Not to stray off the beaten path here. But, this rifle is heavy enough & doesn't have much recoil when shooting prone. I can keep a pretty clear picture during shooting.


As for wind bucking useing the 95gr. I set up a plywood target @ 1/4 mile fencline one day. Shooting off of the hood of my truck. During a high wind of around 20-25 that angled around 20 degrees across my portside. With higher intermitant gusts. I timed my shots in between the higher winds.


I eventually managed to shoot a 4.5" group of 5 in a row[once I was on my bullseye after the 1st bullseye hit]. It took me 4-6rds or so, to get on the bullseye. As the wind pushed my bullet down-wind around 14" @ 1/4 mile. So I re-adjusted.


The 95gr even @ 600yrds hits them like a linebacker. A couple of yrs ago, I shot a small female coyote off of a carcass @ that range. Bullet impact, knocked her off like a fly. Massive exit wound. She regained her footing & I put another in her as she quickly hobbled down the valley floor. 2nd rd about cut her in half. As the 2nd hit exit, was adjacent to the 1st. Both gut area exit wounds.
