Shooting trip, first time taking the Jeep off the paved highway

blackhawk411 · Jan 16, 2008

So im fairly new here, I mostly do alot of lurking. Great information on this board. Planning on going red soon

atriot:

We went to this spot that one of the customers told us about (I sell guns at Turner's Outdoorsman lol) and it was really awesome. Got to shoot at free targets, it was great. Also first time taking the Jeep on dirt road, it did okay but alot of rattling and clunking. Seems to be old bushings and such. Never had to put the thing in 4Lo or 4Hi. My friend hauled in his lifted 2wheel drive F350 as I tried to keep up with him the Jeep was being thrown around so I had to slow down lol. Anyway, I was quite satisfied with the performance of the Jeep because it had zero trouble on the country trail. Here are some of the pics. It was pretty cool, deputies came up there checked out our guns told us to be careful. I'm glad I found a spot to shoot legally and FREEEE~~

ps. I'm the asian dude in camie pants and black shirt. The one with an AR:skull1:

Yes, the XJ is purple...ppl at work call it Barney. lol, it went into the bodyshop it's being re-painted.

Where did you guys go shooting? I like the heavy barreled 10/22 (Butler Creek conversion?) I'm suprised the deputys didn't hassle you about your AR....I was under the impression that it was only legal to shoot them at a public range (California sucks!):dunno: and lastly, which Turners do you work at

I do happen to have a california legal AR/M4 but I rarely take it out in public...

on another note I would also like to know what turners you work at....I need an XD 45 in the tactical version and I'm ready to buy it from you, if you work off commision. Otherwise i'm off to the san bernardino location

if you get an XD .45 you want to get an aftermarket grip safety for it. IIRC it's Barsto that makes it. Why do you want it? If you don't depress the safety all the way and rack the slide, you will slice the plastic of top of the current one and lock the slide on the frame. Springfield will fix it for you at no charge (drill out the slide stop) and put same part that had the problem back in for ya and ship it back

Otherwise then that, they're great guns.

700 is a nice setup. I picked up one in .308 and love it

Don't get to shoot it much cause I don't have the time to go to a long range

Btw, which scope is that?

nice! I need to get my workout one of these days. Farthest distance I played at with my 700 is nowhere near that....... heck, I still haven't broken it in! IIRC it's got less then 60 rounds through it

I will be giving Barsto machine a call after I get it...I have been looking at there mods for as long as I've been shopping for this one...

I work at the Turner's in Chino Hills. I'm there everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. Afternoon works.

I was shooting in Palm Springs desert.

My Ar is legal because it's got that 'bullet button' lol.

KRAKER · Jan 16, 2008

Is the bullet button, you are talking about the forward assist?

terryg · Jan 17, 2008

In SB area, Manzanita flats (hwy 330 @ 1 1/2 miles from 1st ranger station), and 2 places off main trail out of fawnskin are open shooting areas, and FREE. Manzanita flats is closed during high fire danger. Most BLM land is open-shooting, however some places (like mojave dry lake bed) have restrictions due to high ATV activity. Been out at Jawbone canyon a couple times w/ one of my brothers - he shoots the super-long range stuff.
