This was really about some guys getting together and doing some long range shooting and that's what we did. There was no competition. No one put down anyone elses gear. No one was trying to force or pimp their gear out on anyone else. We all learned a lot, shot a lot, and had fun.

Sounds like it was a fun time!

I took a woman out deer hunting a couple of years ago. She had shot two rounds TOTAL through a high powered rifle before the season to get a feel for the trigger. She is not a shooter at all, but knows how to squeeze the trigger.

I found her a nice 4x4 mule deer buck at 535 yards. I sat her butt down over shooting sticks, dialed the nobs to 535 yards and told her to kill it. Perfect shot, 7mm-08, 120 grain bullet went through both shoulder and exited. Buck dropped and was dead. She did not need all that fancy computer calculation crap you talk about. Dial it and kill it. It really is that easy. laugh I have done it more times than I can count.

Two weeks later, I took another non shooter deer hunting. He hasn't shot any high power rifles, but again, had great trigger control. I found him a buck at 481 yards. I laid him down prone, dialed the nobs, a couple of clicks for wind, range 481, and told him to hit the switch. Perfect shot, dead deer, .25-284 100 grain Barnes XLC.

No, I don't shoot animals at 1,000 yards, nor do I shoot Bench Rest. 700 yards is my personal limit on game. Range, dial, squeeze, punch a tag. You make is sound WAY more complicated than it is. Flinch

Thanks to all for the nice posts.

Rost495,

Jeff you really seem to have a hard on for me and my rifles and pricing.

How about you and I get together and you take that silly attempt at a long range hunting setup you have been working on for a year (Douglas Barrel set up for 180gr VLDs) and have us a little shoot??

You have struggled with making 180gr VLDs shoot for one hell of a long time and at some point you need to quit running your mouth and my stuff down when you have been totally unable to set a simple 7MM up for long range hunting.

You seem to have no ability to actually set up a long range rig and I for one am really sick and tired of you acting the pro with absolutely no qualification.

Put up or shut your yap buddy!!!

Times are changing and it seems like you meet more and more guys that can't live by their word or their word means chit because they don't do what they say. It's too bad, but it happens more now than it ever has. I'd also like to say kudos to John for showing up and making the best of it. Sounds like you guys had a blast. Too bad I live so far away!!!!!!!

I think since the internet came out when writing checks your ass can't cover jumped exponentially.

Burns,

Gotta tip my hat to you...good shooting.

I admire people who can back up the talk.

Not sure I am ready to drop 6 large on one of your rigs, but at least they shoot....

Down side? Making folks think they can drop 6K or more and be an overnight shooter. If someone dials the dope in like on the shows, and says shoot, it really only takes a decent shot to make a good shot. Its learning what the dope should be, that will cost you way more than 6K over the years, and it won't be 6K of rifle that makes the arrow fly straight.



You certainly seem to turn into a damned peacock on a multitude of topics. You may know, have seen and done a few things, so given your background, you don't even come close to representing the majority of the shooting public.

You're a consumer and you have the right to buy or not to buy. So don't buy one of his packages but quit [bleep] harassing the dude on how he earns his living.

you wont see me spending $6,000 on a rifle like what John builds.....but thats mainly cause if i had $6,000 to blow you would find my arse on a plane heading to Australia to whack and stack critters with what i have.....

if he is selling rifles for $6,000 it means he has buyers to keep him busy at $6,000.....if i could figure out how to sell ad space in my papers for $50 a column inch i would do it in a heartbeat to hell what anyone thinks bout value for the money.....its a business, you tend to price chit at a price that keeps you in enough customers to live how you want to live...or as close to that mark as possible....
