[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2916100, member: 126670"] 100 meters to 600 meters typically, but could be longer. I would need a lot of practice and be sure that I can hit exactly where I'm aiming before I tried a shot past 600 meters. My employer let me shoot his 6.5 a bunch, and I feel good with it up to 300 meters now, but not sure of my accuracy past that. He said his 338 magnum is good for long shots, but honestly it makes me uncomfortable to shoot, and thus only put 3 rounds through it. Doesn't seem to bother him, but he is 6'2 tall and a muscular 230 pound man. I had a difficult time choosing a rifle, but settled on my 7mm for in the future when I get good enough to make long range shots, then I will have enough rifle to do so. There are too many choices it seems. Same with scopes. It would be much easier if only 4 scopes existed. $200 for the 22 caliber coke can banger. Then $1000 for an okay hunting scope, $2500 good hunting scope, and $4000 great scope. [/QUOTE]
