Default 200 yard Mountaineer results

Since the other thread got so lengthy I decided to post the results on a new thread. It was a little windy 10-15 mph, but I decided to give it a try. I shot a couple at 100 to warm up. then i sighted it an inch high at 150 yds with an unbelievable group, so encouraged I went to the 200 yd mark., actually 211 yds by the bushnell rangefinder .I only have a phone camera at the moment so the target was not really visible in the 2 photos I tried . The last photo is two shots taken at 211 yards. once again off the little plastic clean/sitein on the hood of the truck. It was a slight down hill angle for the hood due to where I had to park so I actually had to cant the rifle slightly to get the crosshairs straight. I was impressed with the results. For those doubters all i can say is come on out and try it yourself. If I can do this anyone can. there is a fellow forum member who will be here next week ,you could get him to give it a try for confirmation if you don't believe my post.

Very nice, chet... I doubt any one questions your results as I stated in the last thread... I would expect any of the newer inlines to be able to pattern as good or close to that... or they would not make it in todays world of pushing long range products and shooting... that is definatly a keeper...seems to be well spent money!!!

Thatta boy Chet, great shooting, now you have set the bar for me to try with my Mountaineer at 200. Also there is only one problem with your post, "the gun is not in the photo!"lol

Oh and for what it's worth the 200 gr shockwave only dropped 12 inches from 100 yds to 200 yds.

The wind was out of the south so I was shooting into it. According to the ballistic App on my phone there wasn't suppose to be any drift. .. And I doubt I will ever shoot as good as you. I have seen your results.

That is real fine shooting.. no doubt about it. A deer at that distance would be in real trouble.
