The 350 MOA scope mount has a visible amount of tilt.
I hit the buffalo at 550 yds, with my 357 revolver, once. Is that a record?

I find Eli's shooting way more impressive.

I'm amazed this is even counted. If the shooter hits 3 of 5, maybe even 2 of 5, at range, then mark it down as a record, but 1 out of 60+ shots just means they shot enough rounds to get lucky.

I semi agree but 4.4 miles - 7744 yards.
2500' above line of sight.
53 moa of drift. Thats still a bunch of drift calculated and estimated.

Don’t tell Rokslide folks but they did it with a Vortex scope. The horror!!!

 

[MuleyFever]

Thats because with a Vortex you dont actually have to adjust. You just shoot 69 times and eventually the scopes variation will put one on target.

Technically, the 16" guns on the Battleship were rifled guns!

A vortex for target shooting sounds about right to me, sure wouldn't use one for anything else. Maybe to beat a snake or something over the head.

24.5 second flight time is wild

 

[Billy Goat]

The target’s dimensions (120 inches by 92 inches) made it 1.54 MOA wide and 1.18 MOA tall at 4.4 miles. At 1,000 yards that would be a sporty target—basically 15.4 by 11.8 inches

^ for those that were wondering.

Article is worth a read, the spotters downrange was something I didn’t consider.

I'm most impressed with them hitting the dot, not just the huge plate! That's gotta count for something.

 

[WCB]

1.44% of the time, they hit it every time.

 

[dsotm]

So stupid... that's artillery not precision shooting

 

[Unckebob]

I am not interested in doing ultra long range shooting, but I was intrigued by that crazy scope rail and the contraptions on the end of the scope (mirrors?)

 

[Rock-o]

I'm not. Not one bit. After 68 tries that was pure accident that it even hit anywhere on the entirety of the target.

Regardless, it was done once. Can it be repeated? My money says no. I'll give them 10 more shots and I bet I'd win.

Every blind squirrel.....

Went to a range yesterday I was shooting 500 and some other guys were shooting 1750 kinda made me feel like I should’ve just brought my old 10/22 and plinked the small targets but I’m the upside I was ringing steel at 500 with a new gun and scope setup so I was happy

Never worry about what other guys at the range are doing.
