[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 203973, member: 10214"] Found a new spot to shoot yesterday and tested the 243 from 500yds to beyond 700yds. It took to long to find a place to shoot, so I didn't put out any eggs. I did what many arround here do and ranged and shot rocks. The 243 shoots nice and flat and bucks the wind very well, so it was almost too easy. I hit what I was aiming at with every shot including the cold bore (although I shoot at a rock that was around a foot in diamater). These were probably the best conditions I've ever shot in. The smallest rocks I shot at were arround the size of my fist. I changed yardages constantly to really test the scope out. The scope worked with out a flaw and tracked perfectly. After I shoot one rock 588yds away, 5 times in a row, my 6 year old son took a crack and hit it. He didin't like the recoil (although I think it was the "bang" since this rifle doesn't really kick). Here's some pics...
