[QUOTE="liltank, post: 353256, member: 13275"] 2 summers ago was the first time that I had ever tried hitting a target past 100yrds with a rifle. Up until that point it had only been steel plates at various distances to 200yrds. I tried plugging some groundhogs all that summer with no success. My greatest hit was up the butt of a Fox Squirrel at 200yrds. That was my only success at that distance that summer. Last summer I had only two hits. One at 630 yards (bullet skipped off the ground through the vitals) and 605 yards through the head. I just got lucky that day. The rest of the summer again were misses. I did come to find out however that some of it was the rifle. My barrel had gone south and was giving me all kind of accuracy issues with temp change. So, now I am back to square one with a rifle that needs a new barrel and an owner that needs the money to do it. Luckily I have a backup .308 that works pretty good. I have that one squared away to 700yrds right now. Don't give up, and keep on shoot'in. Tank [/QUOTE]
