Nice shot
Few months ago we were shooting at a friends place way out in the country.
After getting the rifles dialed in at 600 meters and we had put some groups on paper and on the steel targets, I thought what the hell, I will try it off hand
due to us talking about an earlier case*
One round, one hit. The wobble was all over the place but the rifle swung towards the steel gong and I pressed the trigger right when it was on, so I knew it would be a close shot.
Two spotters confirmed the hit, I did not see it as the recoil swung me off target.
The rifle really doesnt matter as it was lucky as hell, but it was a Tikka T3 Tactical with a S&B PMII 5-25x + one of our suppressors. Shooting Lapua Scenar 167gr
*W were hosting the Finnish Military Reserve 3-gun championships back in 2008 or 09
One of the stages was a "sniper" stage with falling targets at 300, 400 and 500 meters.
After the match ended we had some time on our hands, Lapua Scenar 167gr ammo, our scoped Sako TRG-22 and our pistols
I dropped the 300 and 400 meter targets with one shot each off hand standing with the TRG, messed up two shots on the 500 meter target and called it quits. Damn those targets were swinging wildly in the scope..
A team mate of mine sights on the 300 meter target, which were electronic and punched up after my shot.
My buddy guesstimates the required front sight elevation with his 9mm pistol and bang..
The damn target drops...he turns to us, did you guys punch it down, we were laughing our asses off and saying no we didnt.
Hell of a shot.
He dropped it again, 1 hit out of 10 or so shots.
A another team mate dropped it with a ricochet, the shot landed about 2 meter in front and 1 right of the target in the swamp and ricocheted into the target.
