Spring Shooting is right around the corner and many of us have bought new firearms. What did you get and what scope did you put on it?

I picked up a savage youth 7mm-08, and a Bushmaster in 308. The savage came with a basic Bushnell but works fine for my kid for now. The 308 has a Vortex Viper. Although I have recently shot them to get sighted in I'm looking forward to some range time once things warm up a bit.

I'm in the process of getting a new muzzleloader. No scope as they are not allowed in Nevada. Other than that, shooting my bow and need to send a few rounds down range through my 7mag.

I usually burn a thousand rounds a year through my .220 swift, .243,.17 rem, and .22 hornet shooting prairie dogs but with all these shortages going on, this year I think I'm going to pass.

My muzzleloader will be here Monday. A KonusPro scope on a CVA Accura MR. I have a Savage 16FHSS 243WIN coming next month. Will be putting a Vortex Viper 3-9x40 scope on it with Talley mounts.

I may not be shooting anything other than my air-rifle this spring ...... I just came back from looking for .22LR ammo. :(

I've heard ammo has been hard to find, so I've been casually looking, but geeze!

Thanks IT. I'm up north near Moscow, so that's a little out of the way for me. I'm headed to the Bighorn show in Spokane in a couple weeks so figure I'll hit all the sporting goods stores in Spokane and Coeur d' Alene.

I have a WBY Accumark 257wby I need to get loads worked up for (leupold vx3 4.5-14x40 cds) and dialed in. I started on it before Christmas and had gotten the 110gr accubonds close, but still wasn't to my liking. Also picked up a Remington 700 MTN SS in 7/08 at Christmas and put a Leupold VX3L 3.5-10x50 cds on it. I'm really hoping that one likes the same loads my wife's mtn rifle likes to simplify things.

So how can i incorporate air soft gear, and tactical swat gear into my spring time shooting? Or for that matter back country hunting?
What, you've never broke out the airsoft gun and swat gear to shoot down wasp nests? :D
