Accuracy wise, this gun will keep 5-shots inside 2" at 600 yards and on our best shooting days, it will keep 5-shots inside 5" at 1,000 yards but the norm is around 7". We shoot deer and not competition but have had a few Bench Rest shooters shoot groups around the 3" range with our guns and loads...
This gun was built with the express purpose of shooting deer at long-range and when loaded with Hornady's 105 gr. A-MAX bullet to just over 3,200 fps., it has proven to be a very deadly combination in this gun....
Here is how we set up to shoot deer at long range -
We have 3 fields that we shoot at and the description of one describes them all. These fields are an average of 300 yards wide and over 1,300 yards in length...
All shooting is done from a concrete bench set up at the one yard line, which is at the edge of a wood line...
Starting at a measured 600 yards, on each side of these fields we have 10 foot tall poles set in the ground and spaced out in 50 yard increments. 600, 650, 700, 750, etc., etc....
To each of these poles is an 8" wide ribbon that are a foot shorter than the poles - to keep the flag from dragging the ground. At 600 yards, the ribbon is white, at 650 yards the ribbon is red, at 700 yards the ribbon is yellow, and so forth and so on...
Okay, now say that a deer comes out on the left side of the field by a yellow flag. We go to our chart and see that the yellow flag is 700 yards. We then go to the chart for our scope and dial-in to 700 yards. We check these same flags for wind and if everything looks good, the cross hairs go on the top point of the front shoulder and the trigger is gently squeezed. just like that, there's a deer on the ground...
We have been shooting deer like this for 9 years now and to date, we have never lost a deer or wounded a deer and so far, we have never had to shoot a deer twice. Something we are all proud of and we do take pride in our ability to shoot and cleanly harvest deer at long range...
To date, our farthest kill has been 1,680 yards with our average shot being between 900 and 1,100 yards...
Our favorite calibers are the 6mm-284, 300 Jr., 280 Ackley Improved, 7mm STW and 300 Weatherby....
Anything else, just ask!
