Where your targets in the picture,Jeff? Just below the road there? Tim, Well... I have steel plates scattered all over, from 250 yards out to 650 yards. The "main" ridgeline there is right at 650 where it crests. I was just glassing to find rocks or patches of dirt or whatever, and then shooting at them... no real "targets" today. There's enough moisture in the soil that I could see my hits/misses in the dirt. That little notch in the trees in the upper right, is at 850+ yards. I can't figure out a way to call my misses out that far, so I haven't shot at that much. I'm about ready to bribe my daughter with driving lessons in my truck on the logging roads, just to get a spotter for a couple hours! Today, was a great day of shooting. Spent most of prone in the dirt, working on that. I was appreciating the flat stock on the Sendero, as well as the weight. It was the most "still" rifle of the bunch, rested on my pack. My love affair with my 30-06 continues. Right now I'm just rockin' 165-gn Ballistic Tips from it at 2950 or so. I took some weight out of the buttstock a couple weeks ago, and swapped the kludge mounts/ring setup I had for Talleys... it has a Pac-Nor barrel and just flat out shoots. Love it. My .338 only "bit" me once. Guess I didn't have it tucked in just right on my shoulder. I'm sure you can relate, Tim, being a magnum slut yourself! Every now and then, they remind you who's boss... grin...

Gotcha. Sounds like you have a good 'range' going there, Mr. Olson. And yeah, I know what you mean about getting 'bit.'

... by the way, "you can't get there from here" as far as the road in the photo. They have it gated. They've been gating and/or tank-trapping all the new logging roads lately once they are done logging. I was scouting for a new spot to shoot long range today, at a landing where I cut a bunch of firewood this year, and there were pink lines painted across the road... gotta think, that was to show the backhoe guy where to put the tank trap! :-(

I thought the combination was a 12 pack + a 12 gauge?
At least according to the locals . . . . .

I've got tools that open gates with considerably more finesse..
But no need, I have a new card.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

It seems a so called logger has been missing from the forum for some time. Investigating his disappearance it seem he had an accident while falling a tree and his wife banned him from the Internet as punishment. She did catch a video of the incident. http://www.bitoffun.com/video_vault/wrongway-tree.htm

I put the very top of a tree onto my old Nissan once. Trees sure are longer on the ground, than they were up in the air, or so it seems...

Tom, it is a tough job, but being a community organizer in another life, I figured I was up to the task.

Exactly. So, I thought if I was stirring up schit for no reason, I could be compared to Obama... oh, never mind.
