[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 1410694, member: 29392"] totally agree on bigger back stop and smaller target. I do that with a good piece of cardboard at 600 when I'm trying to verify scope dope. All but one of 9 scopes is MOA/MIL. I never use them as such, but they are. I've been hunting out of the same condos for 18 years. When I target practice in the late summer and fall all of my targets are known distances to within a yard. I have pulled tapes and rolled wheels time and time again to make sure. It's legal to hunt over bait in FL and I do. Corn piles go right next to the stobb where the targets were. I killed 23 deer this year Closest was 430 yards. Of all 23, only 2 made 20 steps and perished. Other 21 went down tail first. I don't hunt at more than 650. The only thing I will shoot at without hesitation is a coyote or bobcat. Gonna shoot at them until they are either in the woods or I'm out of ammo. Fawn killers and turkey killers gotta go. The 243 and 6.5 both have timney triggers at about 1# Savages have the accu xxx set at about a pound except the Lapua. It is set at 2# All rifles have great brakes on them so recoil isn't much of a factor. Except maybe the Lapua. I use several different home made mechanical/adjustable rests. 2x2x1/4" tube filled with lead. Rock solid [/QUOTE]
