[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1206207, member: 81139"] I 100% agree with RockyMtnMt.... it's all about what you feel comfortable with, the equipment you have (& it's capability), and the environment you are shooting in. There are some days when visibility is good and the wind is consistent or nonexistent, that I would shoot a particular rifle out to 800 yards and be extremely confident about it. Then... on a day when the wind is shifting, inconsistent, or there is fog, snow, or rain, with the same equipment, I might only feel that 500 yards is good. It's just getting to know you and your equipment's limitations... and then shooting within your comfort zone. My son and I took out a new rifle this last weekend to test out... and though it was my first bit of trigger time with it... I am confident that on a good day... it's a 1000 yard gun with the bullet combination we were using. We even just tossed on an AR scope and didn't have proper cheek to butt placement. We've decided to put it to the test next time we get out in the field.... but that's provided the wind and weather cooperate... Here's us this weekend shooting it out to 500 yards and I was using Kentucky windage. Easy to shoot well....
