My New Rifle!
Just got my scope rings and mounted my scope today. I can't wait to get out to South Dakota this summer for some prairie dog shooting. Ive got a rem 700 22-250 w/ a leo vx-iii 6.5-20 x 40 on top...if its warm this weekend im definitely taking this baby out to the range!

RE: My New Rifle!
Sorry to say this but that is one UGLY gun. However since I am already in South Dakota, you could send it to me.
.
Really though, Thats a beauty. I have a new Savago Varmit model waiting for the weather to improve. We have not had much good range weather here. Good Luck. Where are you going in SD?

I have tons of P-dogs....First you drink all the beer and eat all the cheese, then you'll start seeing them everywhere
Go check out some of the reservations, seems to be a good thing going there. I've never shot on one yet, but have talked to guys that have and they said it was awesome shooting.

Depends on where you are at, and if the ranchers are mad at the state. I'm sure you will be able to find one that will let ya shoot away, but it might be tough. I have a few places I can go and bang away all I want, but getting those spots wasn't easy.

RE: My New Rifle!
You might try calling 605-279-2125. This is the National Grasslands office in Wall SD. They may be able to help you or point you to someone who can. There are a lot of dogs south of Wall. I have some land North of Wall but the Mule deer ate all the prairie dogs.
