[QUOTE="the Bandit, post: 1495432, member: 106906"] At Song Dogger... given the number of responses, you asked a great question... lots of discussion and suggestions have arisen... I am new to this forum and to long distance shooting as well... but one suggestion I would like to bring attention to is by Canhunter35... If I can paraphrase what he said is this... you have to practice the shot you intend to take in the field... if prone / bipod is your preference, then you need to shoot the same way at the range. My suspicion is that you hold your rifle / look through your scope slightly differently when viewing prone vs shooting off the bench... and this is assuming that you were “precise” while at the range... Congrats on feeling capable of taking a 600 yard shot. You are not there yet but sounds like you will work to get yourself there. But I too, would like to recommend not taking this shot until you are precise at the range over the same distances from the same shooting positions / conditions. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
