Very impressive link, Mike ! 2051 yds is a long shot on a Chuck, and he pulled it off, this time! How many do you think he crippeled at half that distance for every one he killed outright?

His equipment is impressive as well, no expense spared here, for sure. Simply beautifully done rifle!

I really have no problem with guys shooting P-dogs, and Chucks at those distances, as much as I do the guys who take this a bit further, and start shooting ELK, pigs and Deer at these ranges. All that is needed to get a gut shot is a single step from the target, and at 2000yds, he may not show sign of being hit. As long as the shooter goes to the spot where the animal was standing when the shot was fired to look for sign of a hit,which may be only a little cut hair, I have no problem even at 2000yds, but I doubt that will happen, especially in canyon country where most elk and deer are seen at long range. Getting to that spot 2000yds away, may take three or four miles of hikeing to reach. I sencerly doubt anyone will leave his 200 lbs of gear there while he goes to see, and I'm sure he will not carry it along.

My first post was more a joke than anything else, except for the story about the "know nothing" GIs, that really happened! However, shooting at live animals at 3000M is no joke! Paper or steel targets is another matter alltogether. Seekher, is most likely the exception, but I would bet most hunters of elk, and deer couldn't put two out of ten rounds on a 55 gallon drum at 500yds,under hunting conditions, mush less at 3000M!

This is target shooting, and should be kept in that vain, IMO.

I got a PM from Seekher, that led me to believe maybe I hurt his feelings with my post! That was not my intention at all, and, as I said, was more of a joke than anything else! I'm sorry if my post upset anyone.

It really is not my call, as to what others do, as long as it is legal, but I wouldn't shoot animals at those ranges, or even half that range,even if I could hit a stationary target every shot, and 3000M is simply takeing things "TOO FAR",on live animals, IMO!

I'll leave this to you guys from here! BYE!'

................Dang! 3000M ???????????????
