22 mag Ruger 500 yard build Possible ?

Having downrange spotters/target pullers is a standard practice, provided the proper facilities and protocols are observed. Where I do most of my shooting, there are concrete shelters, very much like a military range. Reliable radio communications are essential.

Sometimes you see things that make you wonder. I saw some guys sighting in their hunting rifles. The shooters were standing in the bed of a p/u truck, resting their rifles on the roof of the cab. The target was in front of a large pile of sand/gravel. The spotter was standing off to one side about 15 feet. Laddie would fire a shot, the spotter would walk over and point to the hole. Laddie would observe through the rifle scope. Having already worked the bolt on his rifle, feeding another round into the chamber ready to go. As soon as the spotter stepped back the 15 feet, he would fire another shot. Laddie did keep his finger off the trigger when observing the spotter through his scope, pointing at the hole.

Not a very safe practice as well
 
well finally got the scope mounted. Had to get larger 30mm rings with Higher mounts.
Got it Bore sited , lock tite and screws Torqued properly.
Did a whole pile of reading on how to use this Scope. Never knew there was a First Focal plane. A tad more complicated than my Tasco 3x9 LOL
Just an old fart trying to learn something new and have some fun.
did some research on my bullet drops on the ballistic calculator to get a fare Idea.
200 yards-19 inches
300 yards-67 inches
400 yards-168 inches....thats like 13 feet
500 yards- 337 inches...yikes 28 feet LOL....kinda skeptical...

Getting any decent results at 300 very laudable. 400 is the next one up universe. Anything beyond that is pure black magic IMO.
