you guys are awesome.... long range for a red ryder bb gun is 125 yds, for a 22 lr I'd say 300, guess it all depends on what caliber, gun. scope combo your useing and what you are hunting...paper or game. With my bow 80 yds is long range. I stated that I like the long poke...that means that I like to stretch it out with anything that I am useing. My longest coyote kill is 365 yds, my longest deer kill is just over 200 and my longest pig kill is at 150, my longest ground squirrel kill at just under 500 yds. but I punch paper and steel out to 800. So, I guess without sounding like I am trying to start an arguement, the long poke is purely subjective and depends upon alot of variables, for me, any shot past 300 on game is a long shot.

wow, you guys are rough...yep, I like the "long poke" even with my featherwieght...it is a hunting rifle and perfectly capable at taking game at 1/4 mile ( 7-08 ), half minute with the 140 bergers. As for the stock...well, think it's silly all you want, I don't want to paint that wood...maybe I'll restock it someday and then everything will be alright with the world.
Yes, he certainly does...and thanks for the camopliment.
