Die, Gas Pumper!

I guess I’m stupid, because I somehow had the idea that April 29th was tomorrow. In fact, it is TODAY, as many of you may already be aware.

What does this mean? It means MY NEW AR10 IS AT THE GUN SHOP. I checked the tracking site to make sure the gun would be in the shop tomorrow, and it’s already there!

Do you KNOW what this MEANS?

SECOND RANGE DAY IN ONE WEEK!

Small problem: I have no scope for it. But I can steal the scope from my Savage. I think 14x will suffice for 100 yards [sarcasm alert]. Or I could take the scope off my K31. It needs to be redone anyway. I think it’s a 9x, but I forget.

This is spectacular. I’m more excited about this gun than I have been about any gun I’ve bought in a long time. I wasn’t all that eager to get it. I felt like something was pushing me, and that’s the reason I bought it. Nonetheless, now I can’t wait to shoot it.

In my collection, this will be the closest thing to a serious high-end rifle. I guess the K31 would count if it were new, since it was made to extraordinarily high standards. But it’s old, and I paid something like $200 for it. The Savage is super-accurate, but it was really cheap, and it’s not fancy. Besides, how worked up can you get about a sub-MOA rifle in the same caliber as a BB?

Today I read that some people kill coyotes with .17 HMR. That surprised me. It’s such a tiny cartridge.

I’m going to change my sheets so I can sleep next to the new gun. Hopefully I’ll dream of Navin Johnson, trying to elude me in a car with no tires.

Oops. Was that racist?
