I am not a sniper by a long shot but reliably hit at 800 meters with it. Also SVD is not a sniper’s but more like marksman’s rifle.

If you reliably hit at 800 yards you are god to me shooting wise

I’m a deer Hunter

On the edwards plateau where I took shots I never shot over 350 at a whitetail standing still with a .243 or .308 or .30-06

In the hills on the tennessee river where I hunt now in Perry county near mouse tail landing....to be precise the PlanetH20 bottle water company artesian well system sits on one of our a leases...3600 acres with up and down 4-700 foot gradient ups and downs

My average shot is 40-80yards and maybe 200 in a dice field ....plowed corn bottom....Lick Creek ....

I see some mighty impressive claims here....

I like Mosins for the old cost..a decent shoulder slammer...they damn kick

But the dragon platform is not impressive to me

I’m a old man now....I want my deer to fall

I used .54 muzzle loader with 565 minie

Or a Rossi breech 35 Whelen with decent glass high is a tack driver ....250 grain core lokt

Deer fall they do t wander off lunged or ventricle hit like with a .243 or 25-06

The big Whelen pushes

I want a number one when I can find one
