We bought a Savage 110 Ultralight in 308win. She was able to take 6 animals with it. I loaded 168gr Nosler LR Accubonds. Shots ranged from 100-350yds off sticks.

Well we’ve been shooting at least once a week. Here’s a pic of the wife’s best group so far at 200yds off a bipod and rear bag. She loves her gun.

My wife and I are booked for Oct 21. She surprised me for our 20th anniversary next year. Like you this will be my second trip but my wife’s first. She’s decided after all these years together that she wants to hunt herself. That made me super excited. Already bought her rifle and a couple new...

So we’ve been out shooting and getting her comfortable with her new gun. Only issue she was having was getting used to using a mil scope. It just didn’t make much sense to her. I started explaining the diff between MOA and Mils and she said MOA made way more sense to her. I started looking...

I had surgery on my right eye last June, at age 47. I went from great vision to legally blind in just over 6 months. After the surgery it took about 3 days and I had my old vision back. I went with a distance lens do to shooting sporting clays as my wife and mines main hobby. I knew I would have...

Wife out shooting her new rifle. She made several shots today at 600yds. She moved up to 200-400 and started practicing shooting off sticks. Making several hits off the sticks. Darn good job for her first time with them.
