Despite rain warnings, I had to get out. Couldn't stand three guns with scopes not zeroed,
so with only light winds for now, it was off to the private range.

A 6 Dasher, two 6x47 Lapuas, and the 338/300 Ultra:

Set the target at 100, and ran a couple through each to get close, and off to 200.

The big gun still impresses.

My meager attempt through the spotter:

I loaded and unloaded all my schitt 7-8 times, with the rain that would come through, them leave for a bit, come back, etc., but finally I set up two gongs, one at 785, the other at 980.

I managed to shoot three at each gong with the 6x47 before calling it quits, as the rain came back again, looking like it was here to stay.

I couldn't get a pic through the scope at the 980 gong to save my ass, so I had to settle for an up close shot:

Nice shootin' aalf.

You should buy a camera adapter thingy for your spotter. As DigitalDan has said, we can always use some more cool schit, to go with our cool schit.

Funny you bring that up, as I was wasting time this AM looking for a cheaper alternative to nee gar rig something up.

Listen to the guy from Montana. We know how to nee gar rig.

I just got the Zeiss to go with my Zeiss and I wish I bought it a long time ago.

I need a Kodak/Swarovski connection that doesn't break the bank.

I haven't got my camera all figured out yet, let alone trying to use my phone.

To show you how much I use my phone, the weather on it was still from the last I used it, and it was showing -2 for a high for the day....

Aalf, dumb question. I assume with those long shots on the gong you just try to center your reticle on the gong itself? I've seen guys paint a dot on center too for a specific aiming point, but looks like you are doing a good job with no bullseye.

Thanks.

I find it's pretty easy to quarter the reticle on the steel, even on 22 power. I prefer the clean slate as well to spot shots, more so when I stretch it out further, and/or when the mirage kicks in.

Cant imagine anything being easy at that range. Nice shooting!
