interesting picture (s)...

so during the summer I like to go out to my personal rifle / pistol range, on Saturday or Sunday mornings, when the weather is nice, & it's not too hot, with a big glass of iced tea, & sit down for some casual, relaxing bench shooting, off some sand bags

this is a target I scanned a while back, that I ran across this morning, & got it converted into a regular digital picture

some things didn't convert as well as I had hoped from PDF... but there are 3, out of 3 shots into the red circle... thinking it was about 1/2" group ( black dot on this target is 2" )... this target was a regular 8.5" X 11" piece of paper...



The Shooting range... 300 yards is the back stop ( grey looking rectangle ) all the way down...



17 Fireball is top rifle on the left side... a custom Remington 700 ( was a factory 17 Remington with a shot out barrel... now wears a stainless Shilen match 17 caliber blank fit to the gun & factory stock... rifle wears a 4-16 Burris with their wind reticle set up for 17 Fireball

BTW... I'm not some crack shot sniper... I do this 10-20 times during each summer, usually with 2-3 rifles each day... this target was exceptional... sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...

With that much wind, I'de say that was an AWESOME group with a 17 Fireball !!!

[magnumwheelman]

was quartering, so not as much influence as a full cross wind... but it was fluctuating, so I was taking my time with the shots... & probably much luck, as I don't normally do that well with any of the heavier calibers...

I always wanted to try some longer distances ( 600 plus ) with the smaller calibers... but I'm sure it would become more frustrating than fun

What's the bottom right rifle.? Looks like a model 70 with a BOSS on it ?
