647 yards as paced off by about 2 dozen people on whitetail buck. It was mid day of a opening day for modern firearm season and I had the whole driveway & yard full with 4x4s, jeeps, trucks, and 4 wheelers where people had missed, scope conked out, needing zeroing, or whatever. They had me mounting scopes, zeroing, trigger jobs, etc, and we were all gathered around my home made bench rest bench when all of a sudden it sounded like WW3 was happening down towards the river across the field and on the next farm down. We were watching and a dandy 6 pointer started hobbling across the field I used, just barely this side of the 650 yard wind flag, swinging a front leg. Several of the guys were hollering somebody shoot that buck so after asking if anybody would tag it if shot, and they said yes, I put my deer rifle I'd built on a Browning A-Bolt action on the front rest/rear bag, dialed in for 650, and shot. At the shot he dropped like a sack of potatoes. Several walked out to the buck, all the while arguing how far away it was & counting paces. We averaged the paces and he was at 647 yards. That pretty much cemented my local rep as a good shot even though I was shooting off the bench & had regularly practiced all the way to the end of the field (about 2,000' bluff just past end of field served as backstop), and I saw exactly which wind flag he had just went in front of. I'd never have shot at a buck that far away but he was already seriously wounded, unlikely to survive a busted shoulder.

The longest shot I ever took on a elk was 419 yards, lasered after I made the shot. I'd drawn a tag in the eastern Ky lotto for bull tag and now being disabled, lost out on a BUNCH of opportunities but finally saw him & shot from the top of 1 hill, to the top of the next, with no way of getting closer. It was either shoot him from where I was at, or eat the tag. I sat down, braced, and rested the 300 mag built on Browning A-Bolt action on the trigger sticks, and touched 1 off. It nailed him exactly where I wanted, but if he went 30' he would have dropped/slid down about 800-1,000' and we never would have gotten him out so I touched another off & anchored him. Those are the 2 longest shots I've ever attempted on live game animals. Not bragging distances & still fairly close to the real long distance shooters, but I was happier than a pig in a new wallow, with a grin on my face you couldn't have cut off!

2 moose. One at 335 meters and the other at 230 meters. 1 shot each. Both fell immediately. Using a model 783 Remington 7 mm mag and Hornady Superformance SST. Where I hunt, i doubt I will see a moose at less than 150 meters. Distances measured with GPS.

230 yards one shot each on a Greater Kudu and Zebra with my 280Rem and 150gr Barnes bullets.

I use my exceptional stalking skills to avoid the need to use my exceptional shooting skills...:-) I shoot a 308.

Deer - 200 yards, and I low crawled 50 yards to get that shot.
Antelope - 275 yards and I low crawled 70 yards to get that shot.

I am not sure I would ever take a shot beyond 300 yards and have passed on several in the past. Not that it can't be done, its just not my idea of hunting where the connection with the game is an essential element of the hunt.

Almost every animal I shot has been under 100 yards except an antelope 276, whitetail buck 388 and mule deer buck 437. All with the same rifle. A Rem 700 bdl in 270 Win. The whitetail had popped out on a pole line and stood broadside feeding. The mulie we glassed from about a mile and a half out at 8 O'clock in the morning and it took until 1:15 in the afternoon until we finally found him again and I was able to take the shot from a prone position and a solid rest.
