Now that I have vanquished our cold war era enemy Ivan (shot at 300-600 yds with a 308) it was time for a real rifle target. So I ordered an echo target rated for rifles. Once it showed up I bestowed a more current enemy name upon my new adversary. Mr Muj (short for Mujahedeen).
Mr. Muj weighs 63 pounds and the stand is another 20 pounds, but back to the story. I took advantage of a wind free day here in Nevada and headed to the range. I set Mr. Muj up at 300 yards and proceeded to engage. 46 shots fired with 46 direct hits in a 6 inch area between the head and chest. Not a single dimple to be seen!!! Then I let a guy shooting an armalite 30 in 300 winmag take a few shots. Not a dimple to be seen there!! It looks like Mr Muj will stand the test of time. The yellow side I painted once I got home after realizing a white target in the snow could be hard to pick up...luckily I had painted a 4 inch red circle on the chest and a "T" box on the head. All I need to add now are pelvis boxes to both sides, and red target zones to the yellow side and I'll be set.
I got to shoot the armalite and with the muzzle brake it had it had less recoil than my 15 lb 308.
All in all a great trip to the range!! How was everybody else's day?
