Nice 1000yrd group. Looks like my groups at 200-300yrds.

DARN, didn't show the rifle, or said how much it weighed.

 

[federalfarmer]

Umm I'm in awe. That's a day at the range to remember!

 

[Eb1]

Good for him! I would be proud.

 

[juk]

Maybe it had one of those lilja water-cooler barrels? That is a heck of a feat though.

 

[Cohibra45]

I bet a 6.5 Grendel would beat it!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't say what rifle ?. I like that the shooter Ken Brucklacher has grey hair and wears glasses.Not some young upstart

I saw some guys from that club kill a deer in Colorado at 916 yards with a 30-378. They were camped near us and a great bunch of guys to talk guns with. This was 1982 +/-.

The bad thing about long range deer hunting is the walk across the canyon to get the deer once it is shot.

I saw this on another THR thread a few weeks ago...maybe a search would bring it up....if its the same it was a water cooled an firmly mounted, there were pictures of it on the thread.

post 9 shows the gun

That's cool, I guess, but IMO it kinda takes the fun out of it when the tool is SO specialized that it has no other function/usefulness. In much the same way that I find it more impressive for a guy to run low 10's in the quarter with a car he DROVE to the track than a 6 second alcohol dragster, I have more respect for someone who can drill a 5 gallon bucket at 1k with a sporting rifle than someone who can put all the bullets in a softball at the same range, but uses a tool that barely even resembles a rifle.

To each his own, but I believe that it should be more about the skill of the user than the tool used. This conglomeration almost removes the human element.

Given that it is bolted down the way that it is, I would not have a lot to say about the shooter as much as I would about the gun and ammo. Impressive gun. So they found a way to take a really accurate gun and totally hard mount it in an adjustable manner.

If you are talking about the gun on the link i gave (not the gun the OP referred to) it is not bolted down. Those screws are adjustable feet, bolting guns down is not only counter productive, but it is against BR rules.

This conglomeration almost removes the human element.

that's the point...

that form of Benchrest is all about getting the most out of/prefecting the equipment and the ammo components used. so the guns used are meant to remove as much of the human factor as possible so the shooter can focus on tuning the mechanical/technical aspects of his rig/ammo.

It's not for everybody (Def. not for me) but as has been said, to each their own.
