[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 346534, member: 704"] LB sounds like fun to me. My hunting buddy is a swat sniper. Bow hunting we both had our custom 308 Wins in camp. I have more apples than I know what to do with so we impaled apples on the teeth of an old dump rake in the vacant yard we camped in. There was an old white refrigerator standing behind the rake and flies were crawling on it. As we shot apples we were spraying the old fridge with apple sauce. The fridge was setting at 103 yards and although flies are not exactly big game they were more than the two of us could pass up. We burned up a couple dozen rounds each in the next hour. Yes some flies died. We took turns shooting and spotting. On 60X it was fly one moment and hole the next. Sometimes a leg or two remained behind. We tried repeating it the following year, but their was either no flies or they didn't like my apples. I reset the trigger on that rifle yesterday. I didn't think it a good idea walking with a rifle with an 11 ounce trigger. It tool me two hours to get it like I liked it which was smooth at 2 lb 12 Oz. It had a little rough spot when I increased the sear engagement so I had to cut a very narrow strip od 2000 grit Emory to slide through the small trigger hole and pull out as the bolt drop put slight pressure on the sear. After a dozen passes the little gritty spot was gone. [/QUOTE]
