What caliber was he using? I have a friend who shot a prairie dog at 2157. This would have been near impossible when I started Ground hog hunting 45 years ago but with much more accurate rifles, better scopes, range finders, wind meters and chronographs it is now possible and even common. 45 years ago 300 yards was a long shot now its a gimme. My first center fire rifle was a custom built Mauser in 22-250 that was guarantied to shoot 1 inch groups at 100 yds. It cost $180. Now a custom action is $1000+ and I don't have a rifle that wont shoot less than 1\2 inch most under 1\4 inch at 100 yds. A lot of the Savage rifles off the shelf will shoot under 1\2 inch some way under.
