saw that...makes me laugh the amount of trash talking because of the number of rounds it took to hit the target....."oh it shouldn't be a world record because it took you so many rounds to hit the target".....whatever....let me see when you hit it at that distance.

well done!

Scope base lol



I did 8km with my hunting rifle, chambered in good ol’ 30-06, uphill, 100km/hr cross winds, 10 ft of snow and a hole in my jeans for a specially designed monopod.

That's incredible

Kind of cool to see the lengths (+$) someone will go to in order to achieve something like this.

Wasn't it like 60 shots walked in. Sorry i didnt re read it. But it this was in the long range group talk group on reddit. Probably should of tried a 2 hit and not stopped.

Some world records are more impressive than others. Was this truly a feat of remarkable skill or would anybody with enough time and money be able to pull this off. I suspect the latter. A 1km shot with irons gets me more excited. This pales in comparison to the record set by JTF2 in 2017.

Wow, that is outstanding. I wonder what the target looks like through the scope at 7.7 km.

I prefer to see it as guys and gals experimenting out on the ragged edge showing what is possible.
