[QUOTE="theosmithjr, post: 1555492, member: 102164"] I totally agree! A very close friend of mine from MN whom I introduced to Extreme Long Range shooting & Hand-Loading has a son whom is a National Small Bore Champion. He CONSISTENTLY HITS the 10X ring at 1000 yards using an Anshutz .223 STANDING, with NO REST, other than his Shooting Jacket! And this is with METAL APERTURE SIGHTS! 80gr Hand- Loads fellas! His name is Eric Hazelton, and I believe he's 21 or 22 years old! I sold his father his 1st rifle, an Oregon Chipmunk .22, Bolt action, Wood stock, and APERTURE Sights.

He never showed an interest in Shooting, and the rifle reports really offended him, so I sold Chris, Eric's father the once fired rifle for $100.00 back in 2000.
