[QUOTE="Dr. HK, post: 3911716, member: 3237"] Some of you members should take out some Veterans! I was fortunate to go hunting for the first time in my life. I haven't shot a bolt-action rifle since my time in the military under Clinton as I am not a hunter, and I didn't want to spend much money on a rifle, scope, or equipment. I ended up buying a Savage Axis (Nov 22) and purchased a cheap Nikon scope when they were on clearance about a year or so ago. Anyways when I went to go buy ammo it was in short supply, so I ordered some online for the hunt. When I went to sight in my rifle I had 40 rounds. I shot 34 rounds at 25 feet or so. Then 3 rounds at 150, and 3 rounds at 200 yards. It was warm enough that I didn't have on a jacket, or a hat, and had a rest to practice with. Went hunting last weekend and it rained Friday and Saturday. It stopped right around dusk, so we went out for about 30 minutes Saturday night and didn't see a thing. Sunday morning we went out before dusk and sat out there and saw nothing. Shortly before we were about to call it a coyote came out, so I asked if they are a nuisance and was told not really but if I wanted to shoot it go ahead, but I didn't. So we waited a few more minutes and then right when we were about to pack up, I saw a buck. I was told to wait until he gets by the feeder away from the trees, head up, and where to aim. I was waiting for the perfect shot. It was about 200 yards, I was in the blind and EVERYTHING I didn't account for at the range was now a factor. The blind was cramped, I now had on a hat, and jacket, I wasn't shooting straight forward, but now out a side window. So I took my time and went through all my training, breathing, finger placement, etc. I took the shot. As soon as I took the shot the deer jumped, then began to sprint about 15 feet, I thought I missed him because of this, and then stopped abruptly, then had a wobble. I had a good clean shot and got him right where I was aiming for. I was surprised because of the cheap rifle, and cheap scope.
