Default Longest shot taken with new rifle. SSCCOORREE!!!

Well 2 nightsago I got the opportunity to stretch out my new 308 Savage Model 10 BAS rifle. I was heading over to a buddies house and noticed a yote out in the field next to his house.
I pulled up next to his barn and pulled out the rifle and laid it over the hood with sandbag rest. I pulled out the Bushnell laser Range finder and lasered hit him at 790 yds.
I dialed him at 800 on the BlackHawk Tactical and sent him a 165grn Hornady A-Max-agram with an AA-4064 chaser just as he stopped and looked around. Caught him a shade back of his shoulder, he jumped up, ran bout 10 yds, then flopped over!!!! DRT!!!
I get on the 4 wheeler and head out to get him. I dial on the barn next to my truck and get a 787yd reading. Not too shabby for having only fired 140 shots out of a new rifle and nothing over 200 yds till then. One yote down, how many more to go!!!!

Nope!!!! Was pretty impressed with the exit wound as well. Bigger than I thought it would have been for not hitting any real bones, just ribs.
