Added a scope to the shotgun. It's a cheap little scope that I got used for 45 bucks, but it's is an improvement from the very, very basic open sights I was using. The scope, rings, and labor came to a total of $85. It was either have the shotgun scoped or buy a rifle, and I just don't have $1,000 to burn right now, so it's another year of lugging the shotgun around. At least now I have a little more confidence in the gun and its improved accuracy. As a side note, the gunsmith bore-sighted it for me when he installed the scope. First shot was dead on. Slugs run about $17 for a box of five, and without the bore sight it probably would have taken me at least seven shots. In other words, he saved me about $25.
I also made some adjustments to my pack. The pins on it were a bit noisy so I secured them with flagging tape. I also removed the two straps of webbing that helped cushion the pack against my back, which they never really did considering they were just a thin piece of nylon.
Up in four hours. We'll see what the day holds . . .
