[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 7506308, member: 575973"] Not my rifle, company gun. Max range is somewhere in the 5k yd area and max effective range on hard targets it 2k yds. I am sure in the right hands, it could take a human target out at 2 miles. IIRC, the record is 1.6 miles for this gun on a human target. You got to think, there are MANY factors that come into play shooting at those distances. Besides bullet drop, wind drift and gravity, you will now have to factor in the curvature of the earth along with bullet twist drift and the Earth's rotation into the equation. Temp and altitude will also play a much bigger role as well. Hey, Gunz4me2, I have a nice, suppressed ADL in 700 Win mag here..... But with that, the .50's are a "blast" to shoot.....I am just glad I do not have to pay for ammo! Monday I will be behind a nicely moded M1A showing it's capability's out to 800yds. [/QUOTE]
