[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 644104, member: 24624"] Do you have a place to shoot out to 600 yds and in between? That's the only way you'll know what it can do. As suggested by others, attempting to go straight to 600 yds may be frustrating if you don't work your way up to it. Often, factory rifles with factory ammo may be real tight at 100 yds and begin opening up gradually at 200-300 yds and then do very poorly past 400, 500, or 600. Zero it at 100 yds. Plot your expected trajectory on paper. Shoot it at 200, then 300, and so on to see how your groups hold up and to verify your drops. -- richard [/QUOTE]
