RE: great news on a hunting trip I am going on
that is why I added the ML, to give me more time to get a deer, VA has up to 6 weeks of deer season just between ML and rifle some areas (lucky you chap) has a little more. I have also set limits on my shots, ML and brush gun (sks) at 75 yards max, 30-06 at 100 yards max. which I have shot my ml at 75 yards but not with the load I am using but have shot at an 100 yards with that load I am using, it still would of got me some meat.
I also have some homemade stady sticks, I made them from bambo, to help me to keep still, I still can't get use to a scope after shooting open site.
