I was finally able to get time and set up for 600 yards. I was using a plastic chair and the tailgate on a side by side as the bench. Hit 8 of my 10 on a 16" plate. Gun was a Remington 700 SPS in 308.
Factory 10/22 stainless heavy barrel. Target was at 44 yards. First 10 rounds of CCI standard from a clean barrel. I have about 300 rounds through this rifle.
The 6.5x55 is my favorite to shoot. I would really like one with a varmint barrel. Tikka offers this, but the dealers I've called do not show them available. Does anyone know if this rifle is an option in the USA? My other option is to build one.
I got lucky on this one. My stand is at the edge of a field with a creek at 100 yards. Spotted him at 150 in the woods. He came down the hill and crossed the creek into the field. They usually will follow the creek and back into the woods. He was quartered towards me and I got a good left lung...
