Thread: Whats the longest shot youll confidently take at an animal

ive happily taken a few dozen animals out to 550, missed my first longer shot at 650. took rifle home, checked on paper and 1ft out. may of been a scope bump or somthing. dunno.

If I can get properly set up for the shot and the animal "presents" satisfactorily, I will pull the trigger on something at 400 yds and be at least 90% confidenf of a fatal shot. Quite recently I got the opportunity at a Sika stag at 405 yds. I had a great set up buf waited some time to get the side profile I wanted. Was about to give up as I thought the stag wouldn't turn but he suddenly did and I got just enough time to get the shot away. Rifles I would attempt similar shots with are my 30.06, 270W, 300 Win Mag, 300 Blaser Magnum. Wouldn't try it though with my 375 H&H or 375 Ruger although they could sling bullets that far.
