[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2451538, member: 68875"] When you say "Game", that makes a difference to me. These are real numbers below for my longest shots I have taken on game and connected with 1st round impacts. I have definitely taken further shots on jackrabbits and coyotes, just waiting for that 1 mile+ hit. 1501 on Jackrabbit (25SST) 1365 (x2) & 1327 on coyote (.300 RUM & .250AI) 1201 on squirrel (.300RUM) 921 on coyote (6CM) Now, for big game, I am far pickier with longer shots. My personal longest shots are as follows: Pronghorn @ 875 (25SST) Elk @ 661 (7RM) Deer @ 488 (.25-06AI) My daughter has taken deer out to 637 with a 6.5SLR. But family members using my rifles have taken game much further than these with me present and coaching. Out to 1022 yards. I have rifles fully capable of taking big game out past 1400. I would not hesitate to take a good shot at game out to 1100-1200 if conditions were right. [/QUOTE]
