[QUOTE="wats338, post: 2791557, member: 71047"] I'm sure the theory and opinions will be interesting on this one. I shoot a 20" barrel since I don't like crazy long overall length with a suppressor attached. I had an opportunity to take an elk at 950 and did so without an issue, pancaking her on the spot. I don't advocate for this distance of shooting on elk as you should be able to get closer, myself included. However, I put in enough practice to where I felt confident and the environmentals were right, and there was no approach available. So it was a take it or leave it, and I had very little time to get out that fall. All that being said, I did this with what all the "experts" would say is not near enough gun, but somehow the elk wasn't informed of that. [/QUOTE]
