[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 59000, member: 2245"] Ahh thats lovely country.. Well i have specialised my self on long range shooting of roe and red in SCotland, most of my shots are over 300m, and i usualy shoot more than the "normal" hunters i take with me just because i have practiced the ability and have the required equipment. The problem in the UK is that the darn game dealers knock you so much bloody money of the carcas price if thebeast is shot even slightly wrong, and its easy at distances over 300m to be an inch or so out, and an inch will make the difference between getting next to nothing for a carcase or the going rate. More and more i see estate stalkers bieng pressured into taking head and kneck shots only due to this reason, and no way would i encourage shooting at the most movable part of a deers body at much over 250m, the head of a roe is a small small target, its kneck bones or vertabrae is even smaller. I find that if you have the ability to stalk close (and ive shot deet at bajonet range too) and can pull the long range rabbit out the hat then you will do ok wherever you are, the key as in all things is practice practice practice.. nice looking rifles by the way, you wouldn't catch me carrying that AI up much of a hill though !! goo to see some one hase good taste in scopes..
