Howdy all, I am a hunter now, learning and trying to shoot long distances. For me, 500 Yards would be great.

Hello danielstimothy,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Tell us a bit about your rifles and sighting equipment.

If war breaks out (as it does from time to time) and you are a long range shooter of note, indeed you could be quite valuable.

I used to live where ground squirrels were a large problem for farmers.
There I learned to hit the little crop wreckers at distance.
My favorite rifle for rodents was then the .220 Swift and 55 grain Sierra flat base spitzers @ a little over 2800 feet per second.
My scope was a vintage fixed power 10x Leupold with fine crosswires and target dot.

For game animals, such as what Africa has to offer plus what’s available here in N. America, I have practiced much for stalking in close to my quarry and using round nosed bullets, at slow to moderate velocity.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog

Welcome! Curious why 500 yards? 500 yards and Africa really don’t go together. Good luck!
