Default Mountaineer & X7 @ 300 Yard

Snowed some last night; just had to get out, and look for tracks. Took them rifle with, and set up at 300 yard. Loaded both with 300g Deep Curl, 115g BH, crush rib sabot, W209 primer. Took 2 shot with the X7 then a shot with the Mountaineer. Aimed at the bottom target with the X7, and at the top target with the Mountaineer.






Was surprised to see the bullet from the Mountaineer strike the lower target. After a bit, it dawned on me that i had removed the cds dial from the scope on the Mountaineer, and replaced it with a moa dial so i could shoot it at 400 yard. Evidently i didn't install the cds dial back properly. So, set up at 200 yard, and 100 yard to adjust the scope on the Mountaineer. After many shots, and several adjustments; set up again at 300 yard. Aimed at the top target with the Mountaineer, and made 2 shots. Then loaded and shot the X7 at the bottom target.






Saw only 4 sets of deer tracks; no coyote tracks, no turkey tracks, and no lion tracks.
