I Should Have it Blessed by the Dalai Obama

My new scope is here. I am just about ready to try out the Savage .17 HMR. I’m pretty excited about it, since all my other rifles have little problems that make it hard to distinguish my bad shooting from error caused by mechanical booboos.

I went outside and aimed it at the construction guys across the street, to see what the optics were like. Needless to say, I did not bring the gun with it. Even I am not crazy enough to aim an empty rifle at neighboring yards.

I need rings, and apparently, I really, REALLY need something called Eezox. Someone in the comments recommended it, and Varmint Al says the company that made some of his barrels recommended using it before shooting for the first time.

I looked it up. It seems to be some kind of dry lubricant. I wonder if it would be better than Hornady One Shot, to keep powder flowing smoothly in a powder measure.

Guess I better head for Bass. I know of no other local place that will have the little items I need.
