Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Need Long range s/a Varmint thumper help

Cool!

Is there a certain speed I should try to keep it under?

FWIW, this test that I conduct may not be entirely scientific due to my poor shooting abilities and possibly being caffeine riddled early in the morning....grin

Nice truck bed test JB.

Any truck bed test should take into consideration the rings and bases and torque specs.

I'd choose the Leupold Dual Dovetails!

Oh and ct,
The equipment I use to check zero after hard use is called a "rifle". You should get one and try to shoot it. Since this is the Long Range Forum, maybe you could then add something of substance after you learn the basics like which end of the cartridge goes into the chamber first.

(It's the pointy end).

No need to thank me for the head start.

Just make sure your head hits the roof of your truck at least five times The times I've done it, POI shift was significant enough that caffeine is of no hindrance.

How about you post some video showing some degree of competence in LR shooting. I will be holding my breath.

As for running from POI shift, surely you jest. Both Rick and I depend on POI shift.

Speaking of video here is an example of how those silly Leupolds will shift POI when you start twisting the dials. Ignore the GBP stuff.

Nothing personal. I always try to help novice shooters.

I'm available for lessons.

My POI Tester. Imagine once I develop past novice stage. BTW, all are 5 shot groups fired from the Harris bipod.

Tanner,

Tip of the Day, for what it is worth a V8 will will help dampen the 2 Rockstar shakes. Supposed to be good for you also. Who knew??

John, what does long range shooting ability and tracking have to do with a scopes ability to hold zero when beat and bumped around?

My Ford has a V8.... does that count? I don't do the whole vegetable drink thing....grin

Good! You've differentiated the pointy end of the cartridge from the flat end.

Free Lesson #2:

Although 100 yards is considered "long range" or even "ELR" in Alabama, and the .308 is considered "newfangled", there's still much for you to learn.

Take notes.

Also, what kind of hypocrite tells everyone how much Leupolds suck the entire thread, then Brags about how well it works on his Alabama Long Range Laser?

Err Umm well just about everything. Was that a serious question???



Dude, CT,

Your braggin gun has a Leupold stuck on top. Are you sure you are really arguing the right side in this here Bruha???

Must admit I am a bit perplexed. Although I will say that optic is mounted to far back for "Real Shootin".



WHAT????? Did CTSmith just get caught in a little of the ol playin both sides of the fence. Say it isn't so.

No.

Don�t drink it because it tastes good but because it will make you shoot better than Lil Fish in his bestest dreams. Maybe.

Although I'm not of the "texting generation", ROTFLMAO!

John, it would be absurd for me to make claims regarding Lueps if i did not have experience with them, would it not? How else would i know a joy ride in the back of a truck will give it a fit? You are grasping.

And as i have said before, I, and most anyone else with walking around sense, take your opinion of them as that of a salesman, with a grain of salt.

Nice deletion of your last post! LOL

ct,

You'll probably have to stand by for an answer to your hastily deleted post and the one above (or whatever else you might change it to) until later...

John and I are laughing waaaay too hard to do it now!

LOL!

A bolt, bang your scope around and get back to me. Scared?

And from what I can tell, you better hang on to john, cause the salesman is all you got.

Tanner aint scared! ("Skeered" if you are a Bama redneck)

Absurd does not even begin to address the level of LDS (Leupold Derangement Syndrome) shown by some in this thread. Count yourself firmly in the LDS category.

I honestly could not even begin to guess WTF you are yapping about concerning a joy ride in the back of a truck.

Anyone who does not take my �opinon� with at least 2 grains of salt is a complete moron because this is just the silly internet and anybody can say anything.

Although it does seem few can post a pict of a nice bull elk taken at 1102 yds. I do know my optic took a nice 20 mile joy ride on a mule everyday for 4 days before I had to make that shot. Twice.



That does seem to weed some �internet opinions� out, don�t ya think.

Hang us a picture of a nice LR kill, just for entertainment purposes.
