Title: Re: Observatory A tag
Post by: packman on November 02, 2008, 10:25:04 PM: Yes the scope got me. It is a 340 Weatherby that I bought from a buddy a few years ago when he moved away. I never wanted to go through the pain of siting it in, but decided to try it this year. I had no problem at the range but the scope cover Got me in the field. I shot the Elk on Tuesday morning the 21st. It had snowed a couple of inches Monday and we saw alot more activity Tuesday. After Tuesday the weather turned nice again and the Elk weren't moving as much.
