I'm not saying that I'm gonna go out and look for a 400 yd shot, but if I'm ever in a situation that it's all I have, I would like a rifle that would do the job when asked.
I've only shot one deer that was beyond 50yds, so I believe that I do get in close enough, thanks for the concern though.

What's the recommended energy at point of impact to take down elk/moose/bear?
