I had a browning A-bolt with a Leupold on it too, in 7mm mag. That fucker hurt!
I sold the gun because the cost of ammo is kinda high for that round. Right after I sold it I got into reloading

I load 50gn. Nosler BTs or 52gn. Sierra BTHP spitzers in neck-sized only Norma cases
I get the best accuracy with the 52gn. Sierras- the hollow point is for balance, not expansion

Nice. That is a pretty rifle.
I'm just not comfortable putting pics of guns on here.

Yea. The ballistics vary by chart and depending where the scope is zeroed. For a .243 it ranges from 4.8 inches to 10+ inches of drop at 300 yards. Depending where the scope is centered and will vary by round.
My particular set up and where its zeroed is around 5 at 300. Little of 6 at 400. Not sure on actua 500 yard.
I also know that paper doesn't always line up with real life.
That's a little more accurate of a statement as far as actual drop.
The shot was 475 yards. I held just above the back bone and hit the heart.
I regularly shoot out to 125 yards with a smooth bore shotgun and slugs. If I use my rifled single shot and sabot rounds I'm comfortable out to 200 yards.
I grew up shooting groundhogs out to 500 yards with my.243.
So yea. It wasn't six inches. More like 8.
I know. Rambling. I know that wasn't about doubting the shot. It was my slight exaggeration.

I loved all the unbelievable shots I made growing up at the ranch .....made 100 bucks off my grandpa shooting squirrels one day .....he made the bet ..... I swear I aimed my 22 at least 20 feet up and 5 feet left .....when I went and got the squirrel ....it was obvious the bullet came down at a steep angle ..... I don't kill shit anymore though TBH ....I'd rather watch em do fun squirrel things than kill em ....same with everything else .....and I've killed my fair share of game growing up ....I love to eat it and don't judge anyone who hunts at all ....but I killed a Buck about 6 or 7 years ago and it's just not for me anymore .....now I just target shoot ....my brother hunts enough shit I don't need to anyhow.
I will shoot a pest if I can't run it off though.

The trigger was actually pretty horrible when I got it
I worked it a bit and got it smoothed-up enough that it shoots well but it does take some technique.
Timney makes an excellent trigger for it, if I shot it more I'd consider installing one
The stock triggers on my SAKOs are excellent

Sat down with my guy at the bank today, Thinking of buying another property, it's a nice single family ranch style house. I can get a great deal on it and have been wanting to get into rental properties for some time now. Time to roll a joint and go over my options.

i don't own rental property, but i've been a manager for the last ten years. it can be a pain in the ass. look into how hard it is to get rid of pain in the ass tenants, what you can add to leases, what your obligations are. it's well worth the expense to use one of the better online companies to check prospective tenants out.
