[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1691565, member: 12443"] Well the topic is with regard to (extreme) distance, so what defines (extreme) distance? If we want to be fair to everybody, then the threshold needs to be lower. If we want to call it as it is, then for sure it would mean beyond 1000 yds, and in my own opinion beyond 1200 yds. That would pretty much rule out anything less than 30 cal. So that means I’ve already made some enemy’s. Lol But reality is very few if any reading this will ever have a chance at even a 1000 yd shot at an animal. Statistics indicate most long range kills take place well under 1000 yds, and under 700 would describe the vast majority. A bigger issue than what gun or bullet to use, is how your going to find game to shoot at at the extreme distances? Especially brown on brown, which means much of the time at many places. Then assuming you do find one, is it a buck? And does it have the proper number of points to make it legal? How much can we, or more to the point how much are we willing to spend, besides the gun and bullet cost to make this happen? [/QUOTE]
