[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 668287, member: 30902"] Nice choice of rifle and scope. Can you shoot it that far? Yes but with such a light low BC bullet selection in .22 cal it's going to be difficult to find a load that shoots much better than MOA at those ranges in all likelihood. The exception would be if you have a fast enough twist to shoot the VLD's from it but most factory guns are going to be set up for the 50-60gr bullets. I've shot PD's quite successfully out to 600yds with the .220 Swift but after that you get a lot of inconsistencies due to the light bullets and wind. I'd say float it, bed it, shoot it and have fun. Start at 100-200yds and then just work your way out from there a 50-100yds increments and your in for some fun. [/QUOTE]
