I was off to the range this morning. The guy at the bench next to me, was talkative. He was preparing for an Antelope hunt, in Wyoming, next week.
He was shooting a borrowed rifle. He was not sure of what ''bullets" it shot, but wanted to know if they were ok for Antelope.
Turned out to be an old Ruger M77, camo stocked, in 30-06. He was shooting 180 grain Remington factory ammo. His groups at 100 yards were Minute of pie plate. He said he was not going to adjust the scope, since it was a loaner, but just 'hold off to the left'.
He thinks he can get to within 400 yards of an Antelope, and then the rifle will have to take it from there.
I almost hope he does not even see an animal to throw lead at.
