what is the longest distance you have hit a target at?

[motohead185]

120 yards, head size rock with a 5.56 piston ar15 with magpul open sights. Loved that rifle, now i am going for 200yards with my modded 10/22 haven't had time to get out and scout a suitable range.

Mine..... 700yds man sized silhouette Iron sights on an AR. But that was a few years ago and have not been able to shoot past 100yrds for lack of a good range.

I know there are some sharpshooters around here, so start bragging!

in real life or in my dreams?

Shot a crow off the top of a 200 foot high Douglas Fir with a 357 mag snub nose. Felt pretty good about that shot.

3", 2 shots(my friends are allergic to rain..) @ 250 yards, w/a 100 yard target, standing. Was w/a remington 700 in 300 win mag, 24" 416 barrel, a used Barska 60mm scope, using bi-mart 150gr remington ammo. Bi-mart bore sighted it then it was kicked around under the bed for month's before it was fired. It was very muddy were i was, I had to constantly re-positioned.the last time i shot a long-action or magnum round, anything with re-coil since i was 14. I paid less than $200 total so i was pretty impressed.

1000+ yrds with my M1917,91/30 Mosin,Garrand.None of which are very consistent at that range,but I can hit the man sized target 3 or 4 out of 10 shots.

 

[olyshoots]

412 yards from a prone field rest on a Pronghorn antelope with my trusty .280 Remington. One shot kill. Not sure who was more surprised - me or the Pronghorn!

AR15 5.56 w/ trijicon accupoint TR21R, shooting M855. 250-275 yds, 1gallon jug of water, shooting on my feet using sling held tight to keep still. My dad was pretty stoked about it...I was proud

Out in the desert, shooting rock walls I've shot close to where I was aiming up to 500-750yds plus. I would love to shoot at a long range and get it down though

 

[KingAirPIC]

967 yards. 3x4 foot foam board target. 2 of 3 shots on the paper. Room for improvement if I could find a place to practice regularly!

- Savage 12FTR, .308, 30" bull barrel, 175 SMK.

 

[FritZ PDX]

I'm amazed at the distances everyone is hitting targets. My best shot ever was about 100 yards using a .243 on a Orange Clay. I guess someone should teach me to shoot???

22 yards on a Ptarmigan with my long bow. 88 yards with my 30.06 on a caribou. 115 yards on a griz in the Brooks Range with my 30.06. One shot behind the front left.

 

[Yooper Time]

5 for 6 @ 600 with a Colt A2 Match Target HBAR on a man sized silouette target. Open sights, but modified to a National Match Front pin.

Well there is enough 300yd 22-250 shots on here for me to tell this one.

I bought an old Winchester 30-06 and a scope.Couldn't get it tuned in and had $500 into it.That was alot for me at the time.I didn't know you needed to use the same grain bullet whilst doing this.

Took out my $85 Enfield 303,pure stock from 1943 I believe.
Paced off 200 yds to a milk jug,flipped up the peep and set it at the 200 meter mark.
Put 5 shots thru the jug,first time I shot the gun.

The Winchester didn't stay with me much longer.
Wish I still had the enfield

 

[hsullyc]

327 yards milk jug with Remington 700 ltr 308 with Burris 4.5x14x42 during deer season.I love it when people leave jugs of water in the woods for us to shoot,we shot four between my brother in law and myself.The worst part was going to get them,we saw why they were left there.

 

[Madwulf]

Soon after i got my PSL-54C, i went to a friend's house near Sweet Home who has 400 yards available to shoot. Took a while sightig in, but we were shooting milk jugs at 400 yards. I now have a better scope on that rifle and i can't wait to get back to his house.

I do fairly well at 800 yards hitting a 3' gong with my PSL-54C,
but I have a low level AK side rail with a 6-24x52 scope on Burris rings.
...and I do the "bench rest" style shooting.
I can hit a 8.5x11 sheet of writing paper at 400 yards with alarming regularity.

Do you handload for the 7.62x54R?
Try Barnes TSX bullets in your russian.
Good lordy the difference!

 

[sheepdip]

500 yards on a young rock chuck, about the size of a quart of beer. that distance gives the rifle to settle back down so you can enjoy the red and green display.

 

[DAB]

Sage Rat @ a little over 300 YDS with a 17 HMR. Lucky shot to say the least.

 

[GFO]

When the eyes were younger, and the hand was steadier, I picked up my friends 30-06, rested it on his pickup hood, and whacked a 5gal bucket hanging on a fence post across a pasture, what we later determined to be about 700yrds, it earned me a 6pack of beer. Could I do it again today? Maybe, with a bit of luck and 6pack on the table I'll try 1000yrds.

 

[chainsaw]

I hit a 400 yrd gong with my Redhawk 44 mag.Luck?you better believe it!

 

[twoclones]

450 yards, 24" iron plate, AR-15, Troy Battle Sights.
