Very close to 500 yds.What I will say is flatlanders need to learn how to shoot at Altitude, lower temperatures ranging as low as 25 degrees below zero and the principles of shooting up and downhill.It’s a whole new ballgame vs a trip to the range in Oklahoma mid summer to establish a load for the mountain in the winter.There a couple of OSA members that have been on those hunts, taking their own elk, one pretty close to 600 yards uphill at probably 30 degree or steeper angle. Steep enough a snow mobile couldn’t reach it.</blockquote>
