Elko, NV Labor Day Camping Meet (Aug 29th-Sept 1st)

[snowtrooper1966]

Thanks for the invite!
I'll probably have to do this solo, since SnowtrooperJR is now with his mom on the weekends. I'll plan on heading up Thursday PM and probably do the motel thing for the evening.
It should be a blast to meet the others...
Best,

[taylorRichie]

I'll bring some Guns and Ammo.

Wonder if I can get an HKs by then.... hmmm... I'll see about borrowing a Socom II also

[snowtrooper1966]

Ah, taylor!
Now you are speaking Bart's lingo! You two should be inseperable, kind of like the Venture bros...Oh wait, that's been done already.
BTW, Taylor, got the PV, now just have to install it.
Thanks again!
Best,

If I can ever get my dad ship ship up my ruger I will bring it along. I am trying to think positive about making this one.

Best,

You're welcome!

Should be a fun little get together! If anyone wants to save up some .223/5.56 Ammo you're welcome to use my AR HBAR to shoot it. It has a 16X Long Range Leupold Optic on it.

But it doesn't like Wolf Ammo too much, unless it's Brass cased.

[CrnCnn]

I like guns, I like to shoot guns, but I am not really a "gun guy." Does that make sense? When Beau and Bart start talking guns my eyes glaze over.

That being said, any specific ammo better for a 9 than others? I get the emails from the ammoman website and wonder if its worth buying in bulk and realy dont know the difference anyway.

[taylorRichie]

For a 9mm I'd just get whatever... Everything should shoot fine. When you're working with most pistol cartridges the only thing that changes are accuracy and ballistics (as far as penetration, lethality etc.) A pistol isn't accurate to begin with so when you're out plinking why pay a premium. (IMO)

I'm also not a gun guy... or I'm a newb... I just have access to guns, so that's why I've started embracing them

I highly recommend you guys buy a couple bricks of 17HMR (~$13 /50 rounds) You're going to want to shoot my HMR.

It won alot of awards this year... Most accurate gun for the price. Most accurate gun at any price.

Ahhh, that's too bad. I have 1000 rounds of Wolf .223 sitting here. But that's ok, I will have enough of my own toys....

Bring some... I'll give it a good cleaning before we go. If it's 55 grain (which I'm sure it is) Then it'll shoot, It just doesn't cycle well... If I bring a can of Gun oil then we can go through the entire 1000 with probably 20 jams

Spell it out for us. Aside from the CV repairs, what else do you need done to come along?

Bart

No, no, not see, DO BRING a Socom II.

Best,

James, come up Thursday, and stay at my place. You have proven yourself to be a stand up guy, and I have a spare queen sized bed. Save yourself some cash and buy some extra oil and gas for the trip.

I just read in the paper this morning that Elko has the highest gas prices in Nevada. Where everyone else has come down 40 cents a gallon recently Elko has come down a nickel. And I thought Searchlight was bad.

Yeah, all of the "remote" areas of Nevada have stupid high gas prices. I figure we don't have a choice. I was going to bring 10 gallons of gas with, but since we will most likely be within 100 miles of Elko the whole time, as long as we fill up before we leave town we should be fine.

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

So, getting close, my friends. I've been thinking about gas. The campsite is about 60 miles south of Elko, which is where the nearest service station is. Now that's fine, but if we decide to take day trip out for wheeling, shooting, etc, we may run into some issues, especially those of us who get 200-240 per tank. What do you guys think? Are we all going to bring auxillery gas cans?
