Resolution in that S&B was better than any other scope I've owned, better even than my atacr's.
What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

Picked up a Volquartsen 22 mag pistol yesterday to replace the 454 Casull for handgun marmots. Going to try get one at a mile this year with a 300 Norma Improved that's been shooting half moa at that distance in calm conditions.I've followed you on this site for over a decade.

99% of my kills are inside of 200 yards. When you kill something out past 400 you remember it. Because it rarely happens to me.

Especially down south…..unless you're hunt'n a bean field or a power line! memtb
First kill with my single shot pistol was 251 yds. Heart was thumping so hard I missed the first shot. The crosshairs were jumping off the deer. Anger overcame adrenaline and brought it home with the second.
Watched for my hunting buddy shooting at a doe we ranged 770 yards. He was using a Nikon BDC reticle and ran it through sterlok app. Gave him the hold and watched him shoot over it by about ten yards, we were on a mega power line cut. On a hill side so bullet impact was easy to spot. the doe ran to the spot the bullet hit and shot number two killed her on the spot. I would never have stuff like that happen to me!

My kid pulled a similar shot the year before last with my Savage Striker in 7-08. He has hundreds of rounds through the pistol over the summer and early fall and he had to hunt pretty hard just to get a shot. When the time came he dropped the deer with 1 shot at 250 yards. He had to compensate a bit for wind and his tendency to pull shots a bit shooting the pistol 1 handed. He uses his off hand as a rear support and a bipod up front.
My farthest to date is a 5pt. Bull at 1244 yards. 338 Edge , 300 gr bergers.
This was after my Spring shooting at 3027 yards on steel . 3 shots in a 26" 3/4 group !
One of my best years behind the Ausum 338 Edge !

Embarrassed to say it but furthest was around 70 yards, I am in MA and only have hunted here and around New England.
All of my firearm harvests this past season were in bow range
