Haven't posted on this thread in a while. Been busy building a ranch, barns, fencing and ... a dedicated shooting range on 30 acres here in east TN.
It's all AR500 steel. 2 banks of targets hung from treated 4x4's and set in concrete encased vinyl sleeves. As they get shot up, pull the 4x4, replace with a fresh one. It's a short drive from the ranch house and I use it a ton. Built an elevated shooting platform and the target banks are 15 yards and 30 yards. I shoot mostly handguns (shot competitive IPSC) so the distances did not need to be that long. Since these images were shot, I added some heavier steel on the lower level of the 30 yard bank in order to shoot my .500 S&W Mag and my 44 mag lever gun.

I wear electronic headphones and they shut down the sound of the gun blast BUT allow you to hear the "ringing of steel" when you make contact. Priceless!
When I'm done, walk down and spray paint them and walk away ... has been VERY low maintenance

Had major surgery this summer and while recovering I decided to celebrate (survival!) by building a custom 22 target pistol using a S&W Victory as the base model. Had to be a "Victory", right?

Anyway ... added/changed out:

TandemKross trigger
Volquartsen grips
TandemKross Halo charging ring
TandemKross extended mag pads
Burris FastFire 3 red dot
MaddMacs Precision custom red dot mount (not pictured, but was nearly half the cost of the raw gun! - and very nice)
Volquartsen barrel and muzzle brake
Handmade leather (in England) .22/pellet ammo pouch

Love the Victory with ONE exception. The safety is right where a right handed person will hit it (especially with the form fitting grips) and I am ALWAYS putting it on during recoil.

Other than that, the gun is a tack driver against all other .22 that I have, including 3 other versions of the MKs

Built a his and hers of these from Bushmaster ORC base rifles. Incredibly difficult to get parts now and took 2 months to get all this together but the Eotech G-30s came in this weekend so after locking them on the “twins” are done. The one in the picture is the one I built for my wife.

Here’s the build: Bushmaster ORC, Magpul sights, Magpul QD swivels, Magpul P-Mags, Magpul angled FG, Streamlight TLR-7, Eotech G-30, Eotech 512 HWS, Midwest Industries 13.75 M-Lok hand guard. Had to cut the gas block down and grind it a ton (then re-blue it) to fit the hand guard but other than that everything else was straightforward

Will put new triggers in next

Not easy, but you can do your own. I bought ink pad, holder and cards on Amazon so I don't have to depend on 3rd party
Really had no choice because I needed them for suppressor application during height of COVID19. Everyone including the Sheriffs office were shut down
Buy extra cards if you go this route, takes a bit of practice
