[QUOTE="Marine24, post: 1742114, member: 17072"] Thanks Rev. I'm confident shooting steel at extended ranges and have done so out to 1232 yards on a number of occasions, but my longest hunting shot was 462 yards on an pronghorn. Up to that point, I always limited my shots to inside of MPBR of the cartridge I was shooting but 90% of the time, I could hit them with a rock when hunting out of tree stands in Jacksonville, NC or the shots were inside of 150 yards hunting along power line cuts. My scopes had duplex or 4A reticles, so any holdover was done using the animal's back as a reference if that was even necessary. This rifle will be a purpose built long range rifle out to 700 yards. I'll mount a March 3-24x scope on it that I have on my 6.5CM. Just need to get in the necessary trigger time to translate my confidence hitting steel to taking a mulie at that distance. [/QUOTE]
