[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 819182, member: 35183"] This is last Friday out on the sheep farm where I hunt [IMG]http://www.fotoshack.us/fotos/73154Farm1%20June%202013.jpg[/IMG] Standing with my back to the 300 yard steel target looking back to the shooting position. Its on the crest of the hill to the right of the barn. [IMG]http://www.fotoshack.us/fotos/85690Farm2%20June%202013.jpg[/IMG] I'm doing load development on 185 Bergers and 175 SMK's. The slightly bigger craters are them. The smaller ones are 95gr VLD's from my 243 AI. That is just over a 2" group at 300 yards and I had an awful shooting position due to the high grass and using a sitting bipod with the rear of the stock on my rolled up shooting mat. No way I could get a decent cheek weld with that setup. And I am now getting rid of my Rifle Basix trigger and going back to an accutrigger. Bottom line, it took hardly 15 minutes to get sighted in at 160 yards and then dial up and shoot a 2" group at 300. I have to clear some brush before I will be able to get in a 450 yards shot and wind will become a bigger factor. I regard the 4-16 or 6-24 as great general purpose scopes. I personally would not want to be in the field with a fixed optic (except a low power one) if I could help it. [/QUOTE]
