Long range for anyone! I've taken my .50 BMG out to 2200 yards but that is half again, plus. Damn fine wind reading ability. | |||

50 BMG? You're an evil man! | |||

To each his own, but this doesn't do much for me. He first sighted in on a 4 MOA target, which at 2 miles is a 12 foot circle (higher than most trucks). The one MOA target would be a bit over a one yard diameter circle. Wind of 2 MOA isn't a whole lot, especially at that range. I would much rather be able to hit targets at closer ranges in high wind conditions using field positions that are not prone (which is terribly impractical). But like I said, to each his own. | |||

Lets me out I guess? I can only get 120 yards on my home range.  Larry Sellers SCI(International)Life Member Sabatti 'trash' Double Shooter R8 Blaser DRSS | |||

As pointed out, 2moa at that distance is very small and would have to do some research to determine the bullet drift w/o wind at that range. Apparently no wind at all?? Must admit that was quite a feat for shoulder fired rifle. No question though that the Chey Tac folks have done their homework on extreme distance shooting. It is a rare day that I did not have at least 2moa wind for the 308@at mere 1000yds. | |||

Time, money and range to do it on is all it takes. | |||

Perhaps this type of long range shooting is more in line with your comments: Posted by Tyler Kemp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...ejaiL5MJfCfRiXHt9YXA Safari James USMC DRSS | |||

No kidding instructor; I was shooting at 700 yards on Sat morning with a .220 Swift shooting 80 AMAX bullets, a 7 STW, and a .338 Edge. The Edge had the least holdoff - 3 MOA, although my only miss occurred with that gun when a 3 MOA had me hitting right 10 inches. For the other shots, it was 3-4 MOA. The Swift and STW were 4-6 MOA. My definition of a hit is within 6 inches; I fire sitting with a bipod and sling. | |||

Perhaps some have not read of the Sandy Hook shooting - that is Sandy Hook tests of 1879? Yes testing the 45-70 at how many miles? Some at 2500 yards and some at 3200 yards. 45-70 at 2 miles in 1879 Plevna Delay - Single shot BPCR at long range | |||
