[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2891082, member: 74603"] Can't remember for sire - may have posted on this - but anyway - I also grew up hunting - in the 50's in the hills of Southern Oregon. - usually in fairly thick timber - so not that many long shots. Forst learned to shoot with a Benjamin pump pellet gun - shooting orange juice can lids - tacked to a fence post. Later was on the rifle team at the AF Academy but again - not long - usually 100 yard targets. Only later when sighting in the trusty ole 30/06 here in SD -- did someone point out a Gong hanging at 300 yards - and somebody on the line had a long range Remington /26" Sendero - - and invited me to shoot it. Hit the Gong the first time and recently pirchased a Tikka T3 Light - in 6.5 Creedmore - and plan to work up to 1,000 yards. [/QUOTE]
