Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting How far can 6x take you?

I know it aint cool on the 24hr, but I prefer a 14-18x when I actually want to hit what i'm shooting at beyond 500..not just pulling dust around a rock and calling it a hit, but actually hitting it.

You said it.

I just get your drift. Maybe???

Whatever Burns is doing obviously gets it done, don't it?

Yeah. I've never really shot that much in my life.

...but most of my trophies don't grill up as well as John's... LOL!

You rebel, you!

LOL

You're one trigger pullin' SOB:)

You kids that don't know what FITASC is just consider it LONG RANGE Sporting Clays.

Busting crossers at 80yds is just a taste. Do it again and again. If you don't have a few Suburbans of lead on the bird then you ain't donin it right is sort of the motto.

Rick might be bustin a few balls for fun but a smart guy would listen to what he says. Might be fun to bust balls right back but still listen.

Spray tan and crest white strips aside, that last bull is a beaut. Flattering camera angle,but still a hell of a bull,congrats.

What's the point? Anyone can tan!

Damm rosco - you beat me toooooit!

Great pictures JB! That's what this thread needs more of!

Here's my contribution....

In the deep freeze. Yours?

You're just mad 'cause there's no tanning beds and men's hair salons up there and your pics didn't turn out.....

for 20 years, used to shoot 1000 rounds of 12 gauge every Saturday and Sunday during the season in practice.

I'm sure I shot more in a weekend than most here do in their lifetime, and at least as much as Weak Stick pretends to do in a fuggen year

...and it's just a hobby. Imagine if I actually took it seriously

Your best attribute is your humility. Wouldn't you agree?

Hilarious..... Rick gets challenged about how much he shoots, so he throws up a few credentials.... and now he's conceded?

Burns throws up pictures of dead schitt, and offers some sage advice..... and all anybody wants to talk about is his Mike Shannahan tan.

Hint....

I've shot with Rick..... the dude can shoot.... he won the SRM by a wide margin when I was there in May, in horrible conditions. We'll be hunting Aoudad in about 6-weeks down in TX.... I'll try to film him clobbering one at LR..... just for all you haters.

I've shot with Burns.... the dude can shoot, and is not nearly as tan in person. I have more respect for John and the advice he's given me over the past 10 years... than anyone who posts on this board.

Ya'll are fhugkin with the wrong guys if hitting schitt at LR is the discussion. Anyone who owns two course records at the SRM can run a rifle pretty f'n well., and hit small stuff at extended ranges. Burns has more LR kills on film than any 5 of the rest of you combined.... and has been doing that for 15 years.

I disagree with some of their optics and rifle choices.... but I certainly can't disagree with the LR shooting philosophies they adhere to. Credentials can excuse a great deal of hubris, and those two have credentials.

If you haven't shot with them.... then you don't have any clue who you're talking schitt about. As a wise OompAlasksn once said "take notes, and apply same".

I don't have a problem with Burns' tan.

But that forehead is fugging ridiculous.

Having respect for someone's accomplishments doesn't mean you can't disagree with some of their opinions, or recognize personality traits like narcissism.

Additionally, have you shot with everyone you're chastening right now? I wonder how many plaques and titles Harrison had before joining the military? Or how many videos of LR critter shots he made? Some guys have accomplished great things in more humble circumstances, or are too humble to be constantly tooting their own horn about what they've done. Pat Sinclair is one example. He and George Gardner both get a great deal of respect from me, and not just for their shooting, but also the grace with which they carry their accomplishments. I certainly respect the accomplishments of Rick and John as well, and I think both are good guys, but they both make sure to get enough face time so the world knows about their exploits

He'll never post about it publicly, but there are very few people out there that have killed anything, let alone something as small as a coyote, at the distances Pat has.

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and lighten up a little. I know Burns can shoot, hell, I've also asked his advice and he's always responded. I wouldn't do that with someone whose abilities I didn't respect.

Thing is, Burns is a big boy and he can dish it out (and take it) with the best of 'em. Hell, I think he even enjoys it:

FUNNY fhuqking schit! Now choke tubes and Haybale & Crockett "pursuits"...are "barometers" of glass "evaluation"?!? Now that is EPIC fhuqking humor!

I'd hang a video of gunning .a 5 MOA 700+yd MPAJ hasty cluster via "lowly" 6x while laughing my ass off at Clueless Kchunts who feign a fhuqking clue,but them facts would be more than a touch unsettling for the couchbound Hubble Crowd. It's offa ruck,less any DooDaddery,JipJappery and Mall Ninjary,which is a curious constant and antithesis of the hand held foibles of poor poor Stupid Fhuqking Burns and his "Get Some!" "exploits",while hopping barbed-wire and really getting after it. Laughing!



The reliable arrangement of distant and dastardly POA/POI intersections is hardly a feat and few things mean less in the dot connectin',than X's. Hint.

Not that I don't enjoy the side splitting hilarity of the poor poor STUPID fhuqks,doing their "best" to find difficulty,where there assuredly is none.

Pardon my being afforded the luxury of not being forced to guess.

Just sayin'.

Should add,that I REALLY miss the days when Whining Kchunt Burns would "ban" folks,for calling him on his lying fhuqking bullschit...before he got ran out of business on a rail,for being the lying Snake that he is.

Funny schit!

Oops,the Dissertation on B&C stocks and aluminum bedding blocks was fhuqking hilarious too.

I wonder if she is still gunning all them "advantages"?!?

Laughing!!!!!.................

Now you done started it... bragging, you arrogant SOB... LOL

Nice few credentials there!

Did not know you shot shotgun... I shoot them too. But not well at all. LOL
