Nuking gophers...GRAPHIC PICS
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 9:44 pm
Went out on a gopher blast yesterday...used my .22 semi so much it finally would jam every second shot. So out came the Ruger .204 *Target* and started knocking gophers into the next time zone..(a piece at a time )
Two of us blasted between 600 to 800 dirt pigs in an 8 1/2 hr time span. I was armed with my "Go to .22" (Squires Bingham M20 semi with 30 rnd mag) and my Ruger M77 MkII *Target* in .204 using Hornady 32gr Vmax factory shells, topped with a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 on a "VersaPod" bipod.
Once I got the crosswind figured out I was hitting them at 180 yards giving them one gopher body width for windage.
WARNING...Moocho gore to be seen here. But I thought it was fun to watch the launches and red explosions through the scope
