    With a ds mk3, air ranger, huntsman classic and a couple others in 177 sights set at about 50 yards I normally go one bobble to hit coke cans at 100 yards. Myself I prefer long distance plinking

    My prefered mag vs dot ratio expires at 60yds .22 and 80yds .177. My setup allows a hit to a golf ball in winds up to 20mph with pretty much 95% success. No finger in the air just solid data.
    Air Arms S410F Classic .177 (AGS 6-24x50 SFIR), Walther Rotex RM8 Black .22 (Hawke Vantage 3-12x50 AO IR), Walther Century .177 (Walther ZF 6x42 AO, BKL one piece mount), Remington Express AR1 .22 (AGS 6-24x50 SFIR, BKL one piece mount ss),

    Golf ball targets.

    I have two chums who learned that golf balls shoot back. Both were very lucky not to catch the retuning pellet in their eyes. Pellets come back from 40yds with enough energy to break skin and draw blood on thick sculls. They now have some interesting scars to show for the experiences.

    I shoot my hunting setup at the range a majority of the time. Map6 hawke X7 mag 70-75 yard golf balls are easy meat for a benched S200 . Hit them freestanding from time to time... We have a Quality Street tin at near 80 for standing shots.. I smack that about with my .22 77..

    I know of a chap who hit a Stella can at 250yd with sub 12! After seeing a woman do it on YouTube... I've not bothered to look that one up.

    If you change your mind, I suspect you're looking for username 'cubleycat'.

    i only hunt so between 20-30 yards. i dont know meters. thats where my gas and leccy come from.
    did get a rabbit at at nearly a quarter of a mile. me and my mate nearly had heart attacks when it fell over. but i did download chairgun and held over a lot.
    nothing to be proud of but i shot a rabbit twice, or three if it counts. me and my mate were out on our tea break (understand my mukker was a copper) i shot a bunny first shot heard a hit. nothing happened. second shot it went straight down. went and fetched it and found holes through both of its ears. as i say nearly a quarter of a mile.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    Quite an achievement that. Acording to Chairgun if I was firing a .22 Exact at 15.9gn at just under 12fpe and a normal zero of 30yds I would need to give it 3254in of holdover to hit the rabbit at 400yds ( Chairgun doesn't go above that on my app) and repeat that 3 times. I wouldn't try it though as Chairgun tells me that if I managed to hit the rabbit at all the pellet would only have 0.7ftlb of energy so it's more than likely your rabbit died of fright or old age waiting for the 5secs from firing to impact each time.
    Not to be recommended but amazing shooting and much better hearing than I have to hear the impact of a pellet at a quarter of a mile!
