I have a TIkka T3 Lite Stainless in .30-06 that is by far the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. The action is the smoothest I have yet to see, and can be easily operated with your pinky all day. Great guns!
Would be more interesting if you actually wanted to hit something like a target. Maybe a trashcan lid so you'd potentially get some report on a hit. This was lame.
@TheGreatestJoe Not sure if your serious in thinking that i had a mile long string.. and that the wind didn't pull the string and target over.. But, if you are serious, always remember to take your helmet with you when you play outside, and never forget those crayons to keep you happy :)
@jamesjamesa i agree totally, fantastic rifles, but as you said, can be quite hard to take down larger animals in one shot. thanks for the comment mate!
@powertecjamie That math works if the bullet travels in a perfectly straight path at a constant speed. The bullet must be fired in an arc which causes it to actually travel a greater distance, and the bullet is slowing constantly upon its exit from the muzzle.
great shot mate, ive shot my 30:06 out past 700 yards that was hard geting it on paper cross winds are a killer when there coming from 2 diffent directions
@RoboVT102 If you could hear it,or expect it. Anybody being directly shot at will get hit before they even knew anything was fired. Until after the bullet passes them do they realise...lol
@palanticdreams thanks mate, quite a bit, i was supprised at how much the bullet curved due to the wind, it was about 3-4 metres. thanks for the comment :)
nice shot but that just doesn't look like a mile. Hard to tell because you're on a hill and those trees look weird. I'm used to the height pine for judging.
.222 is a nice rifle for doing long shots, but you had a bipod, and obviously had been marking shot for awhile. Granted when doing vids like this is nice, my personal best is my 30-06 1600 yards three shots in row, no bipod. And then taking down a deer appx 1500 yards away during a hunt. Lets see you shoot some higher caliber shots and not use bipod to make the shots. then you can color me impressed
@amyhuk Haha ok let's back up a bit. Can you just run me through how you figured that out?
Here's how I see it; An idiotic statement from a Yank about judging distance based on your knowledge of Australian trees, for the use of long range shooting when you don't even know how to operate a Ruger 10/22 action and are stupid enough to shoot glass bottles that someone or some animal might walk on. (Yeh I watched your videos) ... Just keep your thoughts to yourself, ok champion.
@mikeb1444 possibly, depends on what type of wood the 2x4 is, if it was a hard wood or even metal then it would definatley ricochet, a bullet will richochet off water at about 30 degrees.
hey i'm sure you remember me *one of your first doubters* since alot of people STILL don't belive you how about you just give us the GPS location of your shot and target, i'm sure you can go back to that hill with a GPS unit and tell us, so we can compare the geography on google earth and see how full of SHIT you are
@nilloc93 Haha why would i need to prove anything to you, and i would NEVER post the location of my property, oh and also, i must thankyou for giving my video some publicity, every time you comment it just means my video gets more and more noticed, so thank you :) HAHA
I am no scope expert, but the picture sure looked nice while looking through that scope. I suppose I understand why seasoned shooters recommend spending a little extra money for a high quality scope--one that personally fits the shooter's needs.
I'm sure I can shoot fairly well at 200-300 yards with practice. I'm eager to try 800+ yard shooting with an accurate rifle. One step at a time...

not to sound like a know it all but that doesnt appear to be a mile. i mean i could be wrong seeing as its pretty barren but that looks like 700-800yds.
@iainmcgregor8 like i said im no expert. the longest shot ive ever made was 300yds. and thats because theres nowhere near where i live where i can shoot farther. idk wat the actual yardage was but that was still a good shot and i doubt i could make taht on the first shot.

All these AK47 fanboys and Russian weapon loving punks are all over You Tube forums blabber they can hit the eye of a rat at 1000 - 3000 yards I am so fed up with them its like being a liar is some pride on these forums for them non of them even own a gun, this all comes from these kids playing video war games and and fully believe these games represent real life and real guns.
See this person shot that far with that caliber, great shooting all said !
Nice video! Cool to see a shot like this with this rifle, because I've got one just like it. :) Haven't tried it on longer range than 350 yards though. Someone else have probably asked you this already, but I'm too lazy to read through all the comments - what ammunition are you using? Are you loading yourself?
im 14 and can easly shoot small objects at 400 yards with my 30-06 but need a bigger scope to shoot ferther... i love long distance shooting an plan to to go into the military to become a army sniper... do you have any advice for shooting long distances that would help me push forward in long distance shooting?
@zombietow just keep shooting, practice, start at small distances and slowly move further away so you can see the bullets movement over the longer distances such as the bullets drop and how the wind effects it. what calibre do you shoot? thanks for the comment
Ummmmmm, a mile? You must be talking about some imaginary mile that you made up, and equates to 500 yards. Im guessing I just missed where it said "THIS IS A JOKE!"
@charronl1 due to your cocky comment i take it your an expert and have done this?? and have proof?? otherwise please go and do a bit of research on shooting and stop going around badmouthing things you clearly know nothing about
@charronl1 well u are an idiot to not even take into account bullet travel time, a .222 will reach 500 yards in less than half a second the travel time of 6the bullet in this vid was approx 2.5 seconds.
Take all factors into account next time bud then comment

@iainmcgregor8 so i don't understand why people say to choose a .222 over a .223 as the .222 is better, i do not know why?? i have been shooting my .223 for 8 years now and it is a very good calibre considering accuracy.
@Australianhunter i have been told that a .223 is overall better, i guess it is all personal preferance. pick a calibre that suits your needs, so for you its the .223 and me its a .222. (i plan to get a 22-250 soon)
@iainmcgregor8 thought i could help a little with the .222 vs .223 senario. ultimately the .222 is more accurate than the .223 and this has been proven. but to actually see diference you wil have to be an pro bisley shooter! not really but you wil have to be a much better shot than the avrage hunter. i have a .222 sako and would not trade it for anything! superbly accurate and even more so with my hand loads. by the way 22-250 is an exelent gun! just my 2cents! oh and good shooting bud!
Nice show mate. Esp with off the shelf ammo. I bet the 222 round has rather low bullet drop as compared to some bigger brass out there. I like to remind people that the fellows that wrote the revolutionary war book on sniping (also the case in the civil war, and ww1) were hunting folk. Are you able to consistently make hits at that range? I like the mauser and nagant 800yd vids. Best wishes friend.
Awesome shooting what's better for an accurate long range shot 30-06 or 308? Great shooting and it makes it better because your an Aussie r u an aussie I think there where gum trees in the back ground
@cs512tr just realy wanted to give a .222 a go, and found its perfect for what i need it for and just an overall good rifle. mabe looking to get a .223 next though
MrROTTENJUGGALO do you have any idea what your talking about? a .222 is plenty capable of traveling in excess of 1 mile, and with the right gun and shooter it can be an effective rifle at that range, i have shot my .222 at water jugs 900 yards away and made a clean hit. and im 14. and not trying to correct you or anything (ianmcgregor8) but a standard .222 bullet travels at aprox. 3,300 ft/ sec.
im exactly like him, i grew up on a farm and shot deer and other pests that came onto my dads peanut fields.except mine was a 264 magnum M.700 a fine shooting rifle,hopefully i can make a shot that long one day.
i would really like to say nice shot and it was, but that is not 1 mile. i shoot 1000 yd f class competition i know how far a mile is and this would be impossible to do with any amount of skill with the caliber you chose.
@MrROTTENJUGGALO- I disagree. I have had a couple of confirmed kills with the 5.56 past 1 mile. Granted that is a significantly slower and lighter round, and the shots were very hard to get into the "soft tissue" areas I needed; but it is more than possible with a .222. Just curious, what are you using for the 1K comp's? I use a very slightly modified Model 7, truth be told, I am using a heavy profile, fluted shilen. My business piece being a M103 or 98B.
@TGLymantaiste here is the difference, your 40 and seem to know alot about guns and have used them for a long time and used lots of them, im 18 and just shoot feral animals on our farm with one rifle, my .222, this video was made just to show i could shoot a target at a mile, thats it. i measured it out with an odometer and used reloaded rounds.
@iainmcgregor8 don't get me wrong. That was a hell of a shot. And I'm encouraging you to keep shooting you. you appear to have some real talent there, I just don't want to see anybody get hurt while participating in a sport that I love. Keep shooting!! and keep posting the videos don't worry about the doubters. If you know you made that shot that's all you need.
@TGLymantaiste thanks i appreciate the support, and i understand your concern about safety, its a great sport and i can see you are passionate about it. keep up the shooting!
@TGLymantaiste double the amount of gunpowder!!!!!! are you out of your mind?222 Remington starts out going faster than 2000 ft./s. If you double the amount of gunpowder in any round other than black powder you will destroy the rifle.
@iainmcgregor8 if you're talking about 222 Remington then even the heaviest bullets should be going about 2800 ft./s . I shoot a lot of 22 hornet and the hornet pushes a 45 grain bullet around 2500 ft./s. My 223 pushes that same bullet at about 3500 ft./s the 222 Remington if in fact that's the one you're talking about is a lot closer to the 223 than to the hornet. In fact the 223 is made from a 222 Remington cartridge.
@iainmcgregor8 I think you mis-typed a number in there, thinking you meant to say 3000fps as that's more likely a number for the .222, however 670fps over a factory round is not. Factory ammo is loaded to specs that are set by a safety board, SAAMI here in the states, not sure if there is a different one for Europe. Bullets launched at 3000fps don't stay 3000fps the whole trip, they slow down quite quickly.
@iainmcgregor8 How did you measure the distance? You've got to be either underestimating the speed of the bullet or overestimating the distance of the target. But also i should say that just some random camera isn't really a good judge of the actual flight time i'd imagine. The audio and video could be out of sync, especially being a youtube video... I can completely believe that the audio could be out that missing 1/2 a second.
@ebouwman034 with a motorbikes odometer, with r quite accurate, and i measured 1850 metres on the bike to acount for the hills. the bullet i used, i reloaded myself, after reloading the .222 bullet it can travel almost 2000 fps, do the calculations and it takes 2.5 secs to get there, even with the loss of speed over that long distance. and i used a good camera, + you can easily see the camera shake as i shoot, nd frm that frame when the camera shakes, to the bullet hitting the target is 2.5 sec
@iainmcgregor8 Lol, how did you account for the hills? Doesn't matter. If they're travelling over 2000 ft/sec like TGLymantaiste says then that makes up for it i guess. Also to correct your math skills, a mile is over 5000 ft, 2.5 seconds at 2000 ft/s = 5000 feet which is sort 280 feet, PLUS the fact that the bullet is decelerating so it's NOT going 2000 ft/s the whole way, so the average would be less than 2000. Sorry for being a douche but i love physics and accurate math.
With a flight time of 2.25 seconds, that shot is not 1 mile, more likely around 1000-1100 yards. A .222 at one mile has less velocity and energy than a .22 rimfire subsonic round does at 50 yards. A shot at that 1000 with a .222 hunting rifle is nothing to scoff at. If you were honest about the distance, i'd give you props, but since you weren't honest, i'll just consider that a lucky shot.
@KCDustRemover but as TGLmantaiste sais, the bullet is traveling at over 3000 fps, even with the bullet loosing velocity over the distance, it will still take 2.5 seconds to get to the target
@iainmcgregor8 So what your saying is that you have magic bullets. Unless you are shooting 90gr Bergers at 3800fps, you aren't getting to one mile in 2.5 seconds. It's clear that you don't have a grasp on the fundamental of external ballistics. How much elevation or holdover did you use for 1 mile?
@iainmcgregor8 Why not, I was studying the art of long range shooting before I was 18. BTW, ranging using the odometer of a bike isn't an accurate way of getting the range. Get yourself access to a decent rangefinder, or even google earth will get you within a hundred yards or so if you have decently definable shooting, and target positions.
@iainmcgregor8 You aren't traveling in a straight line. Down hills, up hills, over bumps, a little left, a little right, ect.. There is also the possibility that it's not properly calibrated to begin with. Even using a handheld GPS will get you closer.
@KCDustRemover but using the topography map of our property along with the odometres reading you can get an accurate estimate of distance. you can see in the vid that the hills would add around 200 metres to the odometres reading, and the path to the target from where i was shooting was straight, i made sure of that
Very nice! Me and my father used an M96 (6.5x55) to hit a hood-sized boulder at exactly a mile fairly consistently with open sights. Those 100+ year old Mausers are great shooters! And this is with surplus ammo! Great shot btw!
good shot ol boy!

@zazszdzfzgzhzjzkzlzx no shit , especially bullet drop, cross winds that come almost at an instance. then also depends what weight of the bullet,powder, bullet types. many variables. not as easy as many gun idiots think it is. especially with the antigun fanatics in DC. right away they believe that its easy to hit a passenger jet with a hi powered rifle while in flight. they dont know squat

All these AK47 fanboys and Russian weapon loving punks are all over You Tube forums blabber they can hit the eye of a rat at 1000 - 3000 yards I am so fed up with them its like being a liar is some pride on these forums for them non of them even own a gun, this all comes from these kids playing video war games and and fully believe these games represent real life and real guns.
See this person shot that far with that caliber, great shooting all said !

Nice video! Cool to see a shot like this with this rifle, because I've got one just like it. :) Haven't tried it on longer range than 350 yards though. Someone else have probably asked you this already, but I'm too lazy to read through all the comments - what ammunition are you using? Are you loading yourself?

im 14 and can easly shoot small objects at 400 yards with my 30-06 but need a bigger scope to shoot ferther... i love long distance shooting an plan to to go into the military to become a army sniper... do you have any advice for shooting long distances that would help me push forward in long distance shooting?

@zombietow just keep shooting, practice, start at small distances and slowly move further away so you can see the bullets movement over the longer distances such as the bullets drop and how the wind effects it. what calibre do you shoot? thanks for the comment

@Australianhunter they are very similar, a .223 has a slightly higher velocity
iainmcgregor8 9 months ago
@iainmcgregor8 so i don't understand why people say to choose a .222 over a .223 as the .222 is better, i do not know why?? i have been shooting my .223 for 8 years now and it is a very good calibre considering accuracy.
Australianhunter 9 months ago
@Australianhunter i have been told that a .223 is overall better, i guess it is all personal preferance. pick a calibre that suits your needs, so for you its the .223 and me its a .222. (i plan to get a 22-250 soon)
iainmcgregor8 9 months ago
@iainmcgregor8 thought i could help a little with the .222 vs .223 senario. ultimately the .222 is more accurate than the .223 and this has been proven. but to actually see diference you wil have to be an pro bisley shooter! not really but you wil have to be a much better shot than the avrage hunter. i have a .222 sako and would not trade it for anything! superbly accurate and even more so with my hand loads. by the way 22-250 is an exelent gun! just my 2cents! oh and good shooting bud!

Nice show mate. Esp with off the shelf ammo. I bet the 222 round has rather low bullet drop as compared to some bigger brass out there. I like to remind people that the fellows that wrote the revolutionary war book on sniping (also the case in the civil war, and ww1) were hunting folk. Are you able to consistently make hits at that range? I like the mauser and nagant 800yd vids. Best wishes friend.

MrROTTENJUGGALO do you have any idea what your talking about? a .222 is plenty capable of traveling in excess of 1 mile, and with the right gun and shooter it can be an effective rifle at that range, i have shot my .222 at water jugs 900 yards away and made a clean hit. and im 14. and not trying to correct you or anything (ianmcgregor8) but a standard .222 bullet travels at aprox. 3,300 ft/ sec.

@MrROTTENJUGGALO thanx, and sorry but i just have to back myself up and say it was a mile, but you have your opinion and im not going to argue that
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
@MrROTTENJUGGALO- I disagree. I have had a couple of confirmed kills with the 5.56 past 1 mile. Granted that is a significantly slower and lighter round, and the shots were very hard to get into the "soft tissue" areas I needed; but it is more than possible with a .222. Just curious, what are you using for the 1K comp's? I use a very slightly modified Model 7, truth be told, I am using a heavy profile, fluted shilen. My business piece being a M103 or 98B.

@TGLymantaiste here is the difference, your 40 and seem to know alot about guns and have used them for a long time and used lots of them, im 18 and just shoot feral animals on our farm with one rifle, my .222, this video was made just to show i could shoot a target at a mile, thats it. i measured it out with an odometer and used reloaded rounds.

@iainmcgregor8 don't get me wrong. That was a hell of a shot. And I'm encouraging you to keep shooting you. you appear to have some real talent there, I just don't want to see anybody get hurt while participating in a sport that I love.

@TGLymantaiste double the amount of gunpowder!!!!!! are you out of your mind?222 Remington starts out going faster than 2000 ft./s. If you double the amount of gunpowder in any round other than black powder you will destroy the rifle.
TGLymantaiste 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 if you're talking about 222 Remington then even the heaviest bullets should be going about 2800 ft./s . I shoot a lot of 22 hornet and the hornet pushes a 45 grain bullet around 2500 ft./s. My 223 pushes that same bullet at about 3500 ft./s the 222 Remington if in fact that's the one you're talking about is a lot closer to the 223 than to the hornet. In fact the 223 is made from a 222 Remington cartridge.
TGLymantaiste 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 I think you mis-typed a number in there, thinking you meant to say 3000fps as that's more likely a number for the .222, however 670fps over a factory round is not. Factory ammo is loaded to specs that are set by a safety board, SAAMI here in the states, not sure if there is a different one for Europe. Bullets launched at 3000fps don't stay 3000fps the whole trip, they slow down quite quickly.

FearTheGremlin 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 How did you measure the distance? You've got to be either underestimating the speed of the bullet or overestimating the distance of the target. But also i should say that just some random camera isn't really a good judge of the actual flight time i'd imagine. The audio and video could be out of sync, especially being a youtube video... I can completely believe that the audio could be out that missing 1/2 a second.
ebouwman034 1 year ago
@ebouwman034 with a motorbikes odometer, with r quite accurate, and i measured 1850 metres on the bike to acount for the hills. the bullet i used, i reloaded myself, after reloading the .222 bullet it can travel almost 2000 fps, do the calculations and it takes 2.5 secs to get there, even with the loss of speed over that long distance. and i used a good camera, + you can easily see the camera shake as i shoot, nd frm that frame when the camera shakes, to the bullet hitting the target is 2.5 sec
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 Lol, how did you account for the hills? Doesn't matter. If they're travelling over 2000 ft/sec like TGLymantaiste says then that makes up for it i guess. Also to correct your math skills, a mile is over 5000 ft, 2.5 seconds at 2000 ft/s = 5000 feet which is sort 280 feet, PLUS the fact that the bullet is decelerating so it's NOT going 2000 ft/s the whole way, so the average would be less than 2000. Sorry for being a douche but i love physics and accurate math.
ebouwman034 1 year ago
@ebouwman034 wel aparently the .222 round travels around 3000fps once reloaded, whitch i did, so i guess that makes up for it lol
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
With a flight time of 2.25 seconds, that shot is not 1 mile, more likely around 1000-1100 yards. A .222 at one mile has less velocity and energy than a .22 rimfire subsonic round does at 50 yards. A shot at that 1000 with a .222 hunting rifle is nothing to scoff at. If you were honest about the distance, i'd give you props, but since you weren't honest, i'll just consider that a lucky shot.
KCDustRemover 1 year ago
@KCDustRemover but as TGLmantaiste sais, the bullet is traveling at over 3000 fps, even with the bullet loosing velocity over the distance, it will still take 2.5 seconds to get to the target
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 So what your saying is that you have magic bullets. Unless you are shooting 90gr Bergers at 3800fps, you aren't getting to one mile in 2.5 seconds. It's clear that you don't have a grasp on the fundamental of external ballistics. How much elevation or holdover did you use for 1 mile?
KCDustRemover 1 year ago
@KCDustRemover well excuse me if i dont devote my life to the fundamental of external ballistics at the age of 18.
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 Why not, I was studying the art of long range shooting before I was 18. BTW, ranging using the odometer of a bike isn't an accurate way of getting the range. Get yourself access to a decent rangefinder, or even google earth will get you within a hundred yards or so if you have decently definable shooting, and target positions.
KCDustRemover 1 year ago
@KCDustRemover why isnt an odometer accurate enough?
iainmcgregor8 1 year ago
@iainmcgregor8 You aren't traveling in a straight line. Down hills, up hills, over bumps, a little left, a little right, ect.. There is also the possibility that it's not properly calibrated to begin with. Even using a handheld GPS will get you closer.
KCDustRemover 1 year ago
@KCDustRemover but using the topography map of our property along with the odometres reading you can get an accurate estimate of distance. you can see in the vid that the hills would add around 200 metres to the odometres reading, and the path to the target from where i was shooting was straight, i made sure of that
