Not your everyday long rang rig - NULA Edition #11128343 04/18/16

A SS 3-9x42 got the call, as did the 130 Berger and H4350. Sorry for the pic quality. All the shooting was at last light and pics with an Iphone are tough in the dark. It looks promising at 100 yards, with dang good velocity (2910 fps), and no pressure signs to boot.

Failing light ended yesterday on the 100 yard group so I had intentions of stretching it out this afternoon. Of course I got hung up at work but rushed home in time to let five fly at 400 just before dark. I wish the pics were better, but you get the point. Yes, thats 5 shots at 400. Dang that 3 o'clock flier. Next up will be 1000 yards and dope confirmation, maybe this weekend.

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

I am curious how do you like the SS.3x9 compared to the Nightforce on your Strata 243? Originally Posted by Judman PS, if you think Trump is “good” you’re way stupider than I thought!
