Nope, dont practice that far of a range.

If you are confident, go for it.

I'm a deer guide though... and most of my stands are set up with shots from 50-75.

Most people have a hard enough time hitting deer at 100 as much as they are shaking.

i would take the shot every day and not think twice about it, 500 yds isnt that far. every marine has shot a 500 yd range w/ a .223 round at a human torso. im accurate atleast 8 out of 10 head shots open sights. but to make sure of the kill i would go w/ the cheytac .408. if you havent seen it check it out. i want one, its only about $14,000....to answer the question again.... yes i would take the shot w/ my model 700 .308 modified

7mm mag for me, probably the best all around gun.

Yes I would with my BBR in 270 with 52.5 gr IMR 4350 powder, 150grSierra Game King boat tails.

Who is the guy that said he'd use open sights? Come on now.

I agree 400 yards is a long shot. Average shots when we go hunting is between 75 yards to 250 yards. Using a 7mm. The longest shots are border 300 yards. But that is what we practice year round. I was raised to respect hunting and the outdoors.

Now, if it were say an elk, would you still shoot?

Holy thread resurection Batman!!!!

Yeah. I got to thinking about how many people had replied and I figured with the new faces since last fall and winter alot of people never saw it.
