@Hodrod I have the same scope in FFP on my bolt gun. It may not be the newest kid on the block but it's a great scope. Sure wish it was sitting on a Barrett though!

@adamsredlines where did you get the brackets?

I could have purchased other scopes (nightforce was my 2nd choice but I wanted to keep the gun period correct)....I just finished mounting it a few minutes ago as I couldn't find my two bubble levels earlier....It looks great on the barrett.....here are a couple of pic's:

Ordered from Home Depot. Not cheap, but way beefier than the normal ones you find.

I got a couple of 1911 specific tools and parts. Got a couple of 1911 projects that I’d like to start working on.

Beefiest sawhorse brackets I've seen...

For the (in progress) collapsible/folding A-frame. Remove pins, fold open, reinsert pins.

To hold more plates, but be transportable, robust and quick/easy to set up. Will finish it tomorrow.

I like the hitch pin setup instead of the old screw in eyebolts. Like you said, quick and easy and they are hardened steel.

Hitch pins are for the folding mechanism. They're 24" apart with a bolt in the middle...so pull the pins out and unfold the two studs and reinstall the pins through the matched holes and now the two studs are longer to hold all the plates. Reverse to take apart and put in my car...so I can take this places with me and shoot steel (and lots of it) wherever I'm going. I'm adding the eye bolts with hitching rings tomorrow that the plates/chains hang from. Once I get it all set finished I'll show the pile ready for transport, then the unit assembled, and time myself setting it up just to see how long it takes.

Today I went to Guys and Gals to pick up this Brownells 10/22 receiver. Trying to keep this Charger “build” halfway low end so I was happy they had them in stock! I’ve heard getting everything fitted to it is a little more hands on, I’ll know shortly.

Gotta cut the legs to correct height tomorrow but dayum....
