2400 yards, anyone? %) Some impressive long-distance shooting:

114 MOA comeup if my calculations are correct....
Depends on if you are willing to use a basically stock M2 with a Unertl scope attached on a makeshift mount.

***************
In 1967 Hathcock set the record for the longest sniper kill. He used a M2 .50 Cal Browning machine gun mounting a telescopic sight at a range of 2,500 yd (2,286 m), taking down a single Vietcong guerrilla.[33] This record was broken in 2002, by Canadian snipers (Rob Furlong and Arron Perry) from the 3rd Bn. PPCLI during the War in Afghanistan. Hathcock was one of several individuals to utilize the M2 Browning machine gun in the sniping role. This success led to the adoption of the .50 BMG cartridge as a viable sniper round.

Hmmm, looks like he needs a faster twist barrel there... Impressive shooting nontheless. I'd love to visit that "range" and give it a try!
Caliper,
Not a range ^:)^, it's just our backyard out west.

Cory, :bow: very jealous. I went to college in ID and do miss the space. Of course, I wasn't into shooting yet back then. ::)
If you ever hold an extended-distance KD appleseed in your backyard, let us flatlanders in Mi know!
