So std range day for me, there before daylight testing N/V shit all good. Right at daylight comes a SUV, pulls right up to the 200yd line where I'm at. We exchange greetings an I stop an add a chamber flag, so he can set his target. He sees it say he is not setting a target, lots of stuff on the bank to smoke he says. OK I go back to shooting subs an he makes comment to the subs/can/ & hits on the bank. Says he has not shot a can past Army days, I think here we go a space shuttle door gunner or something. I ask if he wanted to bang a few, his face lights up an said sure. Ok here she is go for it. The first thing he asks is where is it sighted for, wow, this might be something. Tell him it's sighted for high-speed at 100yds an takes 32 MOA of up to get to 210yds were the junk on the bank is. He looks at the scope(leupold 3.5x10x40 mk4 m-3) an says you shooting the bank on 3.5? Yep I say, he looks thur the scope an says Damn I like that retical. Says the one he used as a std mil-dot, at this point I'm thinking he may be the real deal. He loads the mag, an then asks how do you deal with the first rd pop as the bolt had been open all this time. I point to the eye drop bottle, an he says got it. At this point all doubts are removed, he puts 4 drops of water in the can, installs the mag, gets a long look an pulls the trigger. I did not know what piece of clay bird he was shooting at, but he says Damn, missed it. I ask how much, he says about 1.5"-2.0". So now I ask what you going to shoot next as now I'm looking threw the spotting scope I dragged out. Now mind you I've not said a word as where to hold at 3.5X on this second FP scope with a tree ret. Now I know He's truly BTDT, so lets just see how he does when we change the range, I point out targets at 156 124, 78, 23 yds ect, damn if he did not hit 3 of them out right. He gets pissed at his self for missing but made a comment ( I use ) that floored me, close enough as there are no different levels of dead. At this point we start talking, an he says he's just moved to Bama from a liberal shit hole(his words) but never said which one. We talk about the range, the kind of people that come out, an other things in general. His time was right after mine long ago, how things were back then an how they are now. A very, very good day. Last of this week we are to bang some 300wm an 338LM at a place I have limited access to, should be a good time as he's never banged a 338 before an that place has wind in 3 different directions between muzzle an target across that valley. Even a blind squirrel like me finds an acorn every once in awhile,...
