1222 yard elk

Nice shooting! That 245 Berger is impressive! Rivals the infamous 300 gr .338 even. Congrats to shooter and his grandson - great team!

I have a switchback on an atv trail I hunt from every year. This year was my longest kill on an elk at 1222 yards from the trail at the right of my hat in the background. My grandson who is West Elk Precision built the rifle, 300 Norma Improved. He's christened this one the unicorn bull.View attachment 616568

It would be interesting to know how that bull did that to his head. Looks like the skull is broken and healed.

I am not familiar with the 300 Norma, but 245gr at 3070 is flying. Great shot and a very interesting bull! Looks like an amazing hunting ground.

They have a section for those specializing in the real long stuff…..but, it's nice that they will share with us "commoners"!

Some folks that hunt and shoot long range …..would still prefer shooter shot distances! memtb

Great shooting. Congratulations. What optic did you use to find it and what scope on the rifle?

Shumba1 · Nov 14, 2024

First off, Congrats!

Yes, would also like to know what optics were used. Guessing Nightforce, but would be great to know optic specs.

Fantastic and love the Stormy Kromer hat! My dad wore when all the time in the colder weather.
