The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[wingrider1800]

Morning everyone.

First day of vacation. Had one hell of a storm roll through just after 2am.

Dang Spicey, I'm jealous for sure. It may be easier for you to post when you have to work than when your playing.

That’s a nice combination. The colors compliment each other

I have/had those very grips on my matte SS 75B. They are awesome.

I currently have LOK grips on all my CZ's - the Ridgeback model - a bunch thicker and really give a purchase on the grip.

Colors are camo & army green w/brown, FDE w/black

Good morning fellas

G'morning, one and all. Late nite awaiting word on the granddaughter-in-law. Some BP issues with her pregnancy. Doc seemed unworried. Told her to lay off the pop and caffeine.
Bacon, egg and cheese burritos and coffee in. Turkey trotting down the driveway looks drowned and miserable. Water over my crocs disposing of a birdfeeder raider this morning.

We got some storms last night, but nothing woke the kids or us up, so it couldn't have been too bad. Looking forward to Spring and the SGE!

I think its time for a MM count down update......morning.....

 

[MindfulMan]

Is it still morning ?

I think its time for a MM count down update......morning.....

I decided it would be prudent to wait for the 'official ' date.

A thread flies when you're having fun!

I was just reading some old threads. The first experience I had with the Czickness was in the XII edition. I got hooked.

Accurate. Worked in the garage yesterday on some things at the bench. Didn't like the press setup, so fixed that (took a few revisions...).

This morning I put together new load data and rifle chamber measurements for 2 new loads in the Howa 223 (73gr Hdy ELDM, 80gr Hdy ELDM), 2 loads for the Noveske 5.56 (73 ELDM, 88 ELDM) and also a load for the Howa 6.5CM (140gr Hdy ELDM). This will keep me busy for awhile. I have all the components needed, so I should be able to start resizing, priming and loading rounds today on something.

But for now, I get to call Sportsman Warehouse about the Bergara HMR 308 that I've been trying to buy from them for several days. It's been a frustrating ordeal and I'll update once I get done talking to a supervisor.

I also might be making a long road trip this week to get the wife a Mustang.....her money, not mine.

Where you headed?

So, here's the ordeal with Sportsman's Warehouse. And it's a real doozy.

On Sunday morning I got approved for their Credit Card online, so I could get an extra $50 off the already discounted Bergara HMR 308 they showed in stock online. Normal price $949 (and that's competitive too), sale price of $799. Also had $7 in reward money. So, I'm looking at $795 out the door for the rifle and it would arrive in Fort Wayne by March 1st. Cool.

I go to place the order and it gives an error at the very end, says it's out of stock. I call their customer service, spend a ton of time waiting for them to figure it out. They can't find me a rifle and will need to get management involved on Monday. Call me on Monday with an update that they haven't figured it out. 24 hours goes by and still nothing. I call them, no rifle, not gonna happen.

But the store in Greenwood shows one in stock now, about a 2hr drive for me. I ask Sportsman to help me out here. They offer me a 15% refund if I want to drive to Greenwood and buy the rifle, but nobody can call them because Greenwood's phones are down (which I confirmed myself). I ask if I can still get the $50 off deal with the Credit Card, because that was the only reason I got the card. Yes, they say, but now that I've closed out of the online order screen from Sunday, I don't have the card info until they send me the physical card, which is due to arrive around March 3rd or 4th. And they can't tell me when the sale ends for the Bergara.....

I just ordered that Leupold mount for an LPVO. Want to try the offset rmr behind the mount as opposed to out front.

I'm really liking this setup

Where you headed?

Possibly north to Grand Rapids.

Howdy TT, has the water went down in your area?

Not yet

Possibly north to Grand Rapids.

Thought that was south for you
