[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1023132, member: 4191"] 1000-1200 yds would be a stretch. You could build light and go to 800-900 yds. Build heavier if you want to go further. The 280 and 280 A.I. are running out of gas at 1000 yd anyways. Certainly at 1200 yds on game animals. I've got two 280 AIs and two 7mm Rem Mags. Shooting 168gr Berger VLDs. Even the 7mm RMs lack energy and velocity at 1200 yds on large game. Most folk aren't going to be able to pilot a lightweight rifle past 1000 yds. That's why most build heavier to target game at the longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
