The bed shotgun does have a light, it's on the side you can't see. If I pick it up in a hurry, I only have to slide my grip forward an inch to tap the rear clicky. I'm a flashlight nerd and can attest to its reliability. Sometimes I slam it on the ground and kick hell out it to test. :) Also, I painted the front sight with white gel nail polish. That shit sticks! And despite other not so great experiments, the white front-sight lines up perfectly, day or night.

I can share a video my gr took of me shooting it yesterday. With 3" 00-buck, I felt out of control with it, but the video don't lie, and neither does the paper, surprisingly on target, which I aimed to test. I'm 5'8" and 140lbs, thought it would kick my ass, and it did, was digging around for less powerful shells. :)

I'm left-handed, so the card works for me as-is. LOL, you made me check though! Tried it on the receiver on a couple of shotguns, just flows better for a lefty, or for me anyway. God. Damnit. Now I have to test again. Curse you!

As to the optics? The blaster has a solid sight. LOL, most expensive red-dot I've bought! Zero magnification, zero parallax, but it's fun for close-range .22. Gun's a little jammy though.

The Ruger AR-556 has a Romeo MSR. Cheap, I know, but it's held zero through 1,000 rounds, almost boring to shoot. I can hit 4" steel at 50', even vibrating with coffee or a breathless jog. Good enough for this old man! My fav precision rifle is a Savage Arms .22WMR with a sale-priced Bushnell scope. I'm a sorry shot, but I can't miss with that thing.

We should be friends. Don't suppose you're anywhere near NW Florida?

Good stuff, white nail polish is a much cheaper version of the gold beads the old timers used. If you feel out of control with magnum rounds, try 2 3/4" #4 buck. It tends to pattern tighter as well.

You might be a lefty but swapping shoulders when maneuvering same handed corners is standard practice. Food for thought, and the reload might be faster.

50 feet isn't really proper rifle distance, for some more fun try working your way out to 300 meters in increments, as your range allows.

I tend to avoid Florida, too hot and I'm scared of Florida-man.

Unfortunately 50' is all I got at camp for the moment. As I shoot and mow down the trees behind the range, the problem is resolving itself nicely. :)

It's all swampy starting at 50', so just plowing a hole straight through isn't so easy.
