A practical 300yd hunting zero results in 14MOA to make 1000yds, where it still making 2400+fps with only 2.5MOA of drift in a 10mph wind. Time of flight to that range is under 1.1 seconds. Now with even more aplomb

Probably have to replace the red recoil pad, huh? I think your rifle is superb. You guys are making me want to put together a 30-in. or longer bangstick. �When in doubt, I whip it out.� Uncle Ted
