Those 38’s are decent silhoette and midrange guns for the most part but when you start hunting rings they fall a bit short

I’m looking for the scores. Where did Matt post them?

Don,
I still want to find out what this little caliber can do, and when I get a chance to practice at a long range I will get a sight setting.
The mistake I made was, I changed the scope blocks. I put a very high block on the back and I milled the front block down low enough to reach 200 yards to just get above the front sight shadow and this worked fine.
I tested this rifle at the Quigley on the 805 yd. and it stayed on it with out a problem during a good breeze.
Now that I can see fairly well again the scope is off the rifle now and the MVA tang is back on it.
Ian won a long range match using it. I don't know what his conditions were but he is on my hard holder list to listen to.
Here you go Jim.
I don't know where that 13 score came from. I did not turn a score sheet. I just shot the first relay sighters and spotted for Matt on the first relay and the first for Robyn and went to the Pitt for the rest of the time.
We only shot the 1000 and rained out for the Sunday 8 and 900.
