I have a Model 70 with a Q.U.E. muzzle break on it. I am running a Shepherd scope on it which has a reticle that allows you to take shots up to 1000 yards away. I have never took a shot more than 400 yards with it but with more practice it would be very do-able. As for the cartridge and gun, it is way to big for the animals we have here in Hawaii and the meat damage is substantial. But I was always told "its better to bruise um than loose um!" and the .338 certainly does that.
