Quoted:

So what is the verified maximum distance possible at this range ?

490 yds on the lower, and if you are willing to hump up another hill you can get about 550yds.

Prob with it is, 1.. It is a hell of a hump to set up targets so something Biodegradable or maybe blow up condoms or bigger balloons. and 2 even though this place is double gated there is access avail to foot traffic (but we are talking a couple of miles to get where we would be) the gate gives access to DNR/USFS and a road that runs between the fireing point and the impact area(even though you would be shooting about 500 feet over the top of the road.)

Sounds like too much work for too little distance, especially for a 50bmg.

keep looking

your right, kinda short for 50 but for a 308, or something along that line, it is a good deal if done right. I guess my point is, This is not a blasting pit.

And as far as Too much work...Did I mention I have access to the gates?...I can drive all the way to the shooting point and halfway to the impact area...

It is just the setting up of the targest that would be a bitch.

I'll keep looking.

That all being said, I think I have a new place to shoot that, but it is one of those types where you hump in in the morning to set up your targets and then come back a hour of so later to shoot the rest of the day and then go clean up your mess...You will need a good spotting scope and a good pair of hiking boots.

THAT'S why I bought a LaserRangeFinder...although the longer distance version would most likely apply for this particular 'problem'.
Somebody use their Credit Card and get an expensive LONG RANGE laser doohickey...

Not blasting the .50. It has its place and provides capabilities no other cartridge can. And for that reason you must get both

And that is what it is all about!...

I have a strong wanting for the .50 now ~~Thanks asshole you know who you are!~~ But I sure would hate to have to hump that bitch if it ever came down to it.

Well I guess you can count me out. Imangine Gibby hiking for than 20 yards?! Just the mere thought sends shivers down my spine.

I had a BUSHNELL yardargepro800 that was very accurite out to 999 yards or meters but the thing is very very old and doesnt work anymore.

I intend to replace it but havent found a model suitable for a 50bmg yet in an affordable price range, they exist in the higher price ranges but not for less than $1000.

I hear there are smaller optical range finders now, i may look into them

Come on now, I know you want to see how well the cams on a Leupold 3.5-10M3 work.

One minute elevation clicks make for fast come ups.
