30-06 at those ranges. The featherweight would work at those ranges but would not be ideal. Generally a rifle set up for long range work has a longer heavier barrel and a heavy stock to make it easier to hold steady at those ranges.

The featherweight rifles sacrafice weight to be easier for carrying while hunting.
