[QUOTE="backspur, post: 1880791, member: 3034"] I was duck hunting with a friend one morning. We had just commented we needed to start taking some longer shots if we wanted to get more birds. Not long after, a lone mallard drake flew over on the other side of the slough right above the tree line. My buddy and I looked at each other. That fat greenhead was pretty far out there. My friend shrugged and lowered his shotgun. I was feeling good, so I led that ol' bird out and squeezed the trigger. That drake dropped like he was yanked out of the sky on a string. It was a beautiful thing. I paced it there and back and it was an honest 65 yards. Not bad for an old Mossberg 835 with a modified choke shooting cheap Winchester #4 steel shot. The shot itself is probably not that impressive, but the whole experience is one I will remember forever. More recently, I took my new Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle out to put a rough zero on the iron sights. I fired three rounds touching at 25 yards. I made adjustments, fired three more rounds touching at point of aim. I ran out of time and left it at that. Later that day, I wound up at the 300m range shooting some other rifles with a friend. I pulled out the Ruger GSR. The first round was a dead center hit on the steel silhoutte at 300m. That was a sweet sound. I didn't manage to get all my rounds on target that day, but that first one made it all worth it. Man, I do love that gun. [/QUOTE]
