That round at 165yds , has to be like a ft- ft 1/2 holdover right?

[ODDJOB UNO]

a 158 gr JHP at 100yds would be at +.01". as i said a very accurate ballistically coefficient round.



add barrel length and it gets even better.


a 16" marlin 1894CSS is a all day 200yd deer/yote/java-leaner/bob kitty/mtn lion/ round gun once ya learn the round.


with a 6" barrel or less, yes you will have to "drop it in" and have some holdover. but reality is if ya cant SNEAK up on any of the critters mentioned to WITHIN 200yds...........ya probably ought to take up knitting or stop wearing old spice while hunting.

Good to see.

Cannot believe the idiots in the media asking in the video "did he have to have a CCW to have a weapon in his trailer!"...

Even if he did, it was the villain who was shooting at the cop. End of story.

Of course, we all know none of this really happened, because regular citizens can't be trusted with guns--they don't know how to shoot and will just end up killing innocent bystanders.

the suspect allegedly became aggressive and shot the two dogs and then shot the husband and wife owners of the dogs and returned to his RV.

Killed 2 dogs --- and then their mom and dad?

Good riddance - I don't care how he was eliminated from the gene pool - less debris to clog up the planet and suck up oxygen.

Hi Porwolf...

Feel free to respond here - it's a free country with free speech!

Or you could start your own thread on PARF - if that makes you feel more comfortable.

But to your comment about gun-worshipers.....my take on the story (and thread) is that thanks to our current gun laws and the country's long-standing history of the concept of self-protection - the bad guy was taken out and a good guy was not.

A second aspect of the story is the amazing marksmanship of this citizen.

Oh yeah...and here's a big one.....one could also discuss why it is (as Vinny mentions in his opening post) this story is not front page news as a followup to the Aurora shooting. Yes I know the body count isn't the same (so it's not as 'sexy" for the media) but it does have a connection to that tragedy in that in one situation the bad guy was not erased and in this one he was....thanks in part to the current gun laws. Interesting discussion but again - not very sexy.

Hope to hear from you with your take on my comments and/or other perspective.

Thanks Doc for saying what 99% of the rest of us feel.

Jeez, a upstanding citizen takes on a nut trying to kill everyone in sight and this "tree hugger" wants to start discussion's on guns again. Wait until its a member of his family who is in danger and ask how he feels then.

Remember, when seconds count, the police are usually 10 minutes away.

The cops in Aurora made there in 90 seconds and that was still way too late.

Sadly it took longer for the paramedics to get to those who were most in need though.....I don't have the link handy so don't quote me but LE were calling over and over for medical help inside the theater but the medics were stopped by all the fleeing wounded in the parking lot and couldn't get away for a while. I think it was like 20 minutes...

Thanks Baz. Well said. Great post!

That guy is one hell of a shot. To make that many hits with a pistol at that range is a lot more than luck. Seems like a nice guy as well.

Remarkable.

Agreed but I would love to see the pistol. If its a 2" or 4" barrel, he is very good and lucky. If its 6" or longer then that sure would help but either way he is a good shot!

[Maxim S]

Do we not know if it's a 6"? That's a pretty long barrel to be CCWing if it is...

[slodave]

The article that Vinny posted just mentions that the resident "retrieved his gun". Sounds like he lived there as well, grabbed a gun from his trailer.
