Thread: 3800yrd Shot with 375 Cheytac

Why do it?
Because you can

Why climb the mountain??
Because its there

And why not tell anyone? Because nay sayers will call you a liar because they don't believe you........most times because they cant do it themselves

Here's a vid of a mate of mine shooting his 375 a little while back

Why do it? Because it's Fun! Don't care for the records etc. Would I purchase a Cheytac if I had the dosh? Of course.

The thing is if these Guys had the right chamber, barrel twist & length they could shoot a bigger bullet with a higher BC much faster & further

5K isn't impossible, mighty difficult in this country though with the proximately of the sea & endless hills/mountains....

High in the American or other deserts would make life a hell of a lot easier, Baro/altitude makes a big difference.

Everything is relative...

Kinda depends on where a projectile for a particular chambering goes trans-sonic and how much further beyond that point you can shoot consistently... So 1600yds with a 308 may well be more "impressive" than what these guys achieved.

The more I do long range and extreme long range shooting, the more I believe that group shooting at distance is a much higher indicator of skill than a single hit. To put 10 out of 10 shots into a 2 MOA group at 1000yds to me shows significantly more skill than "groups" containing 1, 2 or 3 shots out of 10 (or even more).

Just my view, and your mileage may vary

They arnt twisted mate and I wasn't really having a go at you. I often hear comments from guys who do shoot ELR but are reluctant to share for fear of mockery or just cant be arsed with the negative feedback. Those of us that are interested miss out due to this. Guess that was all I was trying to say.

no hard feelings.Ive more thAn a passing interest ,having extensive documentation on the originals -the canadian sniping det who set the record distance for hits in Afghanistan ,.very bloody interesting yarn that .course record since breoken by a pommy sniper from the household cavalry div also against taliban in afghanistan.
Incidentally I have whilst in the TF seen an open sighted SLR used to drop a target at a measured 700m.The shooter was renowned as a crackshot with the SLR.
