there was a roof over us but it was nasty in Mansfield MA today, wanted to see how it fired in bad weather....50 yards....its had 90 grans of pyrodex a crushed rib sabot and a 300 xtp bullet in the barrel for over a month.....my first shot was high to the right

the next 6 shots were in the 10 ring.....the 8th shot was in the 9 ring

I was having problems picking up the primers lol fingers were going numb......my last shot was freehand and in the 9 ring.....the gun never missed fired because of the weather...one time the plunger hit the 11 cap and it didn't go off...it was my fault I didn't get the cap on all the way I pulled the plunger back and it fired next time

I don't own that model but my three LK-II and 93, I feel the same way about. Really for shooting sabots it is all the rifle I would need. I never shoot over 100 yards and my LK, even with a 2x20mm scope off a good rest, I can do that.

That MK of yours is a great shooter. And that load your shooting will stop anything I would want to hunt. Was this with a scope or open sights?

I was thinking of shooting today, but being Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving everyone) it is deer season and I would hate to ruin someone's hunt because of me blasting away in the back yard.

happy thanksgiving ...yes it's scoped 2x-7x -40mm I don't think I could shoot that good open sights even with fiber optics......after 50 yards..i'm thinking I need a scope to shoot good

I agree... my old eyes sure like a scope at anything over 50 yards these days.

MK's are great guns! Congrats on some nice shooting
