Marrakai
I have killed a coyote at 271 yards and a kudu at a little over 300 yards with my 9,3x74R [with scope]. A caribou at 150 yards with my 450/400 3 1/4". Deer at 85 yards and hit a walking elephant bullat 120 yards, twice, then brained him at about 60 yards with my 450 No2.
I have hit several animals from point blank to the distances listed from off hand or kneeling.
No benches were available.
I just do not worry how my big bore rifle shoots off a bench. So I do not waste time testing it there.
