Shooter is the guy in the middle. 34 years applying, finally drew. I was honored to be invited to help, and to do the handloading and rifle set up prior to the hunt.

155 Scenar, CCI 200, 59/H4350, 3.340" OAL (.010" off the lands), 2965 FPS, 3/4 MOA.
He was zeroed for 250 yards. Range was dead on 400 yards. He dialed 3.5 MOA on the new Leupold VX3HD I had mounted for him (bedded the bases, then lapped and bedded the Talley rings), and the rest is history!

1950 vintage M70, and I had bedded the action and discreetly free floated the barrel, forend screw removed.
