[QUOTE="Adam Williams, post: 51573, member: 203"] Like I said I'm new to long range shooting. Maybe you guys can explain to me how inserts or tapered rings work to give you more adjustment. I'm intriged by taking game cleanly at 1000 yards and beyond. I have taken game at what most would consider long range but probably not you guys. I took a bull elk last year by holding over at 701yards as measured by my rangefinder. I'll be the first to admit I got real lucky (broke his back on the last round in the gun). I would never have taken that shot if I didn't already have him wounded from shorter shots. I've taken a few deer at close to 500 yards also holding over with flat shooting rifles but I can clearly see that using your techniques I can extend my effective range much further W/O having to guesstimate holdover. My rifle of choice for that elk hunt was a remington 700 BDL SS in 300 Ultra mag shooting 180 gr. Partition handloads. This rifle does'nt have the accuracy I will need to extend my range much further so I've ordered the same caliber in a sendero stainless fluted. How far can I expect to be able to take game cleanly with this setup? As I said I'll be shooting 220 or 240 gr. Matchkings. I will primarily be hunting powerlines and bottom hayfields here in Mo.
