Otto's reindeer

A reindeer shot at 200 yards with a 6.5x55 Mauser with iron sights at 200 yards.
Cheers,
Otto

I'm impressed, Otto - talk about some open country! Where was this taken?
Nice reindeer, Thanks for sending this in.

  1. I am also blown away impressed by Otto's skills. Iron sights at 200 yards, with a Mauser no less...

    Did he have some work done on it? I have one of my own and I enjoy shooting them, but the quality from Mauser to Mauser can vary greatly...

  2. Silverfiddle: Don't be impressed - it was my best shot ever, and I will never be able to do it again. There was very little wind, the reindeer was almost stationary, and I was shooting from a prone position. My brother in law was next to me, ready to fire a follow up shot.
    The Mauser is a sporterized Voere Mauser K98. No work done besides what the good people at Voere do to their rifles.

    Wirecutter: This is a valley in southwest Greenland. Yes, you have readers in Greenland.

    Cheers,
    Otto

  3. Congratulations to you still, Otto.

    And that is responsible hunting, having someone ready as a backup in case you didn't get a clean shot.

  4. WOW! I killed something that had no chance to defend itself. From 200 yards away! I AM A MAN!

  5. Anonymous: If you ever left the warmth of your mommys' basement and tried to stalk an animal for hours in the freezing cold with no concealment to hide behind, you'd realize just how much of a man it took to make this kill.
    Fuck you, go throw some wheat germ on your yogurt.
