Look Whats I Gots
I had some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket, so I went ahead and got the Leopold Scout Scope and Leopold rings for the Garand. Came today. I am very pleased.
Only 2.5 times magnification, but even with that little I bet I can see a LOT better where my rounds are hitting at 50 yards. Maybe 100.
I'd never have done anything that I couldn't revert back to status quo. No milsurps were harmed.
But the US Navy already harmed that rifle, anyway, rechambering it from .30-06 to 7.62 NATO. SO it isn't the pristine 1943 rifle I sometimes wish it was.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.

It looks great!
As a shooter and a milsurp collector, I find myself both happy and sad at the same time. It's a weird feeling. ;)
