We've all done different types of shooting, with different equipment, at different types of targets, in a variety of different environments.
With all of that said, what is YOUR most memorable rifle shot? What was the "best" shot you ever took? Luck or skill, it doesn't really matter for this thread… just your opinion on one or more of your "best" shots.
I'll start with three of my shots that I can think of:
1) A prairie dog at over 700 yards with my Tikka (.308 Win). I believe the exact distance was 717 yards. It was real tough to get a good range on that little bugger.
2) A first round cold bore / cold shooter hit at 1,000 yards on my first time shooting at that distance.
3) A match shot I had to take at 875 yards. Time was running out for the stage, and my bipod wasn't long enough to get the elevation for this last target, high on a hill. I quickly threw the bipod (extended) on top of my backpack and lobbed a hail-mary shot at this target, in winds sufficient enough to require more than a 2 MIL windage hold. Hit the target dead center. (Luck)
