Deer Stuff

[Fireball]

I have a 6'-0" span and I'm 5'-9". I'm only shooting a .22, so not worried about the shoulder. I bought a butt pad that slipped over the stock, but it was too goofy-looking so I took it off. It's a carbine, but deadly accurate. I can get slugs through the paper in almost the same hole in a given set of bulls on one sheet. Admittedly, that's only at 50 feet, but that's about 1.26 MoA if they punch through side by side.

1. I had a Remington bolt action that our adopted " grandpa" - a German machinist immigrant built for 200 meter trench shooting. ( my brother in law now owns it) They shot in 2 meter deep, 200 meter long trenches to reduce windage. This guy could bench a three shot group under a dime at 200 meters. 
   

His custom scope use spider web for the reticle. You had to train your eye, just to see the cross hairs. 

And he did it in the 1950' s.....

Good is, as good gets. Ya just gotta be able to do it.

That's some mighty fine shooting. I'm still working on my marksmanship. I still twitch more than I like. I used to be able to cover 5 shots with a dime from a bolt-action .22 with open sights, but only at 50 feet. This was a rifle at a Boy Scout camp in '95, with a wallowed-out bore. Now I'm 20+ years older and I hadn't shot in over five years when I started in again last year. All this is bench rest, btw. My rifle is also semi-auto, so there is a small handicap to accuracy because of that, I'm told. I should have been patient and ordered the bolt action version.
