missed a coyote!

the family and i came up to indiana for a family gathering. i always bring guns to shoot and play with. well, i brought my new remington 700 in 243, i had only bore sighted it and only fired 3 shots to clean it between each shot and not really sight it in. well, i was wasting time talking to family and not sighting in my gun....we sat down to eat and there is a nice yote walking through the field at 200 yards, i run out and grab my gun.....i shot 6 inches behind him....i sure wish i would have sighted in my gun instead of talking to drew!!! lol i drove around looking to find him after dinner but didn't find him. if i would have had my 700 in 30-06 he would be in the back of the truck for sure!

Can't win them all, except if you where me and I also don't lie

Get it sighted in ASAP! That way next time you'll be on him like a "duck on a june bug" bro!

yea, it is sighted in now!!! little 243 does good with hornady 100btsp factory loads, it didn't care for the 58gr vmax that much, couldn't get it down to less than a inch group where the 100gr would do a 1/2 or less. i'm going to do some reloading for it now and get it liking the 58gr....i hope

What kind of gun in the .243? I have a Savage 10 in .243 that we just sighted in Friday. I was using the Wally World Winchester 100 gr. Hollow Points. Sorry about the yote... he'll be DRT next time.

it is a remington 700 sps with a leupold scope.

Yer doin' it wrong.

Evidently the way to get a 'yote is to go jogging with a Ruger LCP and a laser sight...

Bore sighting is a good way to save ammo when one is getting new gun/scope online.

Then it is time to sight in.
