Apparently so...it says so on the internet, so it must be true

Ah, I forgot, it's a Toyota. Good at going fast, not so good at stopping going fast.

Took my 300 win mag and 30.06 out to recheck zero today.
Good to go.
Stopped by an old favorite gun shop on the way home and saw a beautiful Mark V on consignment.

I give ten to one odds that you will find a chevy small block in Al Gore III'rd Prius! has anyone ever see a Toyota go 100 mph?... It kind of reminds me of Arriana Huffington berating Arnold Schwarzenegger about his Hummer, when she was driving a Chevy Tahoe that got worse mileage.... but she was helping to green the enviroment up.... Uhh yeah!

I DROS'd my first bolt action rifle today, 10 days in jail. It's a Howa .223 tactical. Looking forward to getting to know how to use it effectively. In all the years I've been shooting (since I was 8) I have never used a scoped rifle.

Guess I'll be headin' up to Angeles soon as well. =)

I love hearing that Turbo. I researched a long time before I settled on a Howa, and still ended up having them build one for me rather than buying one off the rack.

Sweet, you'll love it.
Since you're not used to scopes I would do some research and make sure you understand them.
There is more to learn than meets the eye.
Besides becoming familiar with the scopes operation I like a book called "Dead On. The long-range marksmans guide to extreme accuracy" by Tony Noblitt and Warren Gabrilska. The principles and theory explanations are really good.
I'm heading out of town for a few weeks but I'm happy to throw a few rounds down range any time I'm not working.
Have fun.
