[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 765439, member: 10291"] Your criteria for game is identical to mine. While my typical long range shot averages 500-600 yards, I've shot several deer over 800 yards, longest 998. Coyotes out to as'far as I can range them. I switched from the magnums to the 6.5x284 several years ago for this kind of shooting. Besides beng extremely accurate, and having sufficient energy to kill deer at 1000 yards, the light recoil in a comparably lighter/shootable rig than the magnums has been more amenable for this kind of hunting for me. My 10.5 pound Cooper can be carried all day and still provide a stable platform to make consistent long range shots. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
