How far have you shot and actually hit what you were aiming at with a traditional crosshair scope? No BDC / MIL stuff. Obviously it depends on caliber and ballistic coefficient of the projectile. Just wondering what people have done. And I mean like a 20”x 20” size target.

435 yards. Fence line to fence line on some property we used to have. Dad killed several with his 270 after they jumped the fence onto us. Hold the horizontals even with their ears and the vertical with their front legs.

I could hit a 20”x20” target a lot further than I could kill a deer.

killed a buck at a measured 625 yards with a 270Win, 130grBT, held like six feet over to hit him


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've killed a pile of groundhogs 400 plus with a .270 and 4-12 scope . Longest shot on a deer was 425 with a 30-06 BAR topped with a straight 4X weaver scope.



"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

373 yards with a 25-06. He was chasing a doe up a hill so I aim for his head and hit him high shoulder. Zoom in and you can see the black shooting house way up on the next hill

In the Army I could hit the 300 meter target with iron sights no problem, I have killed a couple of deer at 200 yds with my 308.
