My .22-250 at present is a Savage M12-VSS with a Leupold Vari-X III
6.5-20x50mm LR Target which was tweaked by a local smithy. It's the only
vaminter I still have.


Hey, That's what I have on the Ackley Improved!
600 yds. is very impressive with any combo.

I've nailed coyotes with it at 600, but my son has taken prairie dogs at
that range. He uses Sierra 77gr HPBT Matchkings and completely reworks the
cases.

I watched him through a 40X spotting scope and could barely make out the dog
standing in the burrow. He shot it in the ass and it cartwheeled in the air.

He's off in the Navy now, and he was the only kid who enjoyed varminting. I
miss that.

If he's in the Navy SEALS he is still shooting varmints at
long range. Tell him good luck and thanks.

No, Chemical Engineer, (LT(jg) ) in Virginia.

He went to college on a shooting scholarship. When I picked him up for
Spring break one year, I chatted with his coach (1968 Bronze Olympic medal,
23 years USAF shooting instructor). He said he'd seldom seen anyone hold a
rifle so rock steady.

I hold it more like Barney Fife.

The one sport in which men and women compete directly, NCAA
shooting. But PC is making colleges drop the shooting
sports. I'm waiting for the day the President goes to Camp
Perry again, I think TR was the last, maybe Ike went.

Exxxacccctly! The only war the CIA can or is willing to fight is the one
against the current administration. Does it amaze you that Sandy Pants
Berger can walk out of the National Archives with papers (probably bearing
hand-written notations from Able Danger sources) and everyone, including
federal judges, just giggle like school girls?

Yes, and they went to the US military to help them with their little
going-away party for Koresh. They needed a compliant little snake in the
army. They found Wesley Clark. Boy, did his career skyrocket after
that. Reno and Clinton may have been abominations, but if you were their
whore, they paid well.

Like Mary McCarthy?

"Equally interesting is her meteoric rise within the intelligence
community. According to her bio, she joined the CIA as an analyst in 1984.
Within seven years, she had rise to a Deputy NIO position, and reached
full NIO status by 1994. To reach that level, she literally catapulted
over dozens of more senior officers--and I'm guessing that her political
connections didn't hurt. By comparison, I know a current NIO, with a
resume and academic credentials more impressive than Ms. McCarthy's, who
reached the position after more than 20 years of extraordinarily
distinguished service. McCarthy's rapid advancement speaks volumes about
how the Clinton Administration did business, and sheds new light on the
intelligence failures that set the stage for 9-11. We can only wonder how
many other political hacks climbed the intel food chain under Clinton--and
remain in place to this day. "

NOTE: An NIO is the military equivalent of a four-star general.
