[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 328302, member: 7194"] Boss Hoss, all of the guys pulling the trigger were up to the task. There was no question in my mind where the bullet was going. It would be very egotistical of me to think that I am the only person who can make the shots taken on this trip, especially when everyone had already made further hits with the rifle. The shooters had no conditions to deal with, just align and squeeze. My 11 year old nephew could have made every shot taken back when he was 9. How about we just let it go. I am not into internet drama and would be just as happy if this entire thread was deleted. I posted the original post only because of how great Kirby's 338AM build performed. That was mostly to inform people who helped me before I left that it was indeed a scope problem and not a gun problem and everything was sorted out. I had problems late one afternoon about 3 days before departing where the gun was double grouping. I was worried that it was not a scope problem mostly because of Nightforce's reputation. I asked for other posibilities for the double grouping. I got good information from well intended helpful posters. Turns out it was the scope as suspected. There were no great feats of markmanship, no trophies taken, just everyday mundane meat hunting, I would not do anything differently. Sorry if you disagree, but those are the breaks. [/QUOTE]
