With my beanfield rifle I don't hesitate to do 600 yards and if I can get to a solid rest I am good for 800 and if it was truly perfect (no wind) 1000 yards. I regularly shoot crop damage deer out to 300 yards with leveraction 45-70 and .450 marlin rifles. The key to any long game shots id practice. The following video if you have high-speed internet has a short tutorial at the end after it shows me taking a few long levergun shots that shows a easy method to learn long shots and can be applied to any cartridge and rifle. reflex264
