[QUOTE="Outlaw from Idaho, post: 8855, member: 1747"] 1894, sounds like a long shot to me with the low light and such. Sounds like a very good shot as it was. I'am just a hunter and have taken shots from close range 5-15yds out to 300-400yds as need be in the past 44 years of hunting. This past year I have been shooting alot with a 300saum and also a 300wsm and most the time I'am rock shooting. Useing my laser range finder to range a good looking rock, then makeing my best shot at what ever the range it may be. So I have shot alot between 400-600 yds. This past fall I took a Mule Deer Buck at 265yds and a 6x6 Bull Elk at 575yds. The 265yd shot I call a fair shot and the 575yd shot a long shot for me as it is my longest to date. I'm looking forward to shooting longer shots at rocks and if need be long shots at game. If there is anyway to get closer to the game I will do so. If not and I feel I can make a good shot a long range I will do so. My hunting,everyday carry rifles weigh 7-8lbs, so they limit some longer range shots in the field. For now out to 600yds is about all I'll do,and I'am happy with that. Thanks Outlaw. [/QUOTE]
