smokin Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 was just thinking what's the furthest anyone knows of a rabbit being taken in this fair isle ? . what set it off was two personal bests the other night one straight after the other , first up was my longest kill with the 22-250 a rabbit at 696 yards with a 53gr vmax @3900fps almost 10 moa dialled in and a first round hit ! the second was a friend with his 22-284 shooting 80 gr vld at @3680fps 775 yards ! second round hit , first round fell two left aright added 1/4min left wind and bingo ! . That 22-284 is something to behold , plans are already a foot for a second build using a more suitable twist to shoot the 90 gr vld , should be a good hammer .

happyhunter Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Damn fine shooting with the .22/250 it a long way to sent such a small bullet accurately the wind must of been good for you! Sir-slots-alot and si-snipe have some cracking longrange kills on YouTube out to 900yards I think. My PB with the .22/250 and a 55grn v-max is the 620 mark. Keep up the good work.

1967spud Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 A very emotive subject to be honest and probably one best left alone. For the sake of forum morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

247sniper Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Shooting clay pigeons at 500 yards is good fun and challanging, when conditions are good its boring Need the wind to blow a bit to make it challanging! steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
