There's still snow on the ground!  “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
The woes of seeing all sorts of stuff you CAN'T hit because it's too far away! Sweet terrain! | |||

Why is the spotting scope so far from the rifle? It should be right next to you so you can read the conditions with it. | |||

That was just during the setup. And my spotter hadn't arrived yet.  “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

The shooting was good as well. The course is not particularly difficult as compared with the ones I read about here, but involves shooting from different positions at various distances and sometimes the results have been less than satisfactory with this rifle. Several little things seemed to all come together this time to make a perfect run seem almost easy. I’ve had the Tikka (308) for several years, but just married it with a KRG chassis, and precision seems to be better than with the original polymer stock. Leupold replaced the windage and elevation mechanism of the scope after my complaint that the adjustments were mushy. I had also spent time confirming zero and trajectory data, but perhaps the most important factor was remembering and applying changes in my technique that I had learned from members here and elsewhere. Even my wind calls in 9-12 mph breezes were accurate. Beautiful location + good shooting = happy day. “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

That's too funny. I would be exhausted getting up and down for every shot. Especially at 10,150 feet ASL. I would probably be passed out after the second shot. | |||

Mount Massive, south of Leadville. “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

The woes of long range shooting in the mountains....I was expecting something about the wind! Private or public land? | |||
|
| Member |
Yeah, I think it's so high up the wind has no effect on the bullet, which if flying at muzzle velocity all the way to the target. | |||

Sorry I missed that question earlier: County property. “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.
