[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3056292, member: 10755"] I shoot 600metre groups as a regular weekend thing with my F-class rigs…at a paper target. I do not know how big or small your milk jugs are, our largest milk jugs here are 3 litres, and with the big side facing me I would be confident of a hit with only 4 of my rifles, none of which are truly ‘hunting’ rifles, they are precision long range rifles and aren’t suitable for hastily made shooting positions. Cant is the biggest negative I have had to endure in my LR hunting experience, often a bi-pod is just not going to work in the terrain provided, so I am not gonna commit to putting a figure up on your poll, wind I can deal with, angle I can deal and rest positions I can deal with, but as soon as I’m out of my comfort zone, confidence diminishes. It all rests on confidence… I have used my Kimber 8400 Select in 300WM to take game in New Zealand at 600+ metres, no wind and steep angles using my daypack and a rolled up shirt as a rest, but I had all the time in the world to get it right and get comfortable, the animals were oblivious to our presence, so the shots were easy. I would not have the same confidence if I had to make a hasty shot without some prep at those ranges… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
