Just a bit of an update, I haven't got to my 1500 yard expectation yet, but I'm getting close. Shot a sambar hind at 1491 yards. Amazing experience waiting 5 seconds for the noise of the hit to come back! 8)

I wondered if you two were in cohorts together Glenn, similar type of rifles and a very similar dream for long distance deer busting. :D
