The video I did last week shooting the milk jug at 600 yards...that inspired my buddy to finally take a step in this direction.
He called today and told me to order him a scope like mine, except in 50mm if they had one, from whoever had them for the best price...I knew that without even looking...I got him one on the way, a demo unit from CameraLandNY, for $899.99...everywhere wants around $1,250 for them new.
The scope is a Zeiss HD5 3-15x50mm with a plex reticle and lockable turrets, his rifle is an older, extremely accurate, Browning Abolt chambered in 270 Win...that thing just plain shoots, I know...I do all his load development.
I'm gonna have to rework his load with a new bullet...he wants at least 700 yard capability, only one bullet that will do that...Nosler's AccuBond LR...he is currently shooting 140 Accubonds, but they are at their limit at 600 yards.
He's known for nearly 10 years that I did this type of shooting, but last week was the first time he actually witnessed it first hand...he's hooked....he's bought the scope, Talley mounts, and the Applied Ballistics app.
I only videoed that first shot that day...but I made the same shot a few more times...never missed, and if it had been at a paper target the group wouldn't have been more than 3"...centered the jugs every time.
2 of the things I am most happy (blessed) to have...good friends and a good place to shoot!!!
