I have a Savage 22-250 Varmint bull barrel sighted in at 500yds. I go to eastern Washington and shoot prairie dogs on ranches there. Longest shot was at 700yds; typical is around 400-500.

A Le Parisien article from July 2009 purports to show that Amedy Coulibaly was to meet Nicolas Sarkozy. Coulibaly worked at a Coca-Cola factory in Grande-Borne in Grigny, a southern Parisian suburb, and was due to meet the former French president as part of an effort from the Elysee to support companies committed to employing young people. Im really please. I dont know what Ill say to him. I guess Ill start with hello. Hopefully the president can help me get a job, he said.
He added: People from Grigny dont often go to the Elysee. Also, Sarkozy isnt very popular with young people, but its nothing personal. In fact its the same for most politicians. Meeting him will be very impressive though. Like him or not hes still the president.
The article also reveals that Coulibaly has nine sisters.
