What is the farthest you have ever shot and what rifle and caliber did you use?

[Panfry101]

It was a Sako TRG42 and if I'm correct it was chambered in .338 lapua. We were putting holes in paper at 1000 yards

[buckhunter]

The 300 yard line in basic training with my M16 is the furthest I've ever shot. Now ask me how close I've been with a bow and arrow and I've got stories for days.

[WA Mtnhunter]

Shot an M-2 on single fire at 2,000 yards - with scope. I could hit a truck sized target!

[Pmacc60]

WAM! your awesome!!

[Treestand]

Shot a Woodchuck at just under 600Yd with a friends 22/250,With a B&L 6-24 Scope.

[ITHACASXS]

I shot a woodchuck at just a hair over 270 yards with a Remington 700 ADL in .243 cal. with a 12x Leupold. I had never shot that far before, and since I was eating the 'chucks at the time,I always went for head shots.I was just outside of Dansville NY.

Shot a buck at 200 yards this year. I'm not much of a long range shooter so beyond that, nothing really.

Forgot to say that it was my Remington 700 in .308. dropped him like a rock!

I shoot at ranges out to 1000 yards quite often with my custom .300 Dakota. I shoot prairie dogs at that range and so far the best five shot group I've gotten while practicing at 1000 is 3.5 inches with Berger 210g bullets. Hitting a four inch target at that range is getting much easier as I practice (as long as I know the actual distance to the target and wind so I can set my scope correctly).

Getting an accurate distance read on p-dogs has been a problem for me but I just got a new range finder and I think that will really help. At ranges of 600-1000 yards, the bullets are dropping so fast, you really need a very accurate distance measurement or you don't have a chance.

I shoot out to 600 yards regularly with my Rem 700 Sendero in 25-06. I shoot p-dogs with that out to about 600 yards. I have just recently started shooting longer range hunting shots and took an antelope at 500 yards with that rifle in 2011 (didn't win a tag last year). That was a pretty easy shot since I had been shooting lots of p-dogs at that range and beyond the days prior to my hunt. An antelope looks really big at that range compared to a p-dog.

My shooting range has steel gongs at each interval out to 500 meters (542 yards) and I get lots of practice running through them quickly with several of my rifles. One of my most accurate is my .223 Bushmaster Varminter. It takes less than a minute to put a nice group in each of them. That is great practice for everyday coyote and fox shooting.

I once shot a woodchuck at 330 yards with a heavy-barreled .22-250 using a Unertl 12X scope.

[FirstBubba]

I've shot paper out to 400 yards.
Game?
My longest shot was on a white tail buck at about 200 yards, oddly, with a Marlin 336 RC in .30-30 Win. I've hunted with a .270 Win since '73, longest shot with it has been about 150/175 yards.
The Marlin was topped with a Lyman 4x.

[Clay Cooper]

1000 yards open sight, no problem!

Ground hog with a Remington 22-250 at 400yds. Burris 6x24 scope.

[Edward J. Palumbo]

We were required to qualify at 200, 300 and 500 yards with the M1 Garand and M14 rifles and I enjoyed that experience, but I've rarely taken a shot as a hunter or varminter at greater than 300 yards, simply because the ranches and properties where I hunt have fences or boundaries (and my lights are dimming at this point in life!).
