AK47s and AR15s are not what you’re looking for here. A nice Sako or Weatherby in 6.5 Creedmoor or .300WSM is a much better choice. And make sure your optics are matching the quality of the gun; we’re looking for .5MOA or better.
Thats a 300-500m shot. You could hit him with an off the shelf scoped .22. I’d personally go for a .270 but wonder if he’s worth the extra cost… imagine the headline, killed by one of the smallest calibers in common use.
And why the fuck would you stick the barrel through the fence??
There isn’t a chance that a .22LR would even leave a bruise at 300m, if you managed to deal with the 15 or 20’ of drop at that range. You might as well throw a shoe at him.
Cmon, let’s get these people using the right equipment for the job. Telling people that .22 is going to do the job is just making sure the job doesn’t get done.
You would have to be a incredible shot but a 22 lr will still fuck you up or kill you at that range. It’s always foolish to act like a 22 is a toy round not to be taken seriously.
It’s pretty majestic, all-in-all. Shoe chucker had great aim, Bush was just lucky to have seen that he was up to something and then, yeah, demonstrated pretty good reflexes for his age by evading it. AC 0 vs. shoe projectiles.
Look, I like to shit on the 22 as much as the next guy but at 500 yards it absolutely could kill. It’s not the most effective at that range but it will do more than bruise.
Grand Thumb did a video on .22LR, and it definitely can still do damage at that range. Granted, you’d have to be an incredibly good shot, but could still be deadly
OK, seriously.

Get your shit together, guys.

The best kill is overkill.

I understood that reference
And I guess the entire world grasped in unison: “What a reflex! Too bad, it would be EPIC!”

Oh crap, you’re right. Effective range 140 yard.
.270 or 30-06 it is then.

I’m just saying .30/06 is a classic in both deer and Nazi hunting for a reason
I love my 6.5, but I still really want a 30/06
