There are two considerations with re to range;
Maximum effective range
Maximum accurate range, no reason why you cant plink to 1000m.... might need a 2000MoA base though !!!

So what you are saying is you need an abandoned big yellow bus at the end of the range to shoot at.

We are all just aiming in the sky at a 1000m target not aiming at plains

I was given a brand spanking 10/22 ruger at the age of 12 and used it for many years as an open sighted walk up rabbit rifle
until I handed it in after Port Arthur.
I still go for the occaisonal wander with an old BSA 5 I keep just for the fun of open sights.

I shoot mettalic silhouette at a different pistol club to my normal one and no one believes me that I hit rams at 100 with a single action ruger fitted with Mick Arden bases and Anschutz apeture sights.
They all reckon I am bullshitting.

Thinking about getting one at the moment but that they mostly do 50m shooting competitions with them has be wondering about range?
Can you regularly do 100m? 150m?
Thanks.
