|  long range shooting?
hey guys i was wondering if anyone else on this forum does any long range shooting? i have a custom built rifle on a savage action that has all been built by my brother and i. it will hold MOA out to 700 yards (well that has been my best might do even better with someone else behind the rifle) just wondering if i'm the only one or not. I'll try and get some pictures up soon of my rifle. Post any pics or vids of ya'll rifles

Ive got a k98 mauser action with a 25-06 barrel that I have been building. I usually only shoot 100yd but I have tried it out to 400yds and I can hit what Im aiming at  |

I'll try to drum up some pics, but I love long range shooting. I have a Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm Rem. Mag. with a Leupold 3x9 scope on it. I have had it for years for hunting but I have been playing with it recently to see how far out I can reach with it.

 I did put a giant hole in a binder clip once, while aiming at the bulls-eye (100yd shot, bulls eye was 2 feet from the clip). One MOA at 700 yards is quite impressive. I've never shot at a range over 100 yards. I do enjoy popping golf balls at that distance with my Ruger 10-22 and Weaver scope. Still trying to make that shot with the 16in AR15 (folding iron sights).. | |

like I said... all thats left is the action. Everything else is either custom or off the shelf parts. Although, i have heard of some amazing feats done with stock rifles. I want to find a longer range that I can use, around here long range ranges are very rare. | |

Rem 700 PSS on 300wm with a Kahles 3x9 TDS scope. Shoot out to 500 all the time on the cottage range.

I no longer have access to much over 150 yards. I have a a Remington 700 VLS in .22-250 that has picked off ground hogs at 300-400 yards. I also have a custom Ruger 10-22 that's been converted to a .17 Mark II. It'll hit whatever I aim at within 150 yards. |

Remington 700 30-06 was the orig. base but after all the mods about the only thing orig. is it still a 30-06. I was a Marine rifle range coach so 700 yds. is just fun. I don't have a connection any more to that kind of range. I would like to get my hands on a 50 and see what hitting something at a 1000 or better would be like.  |
