When I was married my wife has a few pet bunnies for about 15 years. They can be bad a$$es, especially the mommas.

Maybe I didn’t emphasize enough the importance of waiting for a calm day, but 2moa at 600yrds with a sun-MOA 100yrd rifle is pretty straight forward. He doesn’t have the gear to do what you’re doing at 600yrds, and doesn’t have the expectations you have either.

In my own history as a LR instructor/“coach,” certainly nothing special in that field myself, I’ve taken a whole bunch of newbies out to 800-1400yards on 2moa steel within a matter of the first hour or so of shooting, including establishment of their 100yrd zero. We don’t usually take those classes out that far that fast when the wind is blowing 45mph, but living in Kansas, we’re rarely ever below 10mph whenever weather is decent enough to be shooting with newbies at all. On my personal range, I use the same set of 66% IPSC’s for my 500 and 600 yard “big targets,” and full size IPSC’s and 18” and 24” rounds as my big targets for 800-1000, or 1200. Sometimes we’re even taking kids as young as 4-6yrs old out to a grand, and not slipping rounds off of the plate.

But sure, if a guy is spraying 4” groups at 100yrds, the challenge of shooting a 12” target at 600yrds is more than trivial. That rifle should shoot small enough with some factory ammo to accomplish what’s needed, however.

Nah you did great -100% agree wind will wreak havoc, what usually gets me is not being able to spot my hits to correct my lousy firing solution. You could have saved me plenty of ammo .. I spent a year or so in Kansas before all this new blizzard proof clothing was available, heck nothing we had kept the wind from cutting right through us.
