I had a good group at 100 yards today. I was pretty proud I hit a cactus pad with my 30-30
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Cheytac must be a BAD BOY!!!
It is Buzz you should get one. Hill Country Rifles builds them and they are working on an upgraded version of the 375 for better performance at 2 miles. If you order now you will be ready for THF Tactical Match. I'm on it

I shot a 10 inch plate at 200 yds with a 10/22 once. Kentucky windage and holdover and did it on like my 4th try. That little billets drops a lot, if I remember correctly it was like 4+ Ft holdover for drop. I thought that was impressive but 3 Miles is a little better haha

There is also a video link on this link. http://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/m...-away/937511960 TUSCOLA, Texas (KTAB) - From the Winters Freeway straight down South First to Lincoln Middle School is just shy of three miles. Think you can hit a target with a rifle from that distance? It's been done by a Tuscola man. Bill Poor has been shooting for a while now. "Probably on and off for the last 20 years," Poor said. But three years ago he set his sights on a goal. "I have actually hit 4,020 yards a couple of months back in Brenham, Texas and then I hit two miles last year," Poor said. Poor wanted to hold the record for the longest shot. "A guy by the name of Charlie Milton actually hit 5,000 yards probably six months ago in Utah and so that was the last record," Poor said. He finally made it happen. "And it's just been building up and trying to beat this," Poor said. It took a custom built rifle and a lot of science. "You know the atmosphere and the density altitude and how the bullet travels and how high it will go," Poor said. In just eight shots, Poor was able to hit his target three miles away. It's uncertain whether Guinness World Records will accept Poor's shot as the new standard because of the scope on his rifle.

He did it locally, too.
Why would the scope disqualify him?
