[QUOTE="JTW24, post: 1754787, member: 111932"] I’m no “long range” guy... but I’m in a similar boat as you. In central Ky I’m sub 500 yards. There are places I could reach out further, but nowhere I can consistently shoot 600+... the longest shot I have on our farm is 600. I’m more of a hunter/Varmit killer than gong or paper shooter... but this place has sparked my interest to play a little more with some distance. My elk gun is a 300wm and I’m comfortable to 500 on it. I have an 06 and 308 for deer and a host of other stuff that was all lost in a tragic boating accident to play with. I don’t care too much about getting into reloading, so I’m sure I’m severely limited by that, but I’m with ya on the 308 or even 06 for a practical intents and purposes “long range” gun. At least for me at this stage... I do have a 7mm saum I’ve never even shot... maybe it would be a good option to play with and expand on down the road. I’m prolly not much help here... but I’ll smile and shake my head in agreement with your thought process on this one. [/QUOTE]
