When it comes to game shots, long range is the distance I can hold steady enough with my crosshairs to feel I can make a good, clean shot. Some days that is 700 yards if I have a good enough rest, time, and conditions are right. Other days that may be 300 yards if I can't find a good enough rest, or the wind is howling, or conditions just aren't right.

I should go roll some tape and comment upon MPAJ Hasty Rucktitude,at distances beyond a given platform's zero.
MOST folks don't have the glass,that'll allow dot connection and they are quick to overlook that constant. that ain't a function of magnification,nor optical splendor...but SOLELY of mechanics.

Beyond 400yds is a good metric in the hunting world. Right about there is where, even a lot of the flat shooting rifles, have dropped or are dropping below MPBR. Yep

500yds with a 22LR,ain't that far. Hint.............. Stick, I know you don't have time to shoot all those rifles so if you want to thin the herd of one of those useless Anschutz rifles one of these days you let me know. You know how much I like blued steel and wood.... Bob

Well I have always been a deep woods hunter, 50 yards is a long shot. However you would have about three seconds to take the shot. Recently hunted with the SIL on a gas line clear cut. 300yards shoots presented themselves. Will have to learn a whole new game.

Laughing!................ That has nothing to do with making a fool of yourself trying to hit an egg at 300 yards and on video. You're the one who's bragging about how great you are and blah blah blah. Like I said in another thread,you know just enough about firearms to get yourself into trouble. And right here you proved it.

22LR at distance with a wind that is variable... How many boxes of ammo. I shot competitively with a 22LR, and anyone says they can hit successfully ever time is talking BS. Does not matter the rifle or ammo.
