I did something different and unexpected with rifles today.

A friend of ours comes down once a year for several weeks to help out with our work and get away from the winter weather in Ohio.

Most of what he did this trip was frame out a new room on our house. We were talking about shooting a lot, and straight wall requirements in Ohio came up. He wanted to get away from slugs and shotguns. He was looking at Henrys and such and I told him hold off. I wanted to show my appreciation for what he did for us.

I picked up some parts:



We got it close on the tripod. He's not comfortable going prone.





I went prone and finished zeroing. I worked on a drop chart on Shooter while he repainted targets.



I stayed in prone and dialed up 1.5 mil for a shot at 200 yards...



I dialed up 3.6 mil for a shot at 300 yards...



We had to get on with it to make time for a prescribed fire this afternoon, hence the smoke at the 200 yard line.

I'm impressed. I had marginalized 350 Legend as a work around for some short sighted lawmaking but it was really fun to shoot in a Tikka T3x.

Thread title took me a minute.

Haha, as a former Iowegian (moved to Idaho before all the straight wall common sense took hold) I approve this message.

Shotgun slugs are dumb, and I still resent the state of Iowa for the bad habits I incurred shooting them from 1998-2009.

Looks like that'll do!

That is pretty awesome of you.
