hunted chucks again today. spotted this one out in a field near my parents place. tried to ambush it once with no success. on my way out of the driveway I look over and there it is again. well I am not going back out to ambush it again so I set up in the driveway. my rangefinder would not read earlier so while on my first walk I ranged to the trees at 300 yards. I was another 330 yards past my range tree. total of 630 yards. wind was minimal and straight on. im using the applied ballistics by Brian Litz so I entered the data and made the corrections. 14.2 MOA up and .4 left. this one looked very small and far away with a 14x scope! I touched it off (muffs on of coarse) and came back into the scope as I saw dust fly. I think miss but im one who always goes and checks no matter what im shooting at. I walk out there to a stone dead chuck with bean sprouts still in her mouth and a neck wound. the bullet penetrated and expanded. she did not go any were! as odd as it sounds ill be getting this one mounted. im still amazed I connected on the first shot. I want to say thanks to all those who put their knowledge of these SP's out there.

Incredible shot! Hunting groundhogs is great fun.

Congrat's on a fantastic shot.

That's a long poke - congrats.

Awesome Tyler! That's a long ways out there!

NICE shooting, Tyler!! Congratulations!

Congrats!! I wish I had a place to shoot ground hogs. It looks like fun.

630 yards---- AWESOME.

Very nice shot, congrats!

What can I say that hasn't already been said!

WTG!!!

Great shooting Tyler.

Would you mind sharing the type of handgun you have, the caliber and barrel length and the make & model of the scope you used for this wonderful shot.

Thank you.

thanks again guys.

UglyDawg, the gun is a savage striker that has been converted to a rear grip. barrel is a krieger 8 twist and measures 15.875" from bolt face to muzzle and is threaded for a mini Muscle brake. scope is a nikon buckmasters 4.5-14 with the standard crosshair. the chamber is in 6mm BRX.

Can't wait to see it mounted!
Full body or shoulder mount?

thinking of a standing full body. have to see if they can do a short bean field base. it should make a good conversation piece when I can have a true man cave/trophy room some day. until then ill stick it on my gun safe to keep the cats from picking fights with it!

Nothing like going downtown. Great!!

that is awesome!!!!!!
