    Shot my first Turkey in about 20 years last night. It was a weird one - it had a mutant clump of feathers/hair growing from mole-like lump on it's chest. You can see it in the photos - it was the thickness of a yard broom. Took the legs and breast meat to see if there's any truth to the rumour that Turkeys taste like crap at this time of year.

    I imagine at that distance the rabbits wouldn't hear the shots so you could keep plinking away until you had them all?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    i put a incline value of 5 degrees into the Strelok firing solution.

    running a combination of 25MOA canted rail . . Burris XTR 34mm rings with 25MOA of inserts,
    Seiner Military 34mm FFP mil/mil scope with 10.0mils per turn X 2 revs

    bullet flight time is 1.25 seconds with a vertical drop of 212 inches or 7.6 feet,
    dialed 17.6mils and held 1/2 a body length for the slight breeze . . . good solid hits, back flips, run around in circles, fallover . . . happy camper

    HA HA Good shit. That's gold and bloody interesting.
    We have been shooting quite regularly at 200 with cci subs.

    The smallest puff/shift throws her out a fair bit.😆

    I have taken a rabbit at 311 with a supersonic round but have not been game enough to try a sub at those ranges.

    i hear that a lot . . . i never really intended to spend as much as i did . . the plan was to get a Quad RANGE, get some experience at longrange wind reading out to 300yds and later sell it and put the money into a dedicated centerfire LR rig.

    trouble is i am great at buying guns but crap at selling them . . . plan B is put the scope/rings onto a dedicated 30cal subsonic LR setup later on
