DarkLight 0 Posted July 10, 2002 Found this on some website, i don't think the pic is too big, if it is, delete it and then i'll post a link to it. Here's what they said on the website. "Last shot of the Day." This shot was during a routine target session and was made at 140 yds on a cool fall day Oct.2000. The rifle used was a Rem 700 VS w/3.5X10 leupold and Harris bipod.. and 168 gr fed Gold medal Match ammo. Courtesy of Ptl. J.B. Conley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free to correct me <span id='postcolor'> What you say is completely right. Anyway, i can hardly imagine how small that shell must be at a range of 140 yards... Even with a great scope you still gotta try not to move too much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted July 10, 2002 There are lots of little factors involved: wind, humidity, temperature, parallax, head positioning etc. etc. It was certainly a skilled shooter and some awesome equipment, but in the end, there was also good amount of luck involved.
