My shooting partner and myself took a 223 bolt gun I put together out to 675yds tonight with my Pvs-14 coupled up to my vortex viper hs-t. We started at 430yds with easy hits and then to 515yds again with easy hits. We both took shots off hand from the kneeling connecting easily with the target as well. We then moved 675yd with hits and called it good for the night. That's about as far as expected with a 223. Here's a pic of the rifle set up used. Target was a full size ipsc torso. Load is 69smk at 2700fps. Conditions were full moon, low on horizon but heavy overcast. No IR.
i took iPhone video of the shots at 515yds. I will load them on YouTube later.
