Nothing special, just had to post some photo, because of all the whining happening here on this forum........
These Omega rifles were happy to go out, and shoot.
We went up to 4700' yesterday, and up to 4900' today. Both rifles shot the same load. Both were out in cold cold temperatures; 2° today, 9°, yesterday. Load was 250g XTP, 90 grain Blackhorn, black crush rib sabot, W209 primer. Both rifles started with a clean barrel. Me, i wasn't out in the cold long; shot from inside the truck with one elbow on the window ledge, and the other in the steering wheel.
The scoped Omega did the 200 yard shooting in light variable wind for awhile. However in the middle of the shooting the wind became steady from right to left, for three shots, then went back to being variable. The three holes left of center were punched during the steady breeze. The six shots right of center were made during a variable breeze.
The rifle with the iron sights did the 98 yard shooting. What i learned the most these past two days, is, it is very much easier to see the target in a snow storm if one is using a scope sight. It was very very difficult for me to see the target this morning when sighting with the iron sight.
Well, have to quit now; need to go shovel the driveway again, again.
