Congratulations , what an achievement . Hell I can't even see that far anymore

Don't feel bad. I can't see that well either. I had a stroke in my right eye a year ago, which blurred my central vision pretty bad. I have to get monthly eye injections. They really don't help much as far as improving my vision, but it keeps it from getting worse. Luckily I shoot left handed and it didn't affect my shooting, but my left eye is pretty bad. I have a -4.50 rx. Lol

My wife bought me a Long range course for my birthday in March and yesterday was the class with Adam at North East Texas Tactical in Terrell, TX. I really never shot passed 500yds before, so I was pretty excited. I was also nervous because I did not know how my rifle, reloads and myself would perform passed 500yds.
We had class in the morning going over the basic concepts for shooting at LR and how to use the Applied Ballistics App. Around lunch we broke out our rifles, to go over them and our setup.
We began shooting at 100 to make sure our rifles were zeroed. We then jumped to 300 and started making our way down range out to 1500yds in 100yd increments. I had 1st round hits to 900. All center mass. I missed the 1000yd target but made the adjustment for another center mass hit on the second round. 1100-1400 were first round hits. 1500 I missed left, made the adjustment and hit it on the second round.
Then it was on to the mile target. The app called for 67.5 moa of elevation and 4.5 moa of windage. I ran out of elevation on my turret. It only went to 50moa, so I made up the difference by using my reticle. It was a little difficult for me, since I had to aim in the blank quadrant of the reticle. It took my 3 tries before I connected on the 4th. Needless to say I was pretty stoked! Felt good knowing that my equipment, reloads and myself were capable of accomplishing this. Sorry for the long post, but I am still excited about it.

Do you have any MOA in the scope mount or base/rail?

Love those Grey laminate stocks. Don't have one in my collection, but have drooled over them for years.

Do you have any MOA in the scope mount or base/rail?

It's a 20moa base

 

[getsmart]

I like the way you progressed in yardage, I have not shot out past 800. I can't quite imagine a mile. Thanks for sharing.
