[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1347527, member: 12443"] In answer to the question, there would be no doubt you are capable of making that and even a longer shot with either of the guns you have. Notice that most responding are referencing the shooting aspect of it all. My suggestion, and that of I dare say (any) experienced PA long range hunter would be to have a spotter buddy observing when you shoot. At that distance especially, the bullet arrives on target so quickly that you might not know for sure what happened, but the spotter will know. And should the deer run off after being hit, he can stay on it where you probably wont, and you might not know for sure if it was hit at all. He can also direct you right to the deer afterward rather than you trying to locate it alone. Fact is if he's younger, you can direct him. Sounds to me as if you might have a gold mine there. Be prepared to shoot before you need to shoot except for chambering the round, and don't hesitate to cheat by using a bench. [/QUOTE]
