Thread: 2910 yards with the 425 CEB

Madjon & I took the 375 DCM for a rock shoot again last weekend.

I wanted to attempt 3000 yards, with the help of Reds Terrapin I managed to get a range on some rocks at 2910 yards, 2660 meters for the non-dinosaurs out there.

I struck a few issues other than a flat tire & bruised shin & knee I suffered after the shooting

I changed the rock I was shooting at for some reason ? old timers disease I guess & they are quite small at 0.5 x 0.75 moa

I also had my elbow against a rock in the ground a couple of times which wasn't particularly pleasent with the recoil

It all went pretty well really once the clean barrel settled down, until the wind got up a little bit & started pushing the projectiles around.

Looking forward to going back up there for another go once things have dried up abit so we can spot the shots a little easier.

The Nightforce ATACR is a really nice bit of kit, very easy to see whats going on, once the barrel mirage dissipates.

Geez. I'd be waving a white flag if I was on the hill! Haha. Cool vid, sounds like you're sending a missile!

Great video - what sort of size do you reckon that rock would be?

About 300mm across?

It is pretty hard to tell accurately with the reticle but it looked like 0.5 x 0.75 moa wide so approximately 386mm high by 580mm wide ish

Good shooting greg farkn long long long ways away might have to upgrade the 338rum

Love the way the impact is sooooo long after the shot.

You reakon that first shot fucked off over the hill? I wonder if it's landed yet

It won't have gone far if it did, they drop 900mm in 10 metres at 2910 yards & it only gets worse very quickly

you need a bigger gun lol

I think you are right

A mere 20k and your good to go.

If you are talking about the Steyr I can get one for less than $13k

Think I would prefer the denel ntw-20. At 30kgs might be bit hard to drag through the bush though. Got the longest confirmed kill the other day.

I might have to come down and watch this thing in action some time. Good excuse to visit my mate who just moved to nelson

Not being a prick but would you LR shooters try and shoot an animal at that distance?

Fark it would be a speck on the hill Even the binos would be straining. Bloody impressive thou

Shit no. Well maybe a spur wing, but I hate those fucken things

Edit: I should add I'm not even remotely near the class of any of these crazy dudes on here. Need to put in the practice that these guys do.
