And Goalie, when are we going to see your target posted!

I'm waiting until I own a digital camera with a wide-angle lens so I can get all the holes into one picture.....



Seriously though, I have a young child and work too much. The only times I was at the range and could have shot in the challenge I figured I would do the right thing and actually sight-in my firearms for deer hunting.

(That's the tactful way of saying I'm old, don't shoot a lot anymore, and fully realize that shooting well is a perishable skill.)

I did shoot this with a fellow board member present while breaking-in the barrel on my Savage .308:

Ah good ol RL15, I went thru 25+ pounds of it last year, I use it for all my 243 and 22-250 loads. Nice shooting, Ive only had one break in trip go that well, and it was with a Savage also.

Great post. Worked perfectly for setting up the scope on my .308. Thanks!

And, as some folks on the OGC 50 yard line learned today, don't mount your scope rotated 90 degrees to the left. Made it hard when they were adjusting the windage knob for elevation and vice versa on their 10/22...

Hey Goalie,

Come to the Oakdale Gun Club on November 19th and shoot your former State Arms Shorty at 200 yards (after you adjust it for me and re-sight it in at that range). Leupold Mark IV 8.5X25X50.
