I built 4 rifles in September: Deviant Defiance 7mmSTW Mauser 6.5-06 Mosin 25 Krag Ackley Rem700 250 Sav
In October: I drove 900 miles I sighted the rifles in with bipods shooting prone at 50 yards, 100 yards, and 200 yards. I sighted them in until they hit the 1/2" red dot at 200 yards on a windless day.
Then I shot 3 deer: Two were freehand at 100 yards. One was off a steel fence post at 220 yards.
I was ready to crank knobs... but it did not happen.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
