775 yd Coyote

[bullcanyon]

Very impressive.  You've done your homework and it paid off.  Good job!!

[Dan-o]

Wow.....

Just Wow....

A coyote 775 yards from me would be pretty darn safe, I think.

Its the gun and the scope. I like to think my handloading has a little to do with it too. Oh and the ton of money i have shot at the hillsides the last year

[Dan-o]

Still......   That yote had to feel pretty safe.......

I switched to the hornady a-max because the Bergers were killing my wallet. I am thinking about even going with the barnes match burners or nosler custom comps. But the performance of the hornadys and Bergers are awsome at long range.

[Dan-o]

Will you hunt deer with that set up?   (sorry to thread jack - back to yotes in a minute).

[Bob33]

How are you able to range within a few yards at that distance? I think it would be difficult to know if you ranged the coyote or a bush 20 yards in front of or behind it.

[snowshoes22]

I would shoot the Berger hunting VLD but the a-max is not recomended. I'm pretty sure some people do and they most likely would work fine but i think the bergers would be better.

Good question. I got lucky and the coyote was standing on a near vertical rock shelf. The range finder picked it up easily. If it was in the brush i would not have been able to pick it up.

Wow - what a shot!!

 

[Dan-o]

I'm still not sure i could see a yote at that range......

[204chucknorris]

Awesome!

That's waaaaaay out there, congrats!  I like your rifle and scope setup.  What do you think of that Vortex range finder and what others have you got experience with?  Not sure I could range a shot at that distance, probably because I'd never see anything out that far to shoot at.

Wow nice shooting!

The Ranger is far better than the bushnells and the nikons i have used in the past. Its not a Leica or Swaro but it works good to 400 to 500 with a minimal target. On perfect days it will pick up a deer at 700. For the price i am really happy with it. It does not work when snowing i have found out. It will not range past 20 yards if there are snowflakes in the air. With a big target it will range past 1000 yards
