I love Cabela's!We spent a good hour looking around,which is easy to do,as they have everything. I was able to pick up some much needed equipment,and I FINALLY got myself a Chrony... Last F1 on the shelf so I snatched it up.... Now I can actually utilize Chairgun Pro...Three years back into the sport,and no Chrony doesn't really work... I'll be setting it up today,and hopefully get some reviews posted in the near future... The weather was interesting....hot,and sunny followed by cold,and rainy.On the drive back yesterday we encountered a decent sized snowstorm...all,and all,a fantastic trip. _________________   Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 1:39 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Cool! I want to go to Reno or Vegas, but for me it will be a flight. It would be a 3 day drive for me. I don't want to go that bad! lol I like Cabela's too. It sounds like you had a good trip! _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

I'm actually glad I'm a few hours away,or I could see myself developing a spending issue... _________________   Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 6:30 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho Way cool! We're planning a trip to kings Canyon the week after labor day. We have no Idea how we're gonna pull it off. Just gonna set the dates and make it happen. It's either that or we never leave the house. Never been to Reno.

Cool thing was that she is on a mailing list for the Peppermill Casino,so we get a free room a couple times a year,depending on what promotions they have going on.... Heck last time they even gave us a $50 credit to gamble with.All we did was spring for gas,and eats.If you ever get up that way you MUST hit Cabela's...It's Heaven for us guys...so much stuff I don't need,but must acquire.... Loving the new Chrony I picked up...now I get to build more toys,just so I can tinker... My wife gets home in about an hour,and she'll find my nose in the Chairgun program... It's all Bob's fault....... _________________   Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 11:54 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA For me, it's a tieup between Bob, and Al. They both make me want to spend money I don't have. lol _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

My chrony works great... Ran a string last night with my 2300KT,and am breaking 500 fps with 14.3's and a 10.2 barrel.The only mods internally so far is a hammer spring out of a 1377....not a bad starting point at all.... Time to juice it up a bit..... _________________   Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:05 am DavidS Banned Joined: 31 May 2011 Posts: 140 Location: Coarsegold, Calif. Yea Mark, good old Boom Town & Cabelas, Glad you enjoyed yourself, they do have a lot to see but everything is over priced from what I saw. _________________ I'm a Firm Believer in Gun Control!

Did ya buy some nuts or fudge at Cabela's? If not... you have to go back... #1 rule with your new Crony.... DON'T SHOOT IT! Not sure if you can have them in Kalifoniastan... but ya should have picked up some CCI Segmented .22lr rounds... Kills, Cleans and Cooks Whistle Pigs/Ground Squirrels in one shot... 1640fps/191fpe at the muzzle... But you have to be chambered for Stingers... Next time you head up to Reno... Give me about a weeks notice... I can come down and we can go out and shoot in the Desert. I got a buddy I can call up and bring out the big guns... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Haven't blown a dent in the chrony.....yet... At first I was getting some wonky readings,then realized I was too close.The rush of Co2 past the sensors being the issue.... I'll definitely take you up on that offer next trip up.By the way,if you haven't been there yet,and if you ever go through Nor Cal again, stop at "Guns,Fishing&Other Stuff" in Vacaville.Great shop,and they have an indoor range on the side of the building. I went in there with my Wife to check out some goodies.They don't have much air gun stuff,which was what I was looking for...Total gun porn though. While inside my wife looked over at a rifle on the counter fully outfitted with All the goodies,and said "what the heck is that"?.... I said It's a "Special Purpose" rifle. Well...she said, "what kind of bullets does it shoot"?.338 Lapua Magnum... Is it for like Deer hunting?....errr..not exactly... It was one sweet rig...fully outfitted...$4500.00....ammo..about $6.00 a shot... _________________   Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 8:37 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho Yeah but it drops moose @ 900 yards. C'mon Mark. Pick one up. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 8:53 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA I hit my favie pawn shop today...
