Lightfield and SST comparison
Went to the Sugar Ridge rifle range the other day to shoot several guns. Took my H&R Ultra Slug 20 gauge along to recheck the zero after I got it back from the factor for a transfer bar repair. I have always shot Lightfields in this and they shoot great and today was no different. 50 yards 2 inches high 3 holes touching. I had bought a box of SST's to try out and fired one and it hit the same place at 50 yards. I have shot the Light fields out to 125 yards before but no further. We moved over to the 200 yard lane to shoot some hi power rifles and though I would see how the 20 gauge would do at this distance. I was using a 100 yard precion rifle target app. 18"x14", shooting from a lead sled rest. I put an orange dot at the very top of the target to aim at. First I fired 3 Lightfields and all 3 missed the target low, next I fired the other 4 SST's, all 4 hit the target from 9"-12" low. Also was shooting into about a 20mph head wind. I think this could truly be a 200 yard gun in the right hands. I don't think I would ever shoot this far, just not that steady for a group spread this large. Just passing along some info I gained at the range, I still think the Lightfields are great but not sure if they are a 200 yard slug, but the SST's definitly are.
