[QUOTE="41mag, post: 70720, member: 3804"] The grandson and I slipped out to the back pasture Saturday evening to look around and spotted a pack of hogs on a hillside about 500yds out. We got as close as we could which was still in the 450yd range before we ran out of cover. The rifle is definately not what would be considered long range gear in my book but it reached out and touched the big boar. THe wind combined with the low power scope and fat cross hairs put the hit about 6" to the right of the aim point but it dropped him and allowed and a quick follow up once we closed the distance. This big old boar has been reaking havoc on our place and several of our neighbors places for about three years. I was very happy to finially put him out of our misery.

It is mainly used for back in the woods and river bottoms, however you use what you got when you don't plan ahead. The grandson got off several shots with his new gun also. It didn't do much though since it only goes click, click. LOL Still saving for something special, that will reach out with no doubts. Hint Hint. Later, [/QUOTE]
