Good to see they showed the process and misses to get on target.

Love that 200 moa rail.
Cool bit of video.
World record eh? I wonder if they have a limit on the number of shots it takes to hit it or do they just keep lobbing them down there until one hits???
OK I have to agree @Shearer it seems a questionable.Quote:

But I did enjoy the vid and the fact they didnt try to make out it was a first round hit.
This record has just been bitten by a French guy at 3695m=4040 yards with a 408 cheytac.

Translation please Nicolas :D

The guy and his team waited the end of a good day, when the wind dies down to do his shooting .
On the third attempt he put his third and forth bullet into the target.
Their next challenge is 4 km!!!
yeah just like that milk jug challenge you get 10 shotsQuote:

Nice rifle!
I thought the same Craigc
But i guess if you book the ranch and have everything set up you would just go for it anyway :)
He's about a year behind & a few hundred yards short of a Kiwi :thumbsup:
There's a few Guys poking around that don't go out of their way to advertise the fact :)
cant see the point myself -if the bloody targets that far away -ring your friendly artilleryman and get em to dust off the old 105mm howitzer and lob a round onto the target -wouldnt just hit it -it'd fuck the thing completely.more than a little ego massaging going on me thinks!
And that attitude/post is why we don't see our local guys posting about their successes. If you are not into it thats fine, but why put those that are down? To 'me' what you have posted is pointless. Just my opinion of courseQuote:

And why not tell anyone? Because nay sayers will call you a liar because they don't believe you........most times because they cant do it themselves :D
Here's a vid of a mate of mine shooting his 375 a little while back

Why do it? Because it's Fun! Don't care for the records etc. Would I purchase a Cheytac if I had the dosh? Of course.
The thing is if these Guys had the right chamber, barrel twist & length they could shoot a bigger bullet with a higher BC much faster & further :thumbsup:

Everything is relative...
Kinda depends on where a projectile for a particular chambering goes trans-sonic and how much further beyond that point you can shoot consistently... So 1600yds with a 308 may well be more "impressive" than what these guys achieved.
The more I do long range and extreme long range shooting, the more I believe that group shooting at distance is a much higher indicator of skill than a single hit. To put 10 out of 10 shots into a 2 MOA group at 1000yds to me shows significantly more skill than "groups" containing 1, 2 or 3 shots out of 10 (or even more).
Just my view, and your mileage may vary ;)
You mean a suppressed Bush Pigged 270 Tikka :thumbsup:Quote:

They arnt twisted mate and I wasn't really having a go at you. I often hear comments from guys who do shoot ELR but are reluctant to share for fear of mockery or just cant be arsed with the negative feedback. Those of us that are interested miss out due to this. Guess that was all I was trying to say. :PQuote:

Incidentally I have whilst in the TF seen an open sighted SLR used to drop a target at a measured 700m.The shooter was renowned as a crackshot with the SLR.
