Grumpily getting into my day...gotta change that quickly now...
I get to shoot several times a year. I have some nice firearms that I’d be loath to part with. I have some friends who like to make noise with me: I’m a pretty normal guy in this crowd.
When I go to the pay-to-play range north of here they have every thing from 5-600yards. Standing I can knock down the 254 9” target with at least 2 of my rifles. From the bags I can stretch that out a bit more. (I save my 338WM and my 375 HH for a friends land and we only go out to 300 and so far I haven’t hit those consistently...).
Now the grumpiest: I hear people talking about long ranging and they say 800-1000 yards!!! Really?! I’m mean serious! Now, if you have the time and money to do that (and land!) great. I’d be the guy to come and watch you. But you’ll never see me pull the trigger on any living thing past 200 yards at this point in my life and unless someone wants to set me up financially I don’t see that ever happening.
Ok, grumpies done. Honestly, I’m really asking. When people buy the rigs are they really (average guy, I’m not saying some of you guys can’t...bully for you!!!) are average guys hitting things consistently with hunting rifles out past 600 yards?
Thanks for listening to my whining!
