[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2114572, member: 15527"] To date, my success rate is 100%... Like I said in my first post, if conditions are not perfect, I do not touch the trigger... I hunt within a 60 mile radius of Vinita. The places I shoot deer are at the edge of tree lines or fence lines, where I have been given permission to shoot. When cattlemen move one herd to a new pasture, they will call me and give a three day pass on their land for shooting deer or coyote and I have no less than six areas like this. I set up at point "A", range out to point "B", make my scope adjustments and wait for a shot. No, it's not this cut and dried. There is a lot of work and planning in setting up a place to shoot long range... Before moving back here from Mississippi, the guys I built rifles for trained to shoot, regardless of deer or horn size, we would NEVER shoot a deer inside the 600 yd. mark and shoot from 600-1,200 yds.. Next time I get on the computer, I'll detail out how we had our places fixed, where we would shoot deer... Calibers - 300 Weatherby Magnum / 180 gr. Hornady A-MAX... 7mm STW / Sierra 160 gr. B. T. Spitzer... 300 Jr. / Hornady 168 gr. A-MAX... 6mm-284 / Sierra 100 gr. B. T. Spitzer... All barrels 30" long or longer... Barrel diameter 1.250" to 1.450"... All guns built around blue-printed Remington 700 actions, set up as single shots... All stocks were McMillan Tooley MBR - factory weighted to 10 lbs... Jewell triggers - 6 oz... Scope bases with 20-40 moa taper... Scopes - high magnifications from 45X to 60x... I am building two "long-range" rifles now, and will post pictures of them, once I have all the work on them completed.... DAVID [/QUOTE]
