Oh and are you going grey Mucko or was it snowing down there? Ha ha ha ha.

Yes Rushy from now on I will.
I was told the rig was capable of the shot and take people's word for it.
That range with a deer way out in the open, no wind, and happily feeding should be easy meat for a 300 win mag, if any of those things didn't line up then I wouldn't of allowed the shot to be taken.
In the 2 months I've been doing it I've found most people can't shoot as well as they think they can.
And some can shoot steel 100% and still not hit a deer, so there's no easy fix.
