Gun is a Blaser R8 in a GRS Bifrost Stock, Atzl Trigger, .308win semi-weight (for range only), with a Leupold VX6 3-18x50. Remington Factory ammo.

I knew I can shoot, but had never been on a range >100m before (pretty damn hard to find here...). Very happy with results.

Yeah I just shoot off a front bag as well, which is how my heartbeat interferes with my shot, because I'm bracing against my shoulder. I'm shooting a Remington 700 tactical, not because I wanted a tactical, but because it was the only 700 I could find.

That screen is really cool. I wish we had those at our range. We just have spotter scopes set up that aren't really powerful enough at 300 yards.

Do you have the CDL (custom dial system) on your scope? Mine has one, but I haven't had it custom made for my area and ammo yet. It's still pretty great at adjusting elevation.

No, I have a regular 1/8moa wheel, which is why I just recently got a new scope with mrad ballistic turrets. Haven't had time to try, though. And the 300m range means >2h one way drive anyway :-(

For hunting, I use the same gun just with a .270win barrel and a different scope, that one is zeroed at 150m, that way I can shoot pretty much anywhere between 0 and 220 metres, further out I wouldn't do anyway on a live target. But the shot still needs to hit a palm sized area for me to be satisfied, that's why I need to train.

Ah that's super cool that you can swap barrels and change the caliber.

I'm very fortunate to have a 300 yard range about 15 minutes from me. I'm even more fortunate that it's a club. $280 per year and I can shoot for free all year, get discounts on ammo, and have a gate key and can shoot even when they're closed. They also have a trap range, 3 archery ranges, and a pistol range. It's probably the coolest club I've ever been a part of.

Oh wow that sounds awesome. I HAVE a 300m range, only 10min from where I live. However it is only open to the - I don't know, maybe 3 or 4? - people who train on a national level and no one else gets to shoot at that awesome range they purpose built for the Olympic games some decades ago. So 364 days a year it's empty. Fuck me, gun laws in Germany are awful. Used to be so much easier back in Switzerland, or even at home in Austria :(
