[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 388814, member: 18377"] Fiftydriver, You build one tuff lookin rifle !! I sure wish I had the $$ to purchase one:) I have heard several chime in and say things like "no way" "impossible" "Miracle" "Luck" and other comments but think of it this way . How many times would you have the local hunters in your home town tell you these very same things if you were to say "I saw a guy that goes by fiftydriver on the internet shoot one heck of a 3 shot group @ 1780 yards" My point is this some of the guys on this very site shoot very very good and I will agree that their is a certain amount of luck with anyone that kills an elk at say 1300 yards or even 1200 yards but do we shout "Luck" "miracle" nope we post encouraging comments about them and in reality it encourages us as well to see them making these shots in a sence it gives the rest of us a goal to shoot for . So did the media hipe it up maybe but I still say chalk one up fore the brave sniper because unlike our targets HIS SHOOT BACK !! We need to be careful not to critisize when someone steps out of the norm . Or we could sound like the ole timey hunters of yesterday with the 06 that thought 250 yards was a long way and you shouldn't shoot at a deer any further because it was not "ethical" . P.S. Good shooting fiftydriver!! BigBuck [/QUOTE]
