Sometimes I am capable of pulling off the long shot....... Sadly, sometimes I am also capable of completely muffing the gimme shot......

I've never had a 22-250 I felt I could do that with. For the CVCA tournaments I switched to the 6mm Rem and busted a few out around 500. Felt like I had won the lotto on the first one.

Good job - now get a camera and show us some pics. Love seeing winter coyotes in red snow.

Post by: Naches Sportsman on February 25, 2012, 02:13:14 PM: Good shootin :tup:. I shot one recently at 530 yards with my .204. he went poof :chuckle:. It was a little uncomfortable to shoot that far but it felt good. Prarie dog shootin is another topic. Shot one once at over 650 yds :yike: rolled about 5 times :chuckle:.
