[QUOTE="szeitner, post: 836790, member: 40046"] I shoot primarily in the hunting aspect, generally in the 300-600 yard range, but depending on game and rifle, and caliber choice, I would shoot much further. I do some targets, I have access to a 1000 yard range about a mile up the hill, and a friend has a range setup with towable targets that I can shoot in excess of 1 mile. I do a lot of prairie dog shooting at longer ranges, coyotes, you name it. That is with a 22-250 with the Falcon and the H-59 reticle. I also use this gun for antelope and deer as long as I can get a decent head or neck shot. I have a Savage 110 30-06 that I use for deer and elk. I would have no issues at all at taking an elk or deer at the 800 yd range, and could shoot further, just don't feel that there is enough energy at much longer distances to make a humane kill. IF I owned a 300WM or something along those lines, I would feel much more comfortable taking the longer shots on game. My longest shot last year was a 405 yd head shot on a mule deer. [/QUOTE]
