How good is old hipshot. Let me brag on my friend for a bit. A few years ago Dave won a Browning Low-wall with the whippy octagonal sport weight barrel. That was in Medicine Rocks. The next weekend on The Big Hill I noticed him practicing with it in box stock condition. I asked if he planned to shoot it in the match? He said yes but he hadn't had a chance to try it until today. I walked away thinking I might have a chance to beat him, finally. Nope, the son of a gun shot a 40/40 later the same day. Good shooting Dave.
Paul
Was that actually the match he ended up in a shoot off with another 40/40?
If that's the shoot, Dave actually ended up
43/43 after the shoot off vs. the other dudes, 42/43 & a Savage bolt action, fixed barrel sights, using Kentucky windage & elevation
IIRC
He's had more than one perfect score over the years
I don't remember if he's had more than one perfect score in the 22 Rifle match

Thanks for the kind words guys, now my heads swelled I"ll have to get a bigger hat. Im getting older and my eyes are not as good as they use to be, but dont worry there is another Gamble to take my place she has been kicking our butts this winter with air rifle. Dont say i didnt warn you guys, hope you dont mind getting beat by a 12 year old.

Thats a good price and they have it in stock But they have a limit of one so the shipping and hazmat put it out of my price range.
Thanks for the link.

Wonder if they would combine shipping a bunch of us could order one jug and see if they would combine it.
