[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 166986, member: 4683"] quote from shawn - "At a given distance every shooter / gun combo with get to a point where 1st round hits are pure assed luck. Varmint hunting is a little different but I still am mostly interested only in what I can do on round # 1." --------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd say 99% of the people here would agree with that. For me the first shot is the only shot ,i can only dope the wind REALLY well to 500yds w/a 25-06 -on a coyote size target.Doesn't sound like much but i'm proud of it ,1,000yds w/my small mid-size guns isn't realistic to me. I remember seeing the rifle the guy shot a praire-dog w/ at 3200 yds ,the rings were 5-6 inchs up off the reciever and had a dial system unlike anything i've ever seen. To a person w/any REAL knowledge of longrange shooting -if the editor had stated even half the distance/range = 1,500 yards = the article would have been just as ridiculous. I think the editor/gunsmith deserves to be called out on this one -in a polite way of coarse .... [/QUOTE]
