In my opinion it in unsportsmanlike to shoot deer at 500yds


If you have a weapon capable of the shot and you have practiced the shot enough, then I don't think that.

But that would have to be very little to no wind.

I personally would not take that shot simply because that is not a shot that I practice enough to feel comfortable with.

The margin for error at that distance is so small I don't view a 500yd shot on a deer as good sportsmanship. Put in the work to get the deer closer. All it takes is a slight twitch and you lame a deer instead of a clean kill. Especially when you consider you are shooting with a cold bore.

However if you are just wanting a deer rifle that you can take the range and punch holes at 500yds that is completely different story. Yea 350yds is about my limit that I would feel comfortable taking a shot on a deer.
