[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1538894, member: 99718"] I told you I didn't remember all of the details, but that gun should be good to 2500 yards I would think if it was actually 2900 yards, that last 400 yards has got to be taking a lot away from it ! My 308 Norma Magnum is still kicking up a lot of dirt at 1550 yards but it is dropping real fast, it drops 6 ft from 1500 to 1550 yards, but out to about 1300 I would not be afraid to shoot a deer it's that last 200-250 yards that it is running on empty so to speak ! It is very accurate though I hit an oak leaf out on Bull run dead end when I was sighting it in checking my click sheet that was amazingly on the whole way out, the leaf was at 1300 yards and I missed by about a foot the first shot, then I only had to go a couple of clicks each way to put my crosshair on the leaf, the next shot the leaf went air born !Very pleased with it for all that it is !
