If Carlos Hathcock was able to use the modern high speed low drag gear in clear mountain terrain, he'd have done better by a mile....literally.

Yeah, but you gotta admit its funny. Like, when I was in FRG, anybody with a truck garden had EOD on speed dial.

Add a Leupold scope and you're correct. I have a 6.5-20X that a company called Premier bumped up to 18-40X just for giggles. There is absolutely nothing like shooting an accurate rifle with a fantastic scope and dialing exactly to less than a minute in order to hit the target.
My problem is the math. Ok, I missed by 17 inches at 500 with a scope that has 1/4 minute clicks. That's uh,... carry the...divide by 5....multiply by 4... Oh, nuts.

Hathcock could have hit a gnat on the moon with the right longarm!!!

Seriously...he was the best...RIP.

I have never hit anything smaller than a deer's chest past 400 yards and I will freely admit it. The way my eyes are now going rather quickly...the future for my sniping promise looks bleak. Has anyone else noticed it takes longer arms to read a book? LOL
