Magic rifles.

[petemi]

I've been blessed.  I own two of them.  A handi .45-70 and a Ruger .308 M77 MKII.  Ya gotta understand, I'm old and shakey.  Yet, I can hit anything I can see with those two rifles.  I'm sure I miss-aim, and it's gonna be a miss, but both rifles KNOW what I'm shooting at and correct accordingly.  I know it sounds wierd, but that's what happens.  I've shot both of them to past 400 yards and they take down the target every time.  I AM NOT a good shot.  It can't be me, it's gotta be the rifles.  Anyone else experienced this?

 I have one like that. A Ruger M77  22-250. Just can't seem to miss with it.

A friend of mine has an old Mossberg .22LR semi auto with the flip down forend. I'm not sure of the model number but that thing makes me look like a really good shot. I can shoot ragged 1 hole groups with open sights at 25 yards. He won't sell it to me lol

I can't even begin to tell you why that happens.  It just does, and I'm happy for it  I've made some remarkable, no, incrdeible shots with both these rifles over the years.  About three or four years ago I dumped a fox at about 400 yards off the back porch with the .308.  About two days later, I took a coyote  in the same spot.  Both shot through the lungs with one shot.

I repeat, I can't shoot that well.

Some times I call it luck!

30-06 Ultra Comp. Too bad it sticks on ejection. On the other hand, who needs a second shot.

You wouldn't be interested in selling one of them magic rifles would you.  Most days, I can't hit the ground with my hat.

It's pretty interesting that the Ruger keeps coming up   But to be fair, I've gotta add the Handi .45-70 to the list.  Yesterday, I chronyed a load for a guy here and whacked the 300 yard gong shooting offhand through the Chrony.  What made it even better, it was a home wrapped load.

I have a couple. Browning BAR Safari II with upgrade Grade V wood and Nikon scope (30-06) just doesn't realize you can't make some shots. I have a 9422M Winchester that kills very effective at 100 yards --- and I don't mean paper. Set the scope on both of those guns 9 years ago, never shot paper since. They just point, shoot, and kill almost as second nature. Now I just need a bird gun that allows me make shots I shouldn't!!!!!!!!!!!!
