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

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.

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.

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.
