Took the 'kids' out shooting.

[nevada]

My son and one of my daughters asked me to take them shooting, so out we went. Turns out my son can bump fire my MAK90 from the hip, VERY nice. Showed my daughter and her boyfriend how to use a Taurus 357 and FEG .380. But my daughter just kept loading and shooting the CZ97 45. She really likes that one. They all liked the Garand, but thought it had broken when the first clip chinged out of it. The .32 baby Luger was a hit, and they handled the COP 4 barrel derringer well, too. Son loved the Cetme, but not as much as the MAK90. The SKS was easy on them too. They had fun with the Henry survival rifle, no sound or recoil compared to the others. The bolt on it makes more noise than the report. Only my son would try the M44, I used Albanian ammo and it seemed to shoot 'soft' with that. I was surprised. The Mossberg with Wolf 00 just plain hurt. They all turned out to be good shots, they are grown, in their 20s. We had a great morning today. Oh yeah, the cheap Chinese scope on the Mak90 self destructed, I didn't like it anyway.

sounds like a good way to spend the day with the family.

Last weekend was spent with my Dad and one of my brothers and one of my sisters. Always good when you share the day with family. Mostly shot handguns and Dad and baby sis put the pressure on me as I am not a very good pistolero but being they both work in the prison system they shoot and have to qualify often.

Can you please provide make and model of the Chinese scope?

I've been eyeballing some of their scopes and don't want to have problems with it.

I currently have a "Famous Maker" FM-130 red dot on my WASR-10. It's internal rheostat screws loosened up after a couple of hundred rounds. After I got it home, I performed some re-tightening with liberal doses of blue Loc-Tite and have solved that little dillema. This scope has been really good aside from that initial little prob. I've had it on and off several times and each time I re-mounted it, it has retained it's zero. :woohoo-1: It now has over a thousand rounds thru it with no more oh-oh's.

It's great news to hear about parents taking their kids to the range.
I'm slowly breaking in my youngest brother, hoping to get him, his wife and his five kids involved in the shooting sports. I've already got them to get a .22LR and their neighbor has given them a .410. Their oldest son is twelve now and he will soon get some trigger time behind my AK, parental approval pending.

It's an ultrlux 4 x 25, 7" long, with a number 105427 on it. Plain, no lit recticle. The lens is rattleing around in it. I ordered a POSP 4 x 24 and mounting bracket from Kalinka Optics. These $20 scopes :roflmao: just don't seem to do the job.

I can see where a rattling lens would rattle one's confidence. :blink1: That does not speak well of their quality assurance.

Think I'll look for a better name brand I actually recognize.
Thank you for that info!

Yeah, I've been eyeballing those and the SIG P226 as me next .45...Never shot the CZ yet, but shot the SIG...like it.
