Diamonds Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nice man. I wish I could've done it. Instaregret. Next time! Or, we can do a range day aside from a comp where I can hold a mini clinic for ya! Hell of a set up. You have committed a lot to honing your skill in shooting in the last three years. Congrats. You know, in 2013 I told myself I'd never own a bolt gun. I just wasn't turned on by "bolt action". Then, Cabelas was having a July 4th weekend sale and varmint-profile R700's were 399.00 so I bought one thinking I would play around with it. I remember the first time I took it to Briar Rabbit my groups were about 3 inches at 100 yards when learning to manage/anticipate the recoil of 308 (vs 556). I also remember feeling intimidated to shoot out to their furthest target (380y). I think that was about the time where I said "this is a niche (LR shooting) I would like to go deeper into and compete". And the rest is history. I'm no expert. I just love shooting long range.

Diamonds Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Got lucky... group at 383 yards (briar Rabbit). Clearly the gun (or a higher power) took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 And then, did this 3 shot group with my 408 at 100 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everlight44 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I'm going to Briar Rabbit on Saturday 6/25 if anyone wants to join. Plan to be there by 930 and shoot until 2 or 230 Edit: apparently range is reserved on Saturday 6-25 for private party... must have updated today. Maybe another Saturday Edited June 21, 2016 by everlight44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
