Pick a date and I'm in.  I'm very flexible.  Some weekend and if it's not pouring buckets, I'm good to go!

Cool. 7mm has promised to show a great spot to shoot as well as hunt boars and huge bucks.

Hey now, lets not blow this spot out of proportion. Last thing we need is a new C-Post.

I'll be de-scoping (right term?) my rifles this week and sending 2 scopes to Leupold for refurbishing and getting 2 new ones ordered. I may be out of the shooting game for a month and a half or more. That said i'm happy to go out and tromp around for a while and hopefully try out some new binos and spotter (after Christmas).
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Hoping to have a new 22-250 to play with by about that time. We'll see how that goes over with the Mrs. She's surprisingly supportive of all the new hunting equipment I'm investing in.

Wonder what she's up to...

Wives and long range.....you hear something,  look around, then 2 seconds later blammo you are down for the count, holding her purse while she compares shades of lipstick all the while holding in the beer you snuck at wild wings because she makes you sit to pee!


Sorry....may have been projecting there.

I'm not even sure what just happened there, but it sounds unbelievably familiar....

Was this at the Target in Smokey Point? I may have seen you there.

As a mod I read a lot of posts.....some...yeah you cryder....you just cant shake and they stay with you. Enough now, back on topic.

What I want to plan is say 5 or less shooters, hike in, and shoot from field positions like you would hunting. Targets could be milk jugs or whatever we can place and pack back out. One target for the challenge would be a paper deer target at a distance of say 4 or 500 and we each get one shot to show how bad of shooters we are. Bring your pack, dope card, ammo, and gear.

For sure as long as the area isnt under any restrictions related to fire risk. Ideally we could set long range targets for any weapon. Shoot a .22, muzzy, .17, heck....pack a bow if you want to lob an arrow at 200!

I did my lazy speed read through the thread and saw some load data. Is there a thread that has actual rifle build data? I'm pretty much committed to what I am building but it isn't put together yet so there is always room for change. Any threads containing rifle builds themselves? Thanks, hope to be posting some LR vids in the near future.

Would be a good morning for a COLD bore  :chuckle:
