[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1559064, member: 2011"] I'm so old and worn out I don't walk-stalk much, except behind the house where shot ranges are maxed out a couple 100 yards and total round trip hike is maybe 1 mile and a half... For that I carry a 9 pound rifle. For my more serious stuff I shoot only from "hides" and pack the stuff in horse back. Idaho big game regs say no heavier than 16 pounds with any/all attachments. Thus no sling or hard mounted bipod. The Big Gurl is right at 15.98 pounds without a loaded chamber. Pushing a 411 grain Hammer Hunter at least at 3025 FPS MV. Very comfy shooting and can spot all shots. Shortest shooting distance will be on the order of 550-600 yards depending on which "hide" I'm at. Longest distance has yet to be determined.:) So how far does Steve's formula say I can shoot? The only thing I carry while afoot is the Sig LRF... So, [/QUOTE]
