[QUOTE="britz, post: 182644, member: 7865"] A 22 long rifle will reach 600 yards, it will just take a while and not be very accurate. Even the fastest 22 cal will be very seseptible to wind at 600 yards. You might look at something like 243 or bigger/ faster, something that can handle the heavier bullets for range. Remington, tikka, Savage, winchester all have potential with bedding and trigger jobs. I know Tikka garantee's 1 inch - 3 shot group with premium ammo out of the box. I have mine shooting around half that with handloads. There are lots of variables, more power equals more recoil. more speed equals shorter barrel life. I just noticed you specified factory ammo. You can ge lots of match grade ammo for 223 and 308. [/QUOTE]
