[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 3021258, member: 122991"] Curious, why does the 308 struggle? It was not and never claimed to be a caliber used for 600+ yard shots. You can if you find the need. Some folks do this. And some of these folks are very good at it. Its a relatively soft shooting caliber that will take any game in NA with the exception of large bear. Yes it is 600+ yard constrained. Personally, I never had the necessity to take game at more than 425 yards. But thats just me. Taking the "1k long shot" requires skill that most dont have. And most likely never will. But we try. Acquiring a gun that will do it costs quite a bit. Its your money. Not to mention deciding on a capible caliber. Add all this to individual training and capability. Suitable for a bolt action pistol? Really? The bottom line: Whatever caliber you choose must be matched to you and the task at hand. [/QUOTE]
