Sorry for delayed thanks gents. Me and the 8 year old went on a management hunt in East Texas this weekend and had no internet access.
(How spoiled am I?)
Anyway, no deer of the size we could shoot but popped a big hog with the AR-15 at about 40 yards! Finished the weekend off at the land owners range pinging the 300 yard steel target with my .280
Also, shot the AR at the 200 yd. steel off a fence post (Barska red dot optics)...nailed it 4 out of 5 shots! Not spectacular by some people's standards, but good for me.
Again, thanks for the b-day greetings!
