[QUOTE="Hntbambi, post: 453390, member: 12797"] The shot was not far at all. It was just under 200 yards. Wind was calm. Why the switch? The area I have been hunting is sand dunes. I cut a track and start following it. Last week, my hunt went just over 5 miles. Carrying the Lapua that far gets old real quick. I also may have a very close encounter with them, like my first sighting (20 yards). The Lapua was not the best gun for a running shot at close range. I carried the Lapua until this week. My Wby is my custom built gun, shoots sub MOA even with factory ammo, handles like a dream. And, most importantly, I have a lot of confidence with it. This is the last few days of the hunt. It's crunch time and I grabbed old faithful. I have had oryx on a coupe occasions, and it is very good eating. I will find out tonight how this one tastes. :D [/QUOTE]
