New gun

[B24]

This raises a question. Why do they have rifles at gun shows?

One buddy of mine had to run around in circles with one hand on the ground, rifle in the other held high, saying "I'm a shitbird" over and over for about 10 minutes for calling his M-1 a "gun"

your new to you is a old rifle to collector. Start of collection. Wish I had that.

First shots at 200 yds? no. If your 3" left at 50 yd. you probably won't hit the target at 200. Try it at 50 first, unless you just wan't to burn ammo. As for the bullet drop, If your on at 50, you should be 1&1/2 inches high at 100 and back dead on at 200, according to what Jim Carmichael wrote 40 years ago. You can apply this to most high power rifles including magnums.
