I guess every rifle you own came with a scope attached???

That picture was taken right after I got the rifle back from Krieger, just before elk season in 2009. Put the bipod on for the pic. It now sports a Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14xAO with Ballistic Plex reticle.

Clays at 600 aren't easy but with a good rifle and a cooperating wind, they aren't that hard, either. Just before the 2010 elk season I checked out the two rifles I as taking, a .300WM and .30-06, taking a total of 5 shots at 600-yard pigeons. Got one hit with each. Daughter #3 had never shot at 600 yards as far as I know or recall but last time we were at the range (Christmas give or take a couple days) she fell in love with that rifle. She missed the 600-yard pigeons on all 5 of the shots she took, but three were just under and two were just above - all easily in what looked to be an 8" group. Had I zeroed one of the cross-hatches in the scope at 600, instead of making her interpolate between them, I think she would have gotten hits.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
