If you are out doing the ground squirrel thing, its a nice and relaxed shooting experience. However when hunting 2 legged game that tends to have friends...you try to minimize all the thinking stuff and rely on the KISS princible, so it doesnt f*ck you up, or slow you down.
I'll go check that cave out.

Is your email address here correct?
your spouse.
If you have been arrested for a felony, or even most misdemeanors, your CCW is the first thing that gets yanked. It may only be temporary..but you will not be allowed to carry until its been adjudicated one way or another.

It actually does work. I just have to look at it.

Which is why I keep my '06 zeroed at 350 yards - with my normal loads that provides me with no more than a 3" vertical variance (plus or minus) out to about 450 yards.
After that, the drop accellerates and the kinetic energy diminishes rather rapidly.
Depending on the bullet and the velocity of course, with a 350 yrd zero, your point blank range should keep your round inside the COM out to about 625 yrds. The 175gr International type bullet at 2750fps has some legs and at 625 yrds, should still have more energy than a 44mag at the muzzle.

Yabut the COM on small varmints is fairly small, thus the shorter distances...
Two legged varmints, or the 4 legged kind?

BTW, I'm considering replacing my 40-year-old Weaver V9 [3x9 50mm] with one of these:

Too pricey? Might want to look at these....

I wish you would, and post a report.
I have a set of Barska 20X binocs. They work for me, but next to a pair of Nikons you can tell the difference in clarity.
Never worry about the bullet with your name on it.
The ones to be worried about are those addressed to "To whom it may concern"

I posted some reviews of Barska scopes.
They didnt fare well.

That's the only reason that I'm considering a new scope.
The old Weaver V9 on my old Savage 110DL still lets me shoot the occasional
1-hole 100 yd. group with Winchester Factory rounds. (As long as the rounds are from the same lot the rifle is just as happy with any weight bullet as with any other.)I skipped the meeting, but the Memos showed that Gunner Asch wrote on Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:41:26 -0800 in rec.crafts.metalworking :
