[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2750163, member: 118066"] Friend has big farm we hunt at least twice a week during deer season. Mega power line cut about 75 yards wide and we can see over a thousand yards in one direction. Another smaller power line cut running diagonally. Lots of deer. We set in a old dodge pickup with the windows rolled down. Its legal! But he said Bill there a huge buck across the creek and ranged him at 802. I'm hunting with my CA Ridgeline in 7-08 120 Hammer Hunter 3140 fsp. I said I'm out of gas at that distance. He informed me that it wasn't about to surrender and we can get Daisy the Bassett hound if needed. So I got out and dropped the bipod legs used my coat as rear bag dialed to 800 , he's spotting for me. When the trigger broke I thought I can't shoot any better! Dan picked up the hammer in flight at about three hundred and later said I was watching it right to the buck. Bullet went about eight inches in front of his chest. I saw it impact into the ground. Buck was on a fairly steep slope. Wind was left to right just enough to make the broom sage move. Maybe 2 mph, He jumped and ran about ten yards and stopped but was facing me now. He went back to chasing the does ,one of which we hadn't seen. And that was that. I now have a bubble on the scope. We had shot steel at the Talladega CMP park and I was confident in the gun. Don't know if rifle cant or wind got me. That's the longest shot I've ever tried on a game animal. My longest kill shot prior was 485 using the same rifle. Not a lot of places in Alabama to get shots on deer at that distance. [/QUOTE]
