Let’s see: 1,000 yards, shooting prone only, at a 1″ MOA (10″ at 1,000 yards) plate, in central Texas weather conditions and without a spotter…
I’d be lucky to hit the berm.
Still, a bunch of folks have tried, using all sorts of strange and exotic rifles, and here follows a series of episodes (links in each pic). (Note: watching long-range shooting is usually akin to watching paint dry, in slow motion. This isn’t.)
Episode 3 (featuring Courtney):
Episode 4 (that’s a Chey-Tac):
And then, in Episode 5, some ol’ boy named Chad shambles up with a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 (!!!!) using a house brand S.W.F.A. scope and Sellior & Bellot 7.62x54R ammo:
Just the thing for a long, lazy Saturday.
Just FYI: TP’s host (Brandon) is an excellent shot, as he shows in this video. His comments on scopes are particularly useful.
Unfortunately, he’s not a good speaker — he tends to rush his speech — and the budget scope he likes is the Arken Optics EP5 5-25x56mm, which I cannot wait to try out, maybe next year if we have a ULD draw.
