back from the sandbox...

[54MAN]

well i made it back from the sandbox 48 hours ago and after spending some time with my beautiful wife i got to play with my toys...while overseas i ordered a traditions deerhunter and a lyman trade rifle and got to compare them along with my pedersoli blue ridge which i had ordered last deployment (anyone seeing a pattern when i leave and get bored lol )no i havent been able to shoot them yet cause i still need to hit a supply store and pick up some new jags brushes and bp (does cabelas carry real bp?) must say though having compared them the blue ridge is definitely the winner in the quality department. has a much smoother lock (and its the old leaf spring style vs coil spring) wood to metal fit is much better...but i must say a much bigger hassle to take apart and clean... the lyman is nice, has a more comfortable stock and the recoil im sure will be much less, put a 57 peep on it (yes i know...a sin..but the blue ridge is still or with filed sights lol) and of course the deerhunter has the fiber optics...cant say i can knock traditions really...the quality of the lock is on par with the lyman, smoother on top of that.. but the best part is the wife actually likes it cause its so short and light...and wants to try it anyhow..just excited to be back and cant wait to take them to the range...

Welcome home! No, I don't think that Cabelas carries real BP, at least not the ones I've been to. I do know that the Bass Pro Shop near me carries Goex but the best way to get the real stuff at a good price is to order it. Have fun with your new toys!

Add another Welcome home, and Thank You! Enjoy the family and the toys, and like someone mentioned above, maybe you can combine the two for some quality time.

(I know my MLs helped me relax when I got back, so hope they will do the same for you.)
