But in the same breath will say they can take 200 yard shots. Go figure.
200 yard ethical pokes are a rare one. I have killed out to 140 yards. But my confidense of hitting my POI was at least 95% or more. I sight my gun in, and I just swab it out. I take my gun back the next moring and find out the cold bore performance. I have even done this a few times. Most are not willing to find out thier cold one shot bore performance.
My Omega is sighted on a clean cold bore.That is how it will be in the woods. My PBR is 175 yds.Only on a standing relaxed deer with no wind will I take the shot at long range. My longest kill was at 163. After checking my zero before the season,my stock does not come off,and the rifle does not come into the house.
