[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1639016, member: 8915"] Last year I spent 3 days shooting prairie dogs with friends from our varmint club, There was 10 of us. It's a blast and tons of practice. We successfully made shots out to 600 + yards. My buddy and I had the following rifles: [B]22 Hornet[/B] 40gr Blitzking 13grs Lil-Gun CZ 527 American 20" barrels kills to 390 yards [B]22-250[/B] 35gr V-Max Kills out to 610 yards T/C Bulberry Custom pistol 14" barrel Remington 700 Krieger 1/9, 26" barrel [B]243[/B] 87gr V Max Remington 700 Krieger 1/9, 24" barrel 600 yards [B]Bogden [/B]Camera Tripod with Hog Saddle [B]Caldwell[/B] Tripod with V cradles supporting forearm and butt stock. [B]Harris [/B]Bipod each rifle Shooting Mats, Folding Chairs, Folding table, Table shooting rest, Ground Tarps. [B]Spotting[/B] Scope 20-80 x 80, [B]Leica[/B] 15x56 Rangefinder Binocular G[B]unwerks[/B] G7 Rangefinder Wide brim hat , long sleeve shirt, wind breaker jacket, boots. LOTS of water, Ice Chest full of ice Blocks, 30qt cooler with COLD drinks, food. We hunt from sunrise to sunset. We take turns as Spotter/Shooter in this way we can call corrections for wind and elevation. When we miss your spotter can can your adjustment. This has resulted in quick follow up hits on target. This year I'm taking my new Howa Mini Mauser in 6.5 Grendel, Nightforce 3.5-15 x 50 NSX for the long shots. Over the past few weeks I've developed data for my drop card wiith dope to 500 yards. Going to reload 100 rds so I can shoot to 800 yards in a few days. [/QUOTE]
