Griz22 : What were you doing qualifying at FT. Meade ? I had to qualify there with a 2" Model 10 in 1971 , Also very familiar with the Newark place you mentioned. I did 3 months there as a Federal Agent and quit when I couldn't get a transfer ! Hell was a better place IMHO , I returned from Nam 8 months prior and would have preferred returning to staying in Newark.
Any way , I shot a now federally protected bird out of a tree from where it was decimating dozens of fish a day in trout raceways by stabbing them . It was about 200+ yards away and 100 feet up a hillside in Big Sur when my boss asked me to take the critter , in front of Clint Eastwood in 1974 who was his friend on a visit there . I was using an XP100 Remington with an old Bushnell Phantom 2x scope , and Clint said "damn, I thought Dirty Harry used a big pistol" We left the bird in the tree and it's kind seemed to take a hint !
