Found a new way to add some fun to my shooting. Played with the GoPro a little today while shooting my 20-223, up close footage will be awesome but for targets father then about 75 yrds it is lacking so I'll attempt to get video footage threw the scope as well.
The GoPro was an easy mount set up but the camera mount for the "threw the scope" view will need a bit of work. At the moment the camera/video mount will interfere with working the bolt of a typical bolt action rifle but on an ar-15 platform it is good to go.
Once I get all the bugs figured out I'll be able to video tape the "on-target" performance of my swaged bullets. Ever seen what a 22 cal bullet will do to a ketchup packet that is stapled behind the picture of a common ground squirrel? Pretty cool!
Also got a "PIG Saddle Mount" attached to a simple tripod for extra fun in the ground squirrel fields this spring. Should be good bit of fun. Footage of a good day of shooting is always fun to look at when you are not out there in the field.
Here is a quick you tube video of a few rounds I put down range with the 20-223. Not really much excitement but I wanted to test the concept, the potential is certainly there. Imagine a field of sage rats on the charge and guns a blazing :Fire: I figure when I get some "hunting" footage I'll edit it together with a spit screen so you will have the GoPro image from above the scope and a video footage threw the scope. Should be pretty cool if I can get it all to work and a great way to show the capabilities of our swaged bullets from 22lr jackets.

A picture threw the GoPro while I was moving the gun, notice the end of scope and barrel in focus, now imagine a field full of evil sage rats :Fire:
