Elko, NV Labor Day Camping Meet (Aug 29th-Sept 1st)

[Ascinder]

My brother wants me to buy an airsoft gun so we can shoot eachother.

So are you going to?

[taylorRichie]

I have a Baikal DROZD with a long barrel and HPA bulk. I shoot Steel BBs at nearly 800FPS, and I can shoot 1200RPM (30 shots in 1.5 seconds)



I haven't shot it for a long time though

So are you going to?

My problem is this, I would by an airsoft gun, but I only want quality. And to get quality, I would need to spend $400+/-. And for that kind of money I would rather just buy another real gun.

But then you can only play once I'm sure you can find a decent servicable gun for way less than 4 bills. I mean it's not something you'll be handing down to your grandkids one day, it only needs to reliably shoot something out with each trigger pull.

I may be out of place on this trip. The only thing I have to shoot off is my mouth

[Ascinder]

Oh, I think there will be tons of extra hardware lying around for you to play with, we should all throw out some lists of what ammo to bring for all the "movie props". I'll start: .308 Winchester(AKA 7.62x54) and .40 cal.

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, totally. Anyone who wants to shoot anything I am bringing, just pick up however much ammo you want to blow through. I don't mind giving away a few clips here and there, but ammo is getting pricey. You are all welcome to shoot my .22 all you want though, since $15 will buy you 500 rounds. Everything else is quite a bit more pricey than that.

James, you will want to shoot my Saiga 12. So go to Walmart and pick up one of those boxes of 100 shells, usually about $22-$25. You will enjoy it, trust me.

Other stuff I will bring eats:

9mm
7.62x39
357
12 guage
.22

That's about it.

Ldub, you are gonna make the drive down to Elko, right?

I moved my response. Even if I have to go without front CV's installed I am there.

OK Then, you can keep the fob....
Best,

Now that's what I am talking about.

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

OK where is Idaho?

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

So does anyone have any ideas on where to meet up in Elko? I have never really been there, but I can see if there is like a common landmark where we can all meet up Friday.

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

How about here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/smiths-food-...nters-inc-elko

Hey, works for me! Good idea, that way we can stock up on any extra food/ice/water/etc before we head out.

Now, I have been looking online and talking to some people on an Elko 4x4 forum and one of the suggestions was to go north to the "jack creek canyon" area, but I think this is national park land possibly. And with the toys we are bringing I would like to camp on BLM land at least one of the nights, if not all. Sometime this week I will get out my topo maps for Nevada and see what I can see and post back.

Hey everyone,

I have been talking to a couple guys on this forum:

http://www.banginbones.com/forum.shtml

One of the guys seems to know the area pretty well and offered to show us around. I didn't agree to anything yet, as I wanted to get a consensus from everyone who is coming. I have no idea who the dude is, but he seems somewhat keen to meet us and our VXes. I have no opinion either way, so I just wanted to see what you guys think before I reply with a yes or a no on having him give us a tour...

What does he drive?
