[QUOTE="Shifty Old Goat, post: 2830536, member: 102531"] Nothing but a stock .308 Win, Model 99 Savage from 1960. 1 in 12, Weaver hunting scope 3x9, I believe V9 no turrets, shooting PMC Bronze 147 Grain off the shelf rounds.18X24inch target with 1" numbers.This was the first time sighting my fathers gun he passed down to me since 1982. I was shooting 3 rounds per set. There is a clover and a 8 as you can see. The top center alone was the first of the set for the 8 and a final adjustment. Then hit the 8 , reloaded 3 rounds and shot the clover. Distance 300 yds, wind~0, Temp 85 plus, Humidity, Georgia summer Hell! Location Ft Moore ( Formally FT Benning )Recreational Shooting Complex. Many Blacktail at 100 - 200 yds with this gun over the years. I would not expect to take a large Elk with this past 500 yds. As for accuracy given the right conditions, I would trust lead on steel to 1000. Understanding the hobbie, what more are we all looking for? Seems like fine performance?
