast.)
Iāve seen that optic recommended a bunch of times, and am leaning on putting one on my 10/22 to be honest. The 10 power will be fine for me 100 yards and under, which is where I stay with the 22.
Edit: certainly going to miss that sale.
I just donāt think Iāll be able to group at 200 with a 10x magnification. I get that everyone says clarity > magnification, but if I canāt see, lol, I canāt see.

Your eyes are not bad; they are dry, like anyone who makes a living working indoors in front of a computer.
This becomes more apparent when you try to keep your eyes open. Eye drops, water, and fish oil. And more water.
I shot a lot with optics in Afghanistan/Iraq. My constant companion was Systane ā note I wrote āSystane.ā Not Visine or any of that thin crap. You want the oily, thick, stuff.

I just ordered the 6 power one for my M14, which I have been hunting with. Some might say thatās a little under powered for a .308 but I wonāt be shooting over 200 yards anyway.

The fuck is wrong with me lol? You can actually see a target at 200 yards with 6 power?
I mean, say it was a 12ā circle, it wouldnāt look like a tiny blob covered by the mildot to you?

Probably, but Bambiās dad is a little bit bigger than that. Plus I was banging that steel flip target at 100 yards open sights, and the circle is about 6". I figure 6x has got to be a step up from open sights.
