[QUOTE="treyboy7, post: 2614808, member: 124422"] Hey y’all! New guy here also pretty new to long range hunting. Where I hunt in LA the furthest shot I have is about 120 yards🤣. Last year I went on a trip to wide open Nebraska with some buddies, needless to say I felt out of place. I did end up taking 2 nice bucks the first happened to be only 40 yards but got lucky on the 2nd, missed him at 375 but he came back out a few minutes later at, you guessed it, 120. That’s about the furthest I’ve ever killed and I’ve taken plenty of deer and hogs in my life, gun and bow. We decided to make the Nebraska trip an annual thing so I guess I need to learn how to shoot far in case I don’t get so lucky again. So here I am lol. The only gun I have for longer ranges is a rebuilt Mauser in 7mm08, 1:10 24” barrel. Handed down from my dad, he traded a 50$ guitar amp for it back in the 70s. Pretty sweet little gun, if it could talk I’d love to hear the stories. Under the scope mount is a German swastika I don’t know if it was used in service or not but that would be pretty cool if it was taken from a German by an ally soldier. Anyways, I digress, pleasure to meet you all hopefully I can learn from others on here with more experience! [/QUOTE]
