I`d be very confident in a 200-250 yd shot on deer size game if sitting or a tree limb ect to rest the rifle on. The only problem I have with that kind of shooting here where I hunt is the Balsam and Cedar insist on standing in front of me 25 yd away. I`m lucky to see 75 yd let alone get a shot at any greater distance. 75% of the deer I`ve shot wouldn`t be "long range" for a spear.. of course 200 more yd in the swamp would just be that much farther I`d have to drag `em and I`m getting too old for that if there`s a way around it...
