I dont think the original poster meant shooting a rabbit at 230m with a 22lr, just shooting a rabbit fullstop at 230mQuote:

looks like i got dragged into this thread...All you need is a stirling .14p bolt actiion .22lr rifle:D
If you want to be really cool then get a 7mm dakota or 7mm stw.
They're the real big 7's. Not a piddly little rem mag hahah
Way hey:thumbsup: @Dundee is back from the pond:XD::thumbsup::PQuote:

Stalk close...shoot cleanly. That's what I was taught. Back in the-day, we called this 'hunting'. Too many factors at very long range, part of hunting, has to be ethics ? Just saying
This has turned into a somewhat entertaining thread for views on long range, but remember back to this one?
https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....hunting-38835/
It will never be beat for three reasons:
1. 700m instead of 600m was proposed,
2. The OP kicked off with gems like " We're both new to any sort of long range hunting" followed by "firstly do the hunt and aim blindly shoot in the general direction of the animal in the hope that a bullet grazes it's hide".
3. The OP was then driven off the forum and they never posted on here again.
So the answer is clearly a Remington 5R in 300 Win Mag.
It is quite amusing.Quote:

Very similar to people asking a question such as which calibre 270 or 308. Answer 243 brilliant haha
You'll never get most people shooting out to 600M, most get stuck back only at 6.5CMQuote:

Jesus Micky, yet with the right pill and placement the 223 works just fine on deer and pigs well past 200.Quote:

That’s because the answer is the .243 out of those two optionsQuote:
