[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1270616, member: 12660"] "Better suited rifle for long range"... For hunting, even at long range, the Kimber will do just as well as anything else provided it will shoot .75 MOA or so (honestly, 1 MOA is fine for 600 yard big game)...you only need 1 accurate shot (best case), but just about any plain old rifle will give at least 3 good rounds. If you're wanting to reach beyond 800 yards...you'll need a better rifle shooting a bigger round. I have a 280 Ackley, a Nosler M48 Custom, 24" magnum contour barrel, shooting 160 Nosler Accubonds at 3,000 fps...its accurate and repeatable....it won't shoot .001" groups, never has, never will...but it will shoot .75 MOA all day, every day. The load does use Reloder 26...the overall length is 3.34". No rifle anywhere, of any configuration, for any price, will kill a deer any deader at 800 yards.
