Less than 2 weeks...
I trust everyone is all ready to go right?
Yeah...right.
I finally got all the prep work done.
Cases are prepped, casting is all done. Just finished all the sizing and lubing that needed to be done.
Now I just have to do the actual loading.

Well.......sort of/pretty much/kinda.
Gonna select which Implements Of Destruction get the final call to make the trip, and then do a final sight-in/tweak-up this week, followed by back-filling the emptied brass. Tough job, I know.......but someone has to do it. Gonna travel light on firearms, since less than half of the toys I bring get fired most years. I am trainable, even if it takes a decade or so for the lessons to sink in.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
BLIM-BLAMMIN' EXPLETIVES-DELETED WIND!! I had my mouth all set to do a range day today, but the BFE's C of C's "therapeutic breezes" would have caused cast 30-06 boolits to corner like Porsche 911s today. Still at it at midnight, too--25-40 MPH.
Final cut made on guns going to NV, though.

still trying to figure out what to bring.
so far i make out a scoped rifle,an open sighted rifle,a lever gun,and a revolver of some sort.
and i think little girl is bringing a black 223 cal brass flinger. [and somehow thinks i am gonna load something for it]
Have you seen the weather in Winnemucca today? 40+ mph winds, temps dropped 35 degrees, and snow tonight almost to the valley floor plus a frost warning. I love Nevada but a plan B is always at the ready. Holly and I still plan to be camped up in the quakies in the Santa Rosas for a few days prior to coming into town but Plan B is down the mountain.. Can't wait. We leave Monday.
It was 99 in Hawthorne on Sunday 46 on the front porch this morning . Its been crazy it was snowing Memorial weekend Saturday.

Weather is being weird. I am still planning on being there.
Is the lever gun event iron sights only? I'm bringing my BLR and need to know if I should pull the scope and get sighted with the irons.
I can't recall a "levergun-specific" event in the past, though there have been milsurp/as-issued venues previously. The usual "divisions" involve iron sights vs. scope sights, group size vs. score with each at varying distances, a long range/iron sight gig, and handgun and rifle versions.
I would be reluctant to remove a scope from a rifle just to make it "legal". Most of the arms on the line aren't target-grade tooling, just sporter-level fusils and handgonnes for the most part. A BLR would likely be competitive as-is, scope or irons on board. If some F-class or 20# benchrest rigs with Pluto-viewing optics started showing up, my guess would be that the Rules Committee would level the playing field in some novel fashion. Offhand from a skateboard comes to mind in this context.

As I recall at the last awards banquet, NVcurmudgeon immortally described it as the "lever action, iron sights, stand-on-your-own-hind-legs-and-shoot-like-a-man" 200 yard silhouette shoot. I think this might be NVcurmudgeon's personal favorite but I am sure he will chime in shortly and disabuse me of this. I think will be trying my hand at it this time and hopefully not embarrass myself.
At 200 yds "stand-on-your-own-hind-legs-and-shoot-like-a-man", I hope the target is a life size steel buffalo or I will embarrass myself.
My memory must be failing me--sorry about that.

I thank you for your reply. No harm done. I think the advise you gave is sound and the scope stays on. I can't hit anything at 200yds offhand anyway.

...............Pretty much if you have cast loaded up for it, bring it
I'm kinda thinking of bringing my Rigby long range match muzzle loader for the long range match shooting against a steel gong at 400+ yards. It's done either standing, kneeling or sitting with iron sights of any type. And yes it's sedate enough to shoot a muzzle loader

If I shoot all this up it's going to be a h*ll of a weekend.
Same here.
Looks like you will have the longest travel distance award hands down.
I've had it the past two years, but you should have me beat by at least 300 miles.
