Went out to Blue Trail Range today to sight in my newly mounted Millett DMS-1 1-4x24 Tactical Scope in my LaRue SPR/M4 1.93" LT135 QD mount. Got it zeroed in pretty well with 1.5" groups at 100 yards, not too bad considering the shitty weather. I left feeling like a drowned rat...soaked!
One thing I did realize was that I need to invest in a quality spotting scope! My binoculars were not cutting it, especially in the heavy rain at times. I had trouble seeing where my rounds were impacting on target until the nice gent next to me advised that the Range Safety Officer had extra spotting scopes in his shed. Even with the spotting scope dialed in at x45 it was often difficult to see where the rounds were hitting in the driving rain. What a life saver! Otherwise my trip would've been a bust.
All in all, any day on the range is a good day! If it ain't rainin', we ain't training'! It's just liquid sunshine!
