I searched high and low. Rifle case. Was going to store them there with the rifle. Decided not to because I was afraid they'd mar the almost pristine stock, but I thought maybe I wedged them under the padding... but nope, not there.
Little range bag that I use for the rifle side of the range. Nope.
Big bag that we use on the pistol side. Nope.
Gun station (meaning my desk), nope.
Floor under the desk, trunk of the car, cabin of the car, bedroom, all gun cases, all ammo cases, the toolbox with my reloading stuff in it, screw it I checked the toolboxes with my mechanic tools, filing cabinet, under my bed, linen closet, silverware drawer cause you just never know. THEY JUST UP AND DISAPPEARED. Even walked around the yard with a big magnet on a stick.
Asked my girlfriend if she'd look for me. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes means all the difference.
She grabbed my big range bag, opened the magazine pocket, and just so happened to find the hidden pocket I'd completely forgotten about. There they were. Took her about 3-4 seconds.
