Does making the shot mean it's ok?

I dunno' Billy... I might not agree 100% with the extreme LRH guys, but in my mind, there are far more worthy causes to take to task. How about the Humane Society lobbying for shutting down wolf-hunting? Don't you think there are better fish to fry? Alan obviously puts his time in far more than 99.9% of people out there...
Personally, I'd rather get my blood boiling over some city-slicking salad eater telling us what we can and cannot hunt.

PG,
To me, what it boils down to a personal decision. I put in the hours at the reloading bench and with trigger time. I shoot about 40-45 Saturday's a year and a few extra weekday mornings each week through the summer when I don't have to get a 16 yr up and off to school and even then, a few more mornings once he's on the bus. I know what my rifle/load will do and I know I will hit my mark. If I feel I can't I won't take the shot. The fact that I was flabbergasted was the remark I made because I knew it was going to hit the mark. What I didn't expect was that the "mark" moved in closer without me knowing about. It's called "hunting" not "shooting".
Where do you get off implying my ethics are less than yours? You're not anything to me. I stand by what I did and I surely stand by my comment about you taking snide remarks at not just my OP but about 90% of your comments on other sections of this website (just looking at the first page of your posts) are negative in nature. As I said, it's a personal decision accompanied by one's abilities.
Alan

Time to ignore the dude.
The rifle in the shooting range picture isn't the rifle you were using, was it? Some of us would like to hear a bit more about its stats and see a pic if you have one.
Also good to know that the Matrix will smoke elk at a Grand!

Alan Have fun with your rodeo. It's coming. P.S. I could really give two schits what some wannabe sniper on the internet thinks about me. Peace Out.

Rick, Sorry, I had to run out and get some groceries. With a wife on dialysis, I do it ALL! Here is my light (9 lb) 6.5x47. The heavy one in the earlier pic with the mountain in the background is my heavy, 17.5 lb 6.5x47. Pierce SA and 20 moa rail McMillan Rem Sporter 24.5" #3 Broughton with a 2-port Farrell brake Rifle Basix @ 2 lb. Farrell 30mm rings Latest NF NXS compact 2.5-10x42 with MOAR reticle and zero stop. PTG BDL bottom metal Pillar and glass bedded Built by Chris Matthews of Longshot rifles, Missouri. Now out of business. Wonderful 'smith, horrible businessman. I found him on Accurateshooter.com as a benchmark gunsmith. Sorry for the poor pic. Just now took it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/GSSP/Pierce%2065x47%20Lapua/20141021_201549_zpsk6uxyqzx.jpg)

None the question was why would you take the shot. The answer is the subject line no objection at all. Wanted that to be clear is all

9 pounds is just right.
I have problems putting 20 MOA rails on my hunting guns. Can't ever get a comb that's high enough to give me a good cheek weld with sight picture. I see you have a rifle backpack on your comb. I even have to do that without the rail on some of my rifles with the scope as low as possible. I always use a 40mm objective to help get it as low as possible.
I hate that

As I understand it, Fred doesn't have a dog in this fight. He was just giving an approval which I thank him and all the rest of the support which has occurred.

Actually the rifle I built on the Manners EH-1 is working well in that department. No rail but no backpack either.

I have a Manners 1A folder in bound between T-day and Xmas. It will have the Elite Tactical Shell in Elite Tactical GAP camo. Should be able to drop 2-3 lbs off the AICS 2.0 I'm currently running on my 338 Edge on a Surgeon 1086 LA.

GSSP, I enjoyed your post. Very, very interesting. Can you tell us more about your rifle (barrel, length, contour, stock, weight, etc.).
Thanks,
Jordan

And cook and clean, and shop and pay bills and work, and take care of the sick wife and raise the 16 yr old son and, oh yeah, SHOOT!!! Wait, vacuming is my son's chore.
