I went late morning to the desert to the "long distance range" . Zeroed at 100 yards, once I was pleased with my 5 rds shot:

I moved back to 1000 yards. I never shot that distance before, the farthest I shot was 600 yards . I got to the 1k yards, guestimated 3 full turn up on my scope, took a shot but was still too low, did one more full turn up and was close to the steel target but about 5 feet to the right. I adjusted again and many shots were very close and many not so close...LoL after about 30 rds I hit my 10 inch steel target. I was laughing by myself in the middle of the desert...LoL.
Rifle is a Remington 700 sps varmint in 22-250. The only change is the stock, hs precision stock.

Here's the steel plate .
