great video .... I'm a .308 Winchester fan and I have to admit I had no clue that such shots could be accomplished multiple times .... I'd really like to see you fire a Henry Long Ranger .308 on a course like that 8-)

Im also a 308 fan and 243 fan. Currently trying to find a nice lightweight 308 for myself. Looking at the CZ 557 sporter right now.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I would really like to give the Long Ranger a go at true long range just to see what it could do! Maybe I'll get to try that out some time.

Great video, as always. I shot the High Power Matches while stationed in Hawaii, and we started with match grade Garands in 30-06. The next two years we shot Match Grade M14s in 308 and I loved them both. Of course the National Match course is only 600 yards, but we did shoot out to 700 to push a bit during practice. It tested MY skill set. ;)

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

if/when you do give some serious thought to contacting Anthony Imperato .... if he sees your 1200 yard video, who knows, he might be interested in such a project

That would be cool, indeed! It would be very interesting to see what a Long Ranger would do at that distance.
