[QUOTE="joe boyd, post: 9281, member: 2053"] JDJones75, I have killed several whitetails at distances up to 400 yds shooting prone with bi pods or a prone rest. I feel that 400 yds is max. for a 308. I had borrowed a used sendero in 300 rum from my local rem. dealer, who is also a good friend, to try prone shooting with, and my junk right shoulder will not let me shoot a 300 rum enough to be proficent at 500 - 600 yds. He had 2 demo 40x rifles that remington built for an outdoor writers shoot. I took one and shot it and since I already own the legal limit of 308s I now own the 300 saum. I think the gun is too nose heavy and needs more overall weight. I have a 40x .308 that I shoot prone that weighs 14 lbs. so a heavy gun doesn't bother me. I read the stories of people on this site making 1000 yd kills and I am in awe. I know how much work it takes to take a 400 with confidence and the profesency required to make over 1000 is mind boggling.Hope this clarifies my question. thank you [/QUOTE]
