[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 866847, member: 21068"] No Doubt, no doubt! Good Thread. Last season, 2012 I bought and set up a 6.5-284 specifically for the long range shot that "might" happen. I practiced and verified and practiced some more..............LSS, I ended up sneaking right into the bedroom of 5 bedded whitetail and took the buck I was after at under 100yds. My best whitetail yet, 20" wide 4X4. Could've shot him with grandpas' 30-30. This season, 2013 I practiced again with the same rifle......"just in case"......and got my first elk at 575 yds. Which was as close as I could get without trudging through knee deep mud and water for the last few hundred yards. We'd all like to think "all this money and time and practice will someday pay off".........most of the time the LR shot doesn't happen, but when it does it darn sure makes a guy glad that he prepared. I would've never got that elk at that distance with my trusty ole 25-06 sporter. [/QUOTE]
