[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 5016, member: 34"] Mike I know of no one who has built a real longrange rig for the 416. You mentioned the problem when you said the "low BC" of the bullets available. Add to that the poor selection of bullets compared to say a 30 cal or 338 and I'm sure you can see why the 416 has not been used for the purpose of LR hunting. Sorry I can' help you to much here as I know nobody who has a LR 416 rig. DC As an add on here. If you can maintain 2500 Feet per second with a 350 gr 416 bullet with a .515 BC, it would take you 50MOA or 200 1/4 Min clicks to reach 1000 yards. This is more then twice the clicks needed for the same range with a LR rig in the 30 cal or 338 cal. You also would have just 943 foot pounds of energy left at that range. You do have a solid 500 yard rifle if it is shooting accuratly. Practice is the name of the game along with good optics. Do you know Roy, the Wolf hunter? If so, tell him I said hello.
