did some shooting on the weekend, savage .17

[dastt]

figured id just post this, this is 5 shots at 100yards, using a bipod and a half bag of salt for a rear shooting bag ahah!

this was a quick 5 shots at 200 yards, it was hard to get calm after walking a 400 yard trip through soy beans that are past your waist

WOW! Awesome shooting!
Now I'm having second thoughts for listing my .17HMR.
What scope are you using?

 

[dastt]

Its a barska 6x24x50

 

[speedjunkiesracing]

Nice shooting.
Gun? Ammo? Weather conditions?
Please

 

[dastt]

Oh yes sorry,

Savage 93r17
heavy barrel
Accutrigger
Don't remember the make of the bipod
Barska 6x24x50

Ammo was federal premium 17 grain

Conditions were fairly calm, there was a slight left-right cross breeze, but it wasn't enough to effect the shots

Excellent Shooting Sir, Now its gopher eye time.

how many clicks of elevation did you have to adjust going from 100 to 200 to keep your 200 yd shots in the bull?

 

[dastt]

I didn't adjust my scope, I know that at 150 the drop is half is about 1/4 the distance between my first and 2nd mill dot, 200 yrds is roughly 3/4, it took quite a few rounds for me to figure out where the drop is

I just set it for 100yrds and it stays there, its just easier for me
