A co-worker was praising a young Airman of 22 y/o in our squadron for apparently making a good shot at a whitetail last year at 307 yards. I simply said he just got lucky. The kid was shooting a factory Remington 770 in .270 with 3-9x40 scope (not sure of brand) and factory .150gr Hornady SSTs.
Then my co-worker claims he can shoot at that range off hand all day. He shoots a Ruger M77 MKII in .280 but was accurized and AI'd by WPA, topped with Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 BDC. Ammo was factory Nosler .140 NABs. I then raised the BS flag. .
(Never stand when you can kneel, never kneel when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down.)
How many of you guys can make the shot all day long?
