From the shooting range

Wow 4 different 30 caliber rifles. You consider those big bores don't you? Lol

Yes Mark. Various optical sights, from the highest quality to questionable quality. Poorly installed mounts and screws. On three rifles I had to remove and reinstall the optics because I couldn't adjust them.
 
Took my .416 Rigby out to play last Friday.

Shooting paper at 100m, using 4Stable-Sticks to rest the rifle on. A 1-4x24 Schmidt and Bender scope on top.

Shot 3 was definitely my fault, anticipating recoil. Shots 1,2,4 could be mostly covered by a 2€ coin. So I would say a 1” group or less.

I did a little practice on my range yesterday…

More fun and better practice than trying to shoot tight, little 3-shot groups.

This is my personal range at my hunting land after a fresh mowing.

It currently goes out to 250 yards in 50 yard increments. I have a little tree cutting to do to get it to 300 yards.

After I decide what load I want to use for a particular rifle and at what range to zero it for, it’s very easy to put a target at each location and establish my point of impact for each distance. Then I put a label on the scope that shows the hold overs for a given yardage.

Arguably, that’s splitting hairs from 100-300 yards.

We had a Big Game Rifle Club shoot on the weekend.

I guess 'Big Game' can be relative, and a few goats fell in the rook rifle event. :ROFLMAO:

The little BSA Martini in .310 Greener held it's own, putting some chevon on the table.

Some seemed to be favouring spine shots. ;)

The .275 got a run in the 'Classic Light Nitro' event.

The .375 Holland took on the Pop Up Lion.

The .450 BPE even managed a podium finish in the 'Black Powder Stopper' event.

A great day out.

No chance for me in Belgium to do that. I can already be happy that there is a gun range that allows me to shoot .416Rigby

I did run a BASA style rifle course with my .500NE thanks to @Frederik

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
