[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 769755, member: 9705"] The 700 Swift you could buy is probably a 14 twist. So it's good to 400-500 yards. But you have guns like that already. The 6.5 is more likely a fast twist set up for heavier bullets. I'd see it as a 500-1,000 yd groundhog gun if it is twisted for the high BC bullets. That would take you to the next level. But you'd need all the things that go into long range: range finder, scope set up for clicking in range and windage, wind meter, and a ballistics program to calculate clicks in the field. [/QUOTE]
