Longest Rifle Shot Ever Made

[WisconSniper]

What is the longest rifle shot ever made or the longest anyone knows of? I don't mean sniper combat shots. If you Google "longest rifle shot" all you get is sniper shots. I believe the longest combat shot is about 3,070 yards. But I know there are guys that have made longer shots on paper/prairie dogs/milk jugs etc. So what's the longest non-combat shot you know of?

All I know is the army tested the 45/70 out to 2 miles in the late 1800s at Sandy Hook. Must have been quite the arc but if I recall they hit nose first.

Not the longest shot ever made but I had two 1st round shots on target at 1 mile on a 1.7 moa target, for me that was a longest ever shot made.

Yep that is a long ways for sure, but which shooter & which shot hit the 12 foot square target ?

"If I recall"...you mean....YOU WERE THERE!!!! Awsome.

My dad killed a buck out of our shooting stand here in ND from the 14th hole at Longbow Golf Course in Mesa, AZ (he was on a golf cart)....1800+ miles.

7MM, 180 JLK @ 3050. I don't recall the dial up or the windage he used. The bullet did not exit.

Some days I do feel that old. LOL But if you think about shooting a lead ball with black powder 2 miles it's probably more amazing than the youtube showing the 12' square target with a new sniper round, high power scope etc IMHO

 

[haffyti839]

The video posted is shot i was talking bout 3650 yards 2.2 miles

 

[WisconSniper]

So it looks like 3650 is the longest recorded on a target so far?
