lol i wish i could buy some tracers to see how far they go. If i go on top of our grain bins i can see like 20km around easily. North of me is a pretty big hill, unreal scenery from up there. Good thing about flat ground and no trees. Coyotes don't have anywhere to hide, my SKS is awesome when they're out and about. I don't know if you guys go shooting gophers or not up by armstrong in the farmland up there but i have 3 semi auto .22lr and a bout 4 boxes of rounds it's just good fun no matter who you are.
I lived south of Vernon for a while north of Kelowna during the winter time, but never seen the area during the summer. Would be nice to go back. Can't say i'd be able to live there again. It's just so crowded.
If you should purchase one after drooling on your iPad I urge you to reframe from putting a vertical for grip on it as you need your hand to ride! There's better grips you can purchase
I hear the world was a better place to live in 20 years ago lol. Can't say i'd done much 20 years ago, guess still being a kid on the farm. But i completely understand the summer time there with all the lakes it attracts idiots like flies to ****. I always thought Kamloops was more so the desert of BC, and Kelowna Vernon area was more so a green lush area. I've only ever been during the winter when everything was more so hibernating. Where can one even shoot in that area, pretty hard to go shoot when every trees got a hippie chained to it.
Nice SKS, just make sure that rivet stays pinned to 5 in that mag. AS tempting as it is, its not worth it. Make sure you clean that puppy good after you shoot corrosive ammo. I usually spray it down immediately with Seafoam deep creep and then spray it with my air compressor to get it in and around on everything. Then i move the action around a bunch wipe it down, and spray it again, rinse and repeat until it's more so dry.
I'm a big fan of gun maintenance. I disassemble all my guns on a regular basis. BUT having said that, I have a couple SKS's, I have one in particular that I have chosen NOT to clean and I now have 1700 rnds through it and it functions perfectly. Some will flame me thinking the rifle has become a safety issue now but it started off as a bet with a buddy. He told me that if I shot 100 rounds of corrosive ammo through it and left it for 6 months, the gun would be Fawked... It's now 4 yrs old and I love pulling it out and shooting a few clips with it in front of him just to stir the chit. Lol.
When I bought my xcr the guy was saying you could face up to 5 years, not sure if that's true or not but definatley not worth the risk lol
