More Slug Madness!

First shots downrange from the Mossberg 695!

I thought I had taken pictures of the firearm and 100-yard target but didn't. The 100-yard shooting was outstanding, <2.5 MOA. I'm going to try to do some 50-yard shooting this morning while recording velocities.

Here are the 50 and 100-yard targets. When I finished getting the scope sighted at 25-yards, I only had four rounds left. I shot two at 50-yards, in that they looked good, I went ahead and shot the last two at 100-yards. By the way, I finally quit fooling around and bought a 12Ga laser bore sighter this morning.

That's promising for nearly 500 grains of lead.

Stopped by the local "toy store" (Cabelas) they have a Marlin 512 in the gun library that was pretty clean as far as can be told with a disassembly asking $349.

That is a very fair price. I would image with States like yours now allow certain centerfire, slug guns are appearing on resale racks.
