600 yard steel shooting with 5.56 - 9/2/2017 - Sub MOA @ 1000 (lol but for real)

As it sits today:



I'm considering upgrading the optic to a USO or S&B, but I am unsure the paint will come off the Nightforce. I don't have a need for it, and don't want to have to sell it for $500. Decisions...

I would give you $550 for it...

Also, you try a 600yd IBS target, just under 18"x18"

Per Google the 600yd IBS target:

600yd - 17.5x17.5
x-1.2''
10-2.8''
9-5.2''
8-7.6''
7-10''
6-12.4''
5-14.8''

That's no joke!

Yup, those are the correct numbers, I thought it may be more feasible to set up for yourself at 600yds.

Couldn't get my hands on a 600yd BR target. Tore through tons of them in the clubhouse, but ended up settling on this. Of course the one time I shoot at a big shootnsee I forget my spotting scope...

The big red circle is 3" and the 10 ring is 6". The 10 ring corresponds to an X-ring on high power target.

When you upgrade optics, the Nightforce will rest peacefully in your sock drawer; eventually you will need it, or someone else will pay what it's worth.

I've been told I don't let things go. It's true.

the reticle in my optic is way too thick for the type of shooting I am doing

Wanna borrow one of my NF Competitions and see how she shoots?

Great shooting!

What kind of wind were you seeing?

I really like these targets with a large strike plate and a center.

I mainly use it for 22lr past 100 to 200 yards. White face with black center gives good contrast. A light background confirms the center hits and the white face track 'misses'. Pretty cheap. I just bought their stand and used it once, works great so far.
