Long Range First Timer at Dasher Dome--Don't try this at home

[birdog]

Tuesday a pharmacist friend of mine, Chris, called and wanted to come over the to range and check out his new scope he had put on a Ruger 44 mag rifle. After setting his scope in, I set him up for a 800 yard Ole Chuckie kill shot with a Panda 6 mm Dasher. He took 3 sighters and had a nice little mickey mouse group on the large plate. I dialed the scope in and his first shot on Ole Chuckie was a head shot.







Chris is coming back Thursday to shoot his 6.8 spc

Shooting your high end rifle is going to cost him some money.

Wednesday his NF 8 x 32 MOAR T was delivered. He is waiting on a Begara LRP 6.5 Creedmore to arrive next week.

I like that Cummins sitting in the background, and the rifles.

The Cummins has 402,000 miles. 12 valve. Never touched injectors or pump

Have the valves adjusted.

Amazing trucks. Hard to find now days, in good condition anyways.

Yes. I have had valves adjusted. It has never been pulled hard. It has no goose neck hitch. Most of the miles are interstate miles. I used it on my job as a Cadilac.

Bird, a friend rebuilt these in Az. I saw several with 1,000,000 miles on them, which was put on the trucks pulling horses or cars back and forth cross country...they like to work hard.

No "g" in Cummins". A lot of folks in this area of IN work in one of their many plants, mostly Columbus IN. I have a nephew in law who is an engineer in the stationary, gen set division. It is a major verbal beat down to inject a "g"... in these parts. Jes' sayin'

HA! I had to read the original post twice, apparently, my 'skim-brained' mind missed the fact you were shooting a 6 Dasher (my friend Bob shoots one) and not a .44 mag out of a Ruger.

I'm interested in how he does with the 6.8, I have two 24" AR 6.8s I use for silhouette and steel varmint matches. The farthest I really stretch mine out to is about 650y. Good little round with the right bullets!
