pagosawingnutLong 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!

AnotherAZWriterTo 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.

InstructorAs 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.

Perhaps this type of long range shooting is more in line with your comments: Posted by Tyler Kemp:

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.

SR4759Perhaps 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.
