Final sight-in with 375 H&H today

[LD375]

Hi fellas, went out for the last time today before my moose hunt to try out the 375 with the new leupold vx-3 scope...fired a total of 28 rounds today :twisted: ...@100yds from a bench rest, and using my cat pole while standing ..This is where I left it off @ 100yds shooting standing with my cat pole..I don't think newfoundland has a bench rest in the woods :wink: ...Lou

13 days to go...I hope it all comes together..I put alot of time and effort towards this hunt..Lou :wink:

The 375 H&H is a shooter.

Good luck on your moose hunt.

:grin: ..It's kinda weird :shock: ..Yah, I wanted to move the group about a 1/4" to the right, and 1/4" down..I left it as is, because I'm flying and don't trust the baggage handlers :shock: ...should be ok with the pelican hard case..when on newfy soil, I well fine tune for sure ..that's why i left it as is today, when I land on newfy soil, I well confirm my POI :wink:.Lou :twisted:

Lou,

Is that the Federal load with the 260 gr AB?

[gerry]

Groups like that sure can give a guy confidence. Those Ruger No. 1 Tropical models have a great reputation for accuracy, yours definitely is a great shooter.

Thanks Gerry, I'm not the greatest shooter by far, but this rifle well out-shoot most bolt guns for sure :shock: ...I am very pleased at the performance of the #1 for sure...For large heavy game, my sako 85 270wsm has become second fiddle :shock: ...I love em both though :wink: ..Lou
