A .22-250 is an excellent caliber/cartridge for animals under +/-75lbs (or more) at +/-300-500 yards (or more).

Lastly, there was a time when the.308 was considered a "long range" caliber/cartridge (now it's a .338 Laupa).

BTW - You're in the ballpark thought - couple nice gun too !!!
Pretty much sums it up. Nothing to add.
