Interstingly, we were shooting ranges from 100-800 yards all with the same scope on the same 270WSM....and there was nothing custom about the gun, ammo or optics...it was all off the shelf stuff and this was shooting off nothing more than a gunnysack filled with sand with no rear rest. Some of the new optics we shot could quite literally turn a calibre with the ballistics of a 7mm-08 into a true long-range gun. It was a definite learning day for me. Bouhuntress was shooting an off the shelf Savage and never missed a prairie dog target at 500 yards and had no trouble ringing the gong at 800. The longest shot she pulled off, twice in a row was 879 yards...with the Savage and factory ammo......like I said....it sure opened my eyes! Those 200-300 yard shots seemed like child's play.
