We have had informal no rangefinder matches at unknown distances....but you get to use ranging reticules and know the target sizes. That would be a crazy match with with no ranging reticules....kinda like ready set guess. Although, if you got a spotting shot it could be interesting. 1500 meters unranged.... thats interesting. Would have to be done with a scope with nothing but a straight crosshair in it, no other way to cheat ranging by mil type sizing.
Beyond that, its not realistic at all, no sane long range shooter would attempt a long shot without checking the range.
I'd love to play this, I'm out though, not in the cards of my life right now plus I'm so rusty I suck shooting wise lately. Missed a doe head due to a screw up on my wind guess the other week, measly 252 yards. Had the wind right... but then looked it over hard and decided that the ridge and trees blocked a fair amount of it... I was wrong, it was my first calc at full value... of couse the second berger put the brain on the ground and then she fell.

Not to get into a pissing match with you Jim but the info in your profile is sorely lacking. Scott F AKA Robert Fairing Compass Rose Farms 1463 West Uncas Rd Discovery Bay, WA 41 0 58.21 N 122 0 53' 29.73� W 360-301-9301 compassrosefarms gmail.com I am not ashamed of who I am. I have to say I had some real nice phone calls after I posted this today. Four guys I have never talked to before. It was fun.

One small area of advantage the bedding blocks hold over a straight synthetic is the aluminum block below the action will counter act the thermal expansion of the aluminum scope above the action.
Aluminum linear thermal expansion is 2 � times more than the ferritic stainless steel commonly used in rifle actions. This will have an effect on your zero over a relatively large change in temp.
I knew there was a reason I liked that old steel tube Weaver!

Sometimes I come online here and see a certain thread and am reminded of a guy I saw once. 115v appliance connected to 220v, admire the smoke for a moment and find something else to do. Classic!

Wow 12 years ago? And now a question about a sarcastic response? The answer is yes, the Weaver name is still being used as a marketing tool for sport optics. https://www.weaveroptics.com/optics/

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I don't know how Johnny can get a cheek to stock weld on a rifle anymore from the most recent pic of him on here anyways. So the whole thing is kinda moot anyways. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤔🤣🤣🤣

If you are not one of his clients, it does not affect you......so why are you even interested in what he is doing? Capitalism at work. I would like to see those 2 square off at 500 yards. May the best shot win. kwg
