[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 428195, member: 22242"] I have been thinking about it and I am not sure I have a favorite shot. I am also quite fond of my first long range kill last year. I had just put a rapid z 800 on my tikka 2506 and hadnt even shot it past 200 yet. I had a bedded doe antelope at 760 I shot and missed just high. I thought the error was on my part since I was so close and she ran back to 800 so I put the 800 pin on her and missed again just high. so the third shot she ran back up to 760 and I adjusted the power on my scope a little like Zeiss reccomends and POW right in the kisser!... ok well not in the kisser it was behind the front shoulder but it was awesome it was so much fun she had laid down and was bleeding out but her head was still up so I put one in her neck just to do it. Very fun trip. And another time I shot a prarie dog in the throat at 200 yards with my 17 hmr no wind I just held high not that impressive but I had never shot it past 50 yards but I called the shot to my buddy and the whole rest of the trip his 8 year old cody went on and on about how I was a way better shot than his dad. so That was pretty nice haha! One last one I was hunting rabbits with my 870 12 guage and I had a few slugs in my pocket my buddy told me to try to shoot the rabbit that was sitting there about 75 yards away with a slug. I didnt have the slug barrel all I had was the smooth bore barrel. So I said ok ill aim for the middle and see what happens BOOM rabbit chunks. ...
