I'm screwed until about 9:00pm tomorrow. I'd also be able to meet up until about 2:00 on Wednesday. Then I'm in South Georgia until Saturday.

We were doing so good here and then you remind me why I hate you I might be able to make Wed happen. Let me see how productive I can be tomorrow.

I’m using a 30-30. The new 308 is not even bore sighted yet. I’ll make a trip though. I’ll see if I can sneak away one day this week somehow and get the new rifle dialed in with the scope that’s on it.

I do not want the first shot a take at a deer to end up just wounding it.

.30/30 is as good as it gets in the Ga deer woods. It really is a hammer. Accurate and lethal. At 300 yards get a bolt gun, but at sub 200, .30/30 will pole ax their asses.

Since this worked out so well let’s talk lottery numbers. What are your thoughts on selecting the winning numbers

Let me verify something with the panel of experts here before I squeeze the trigger.

If I’m zeroed in at 25 yards I’m gtg out to 100-125 and well within ethical kill shot area on a deer, correct?

With a 25 yard zero you're going to be higher than you want at 100 yards. I'd zero an inch low at 25 yards and then move back to 100 yards for adjusting. I'm usually about 2" high at 100 yards but I have fields and I want something closer to max point blank zero.
