However, I honestly don't know about hitting anything over 300yds except at a range with a rest. I've never even tried to shoot something that far away! My range is set up for 150yds, I guess I need to mark off a 400yd spot and start practicing.

This. Most places, you're taking out gophers or prairie dogs at maybe 100 or so meters. Coyotes or boars maybe even closer. And if you're deer hunting, it's usually fairly wooded in a lot of places, so it's more about not being seen/heard rather than a 1000m shot over a flat terrain. |

Yes, and my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, so I am limited by that. We would need to add scopes to the equation to have a chance of hitting a pig at 400+ yds.
But I think August and these guys did answer my question, the creedmore has an edge in LR accuracy and ballistics. Very interesting, I'll have to consider that along with the other factors, including ammo availability.

Yeah, not buying any ammo for a while. Best price I can find is around $1 a round.

@ Neal: Remember the Alamo, and keep yer TP dry!
That can be a major consideration in this pandemic trauma time BBY!...for serious shooters that is. Even at Cosco it's about a buck a roll!!??...

^Same here; that's why I switched to TP! My brother in law had driven cross country in his tour bus a few months back with a new Llama auto pistol and was unable to buy .9mm for it anywhere along I-80 from Virginia to California. I traded him a box of my Berretta service weapon's .9mm for a delicious box of cookies and a little electrical work around the house!

Well, I think I made it through my gun lust phase for the year. I can hold off, going to rejigger the budget for a new tile kitchen floor since the ice maker has been leaking beneath the wood flooring, causing it to warp.
