How do you Figure? Its only a .308 and I can assume you have shot Missions 300m and are print clovers or perhaps you are a comp shooter and use Volks so you can do some Ma Bell shooting ?( I have shot at both and others)
Unless you have an Unapproved round such as TMax I really cant see how you could have exhausted your target shooting options down here.
Of course if you want to pretend you are Tom Beringer and play sniper then by all means find some bush and play games and have fun but dont try to say that you dont shoot at ranges because they are too short LOL!

Yup, Tom Beringer style. No rules or line-ups. Only 300 yards? I'm trying to stretch it out a little further than that. I shoot at stationary clays at 250 yards with just a .22. Bearing in mind that they're dropping at the target from above at that range.

Fair enough . One plus with shooting on Crown is that you can bring some reactive targets like full cans of soda or plastic jugs of water . as long as you bring them out its all good clean fun.

The biggest problem i found with shooting long ranges in the woods is haveing to travel over the debris to check the targets. Once you start to get up toward merrit or around 100mile things get open and it is alot easier for this kind of shooting (also less people) .

[barracuda]

I just got this rifle. It isn't available in the US, but we can get them in Canada. It is called the Tavor, and is the new CQB issued rifle for the Israeli army.

Up here, however, it is a non restricted, ten shot 'hunting/target' rifle.
It takes AR mags, so the LAR-15 pistol mags hold ten legally. It comes with two 5/30 mags, ( pinned to five)

Awesome to hold, and excellent sight control.

They even indulged my choice of serial number ;o)
No hating now.
:wink:

Even though the mags are legal, hunting with ten rounds is not

Ruger 10/22 target model. Like I said, it ain't a straight shot at 250 yards, I'm aiming like at least 3 feet above the target at that range.

Thats what i'm aiming for.

ya got one of those. they are pretty accurate but 250 yards?:laugh

i actually have the stainless hammerforged barrel one with the laminated stock. no longer available for sale. i think you can only buy blued ones now with an ugly engraving at the bottom of the barrell.

I can see that. Once you start pegging off the bullseye repeatedly, you need to increase the distance or else it gets boring. If you want to make it more interesting without having to travel far, just remove the scope and use open sites.

I've fired my Ruger 10/22 at about 200 yards. My scope is usually sited in around 80 yards and I aim the rifle accordingly.

 

[Dodgeboy96]

Ya, open sights does makes it interesting. I have a winchester 1200 with a 26" barrel that I use to shoot dead propane tanks with 2 3/4 slugs at about 80-100 yds. It's fun.

 

[barracuda]

ok when i am speaking of reactive targets i am talking about ,Cracker,clays popcans , water jugs .
I am not talking about tons of garbage, propane bottles computers tvs etc or anything else that people "find" in their trailor park:laugh

 

[Dodgeboy96]

Ya, that happens too much

 

[Crack]

So how did the Tavor work out Dook? Did you try any other ammo in it besides the 60gr?

 

[Dook]

Wellll...
My Uncle, and I went about 20k up into the mountains in Sushwap with my son, and blasted away for about two hours.

My first target pie plate at 100 meters, I hit two of ten shots. One in the loony sized bull. The next were a little better, but it was sighted in for 200 meters, so it was all grouped high.
I honestly hadn't shot anything for almost 20 years, and mostly rim fire before. So this was all new to me. Kickback and all.
I was mostly just having fun, and getting to shoot 10 shots semi auto was great. I only shot a bolt gun before.
I only have the 62gr eagle .223's for it. I just got a shipment of 2000, and had about 600 before. Should do for a while. It's getting hard to find, especially 62 gr.

My critique?
The red dot on the Mepro light was too damm big. I couldn't see the plates, let alone the cans. It was better with the plastic iron sights deployed, less parallax.
It pointed well, and after figuring out the feed procedure, ( let go of the bolt Uncle!) It fired flawlessly.
I have ordered the rail to mount other regular sights. Happy about that.

I also took up my marine 870, and fired about 30 rounds with it. The Knoxx stock worked really well for kick. It was a blast!

Overall, I think I shot about 200 rounds, and hated to leave, but it was cold, clouding over, and it was a half hour home.
My son enjoyed picking up the still hot shells, and putting them back into the plastic holders for me.

I gotta go out again soon!

Bang x 10

TPS 20MOA Rail
TPS 30mm rings

Dlask Muzzel Brake (removable)
Bipod

 

[Dodgeboy96]

Nice! I was looking at that but I am way over my quota for f/a this year, the wife would have killed me if I brought another home.
