    I have it from too much ear wax

    It annoys the hell out of me.

    I hope it isn't from my dad's loud motorbike and the 2 concerts I've been to.

    I'm far to young for that.

    Am I reading the range on the photo correctly? 223m with subs? That must be like a 2m hold! Not trying to offend at all, just never seen anything approaching that with subsonics, not even close.

    What rifle and scope is that?

    That's short range for some of these folks with quads... Someone was saying the time from trigger pull to impact was over 3 seconds!!!

    69.29 inches of drop at 223 yards . . . . so 8.6 mils of dailup and .5 for wind

    Sako RANGE Quad with gunworks suppressor
    20MOA scope rail - Burris rings with inserts 20MOA & 10MOA to get max elevation from the scope
    4-16X50 Steiner Military FFP mildot

    longest hit on a Rabbit is 340 yards . . . 400 on paper

    We have wee rimfire shoots at the club all the time shooting small steel silhouettes at 200m.
    I do alright with my marlin 60 and subs.
    24 mins of dial and 1 and 1/2 mildots.
    If there is not much wind or it is constant it is pretty easy to do well.
