A well placed shot with any .30 or higher caliber will drop near any animal. .30-06 is the most popular long range rifle caliber in america, .308 is standardized by nato, 7mm is a high performance magnum caliber. All will do the job well.
Help - what is the best optic for a Barrett 82A1? preferably not over 3 grand. Asking for a friend. When Barrett put together package rifles with an M107, a scope and mounts in a pelican case, they chose to fit the Leupold Mark 4 M1 4.5-14x50. That model of Mark 4 has the largest range of elevation adjustment - 100 MOA (which comes in handy ...
distance for a lever action 44 will in my opinion be better with a barrel longer than 20". That said you would need at least 22-24" for a 200-275 yard shot. And you may have to handload for those longer distances. someone told me that Buffalo Bore makes a serious 44 load but I have not verified it.
Using 147gr Hydro-Shock you'll be launching at a velocity of 1073fps. You should have it zeroed at 50 yards so no drop at all, and then 8.7 inches at 100 yards. Using a 50gr Civil Defense you'll be launching at 2600fps. You should see a bullet drop of 1.5 inches. I keep my 9mm carbine loaded with Civil Defense.
Midway has a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 4.5-14x 50 for $699.99. Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical M1 Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 4.5-14x. All three manufactures have some version of a transferable Lifetime warranty for what that's worth.
It seems to make more sense to have a true long distance rifle. Anyway, I'm new to the long-distance shooting space and am looking for advice on out what is the best gear to buy. I looked at Maximum Effective Range Chart for All Rifle Cartridges – Backfire and it seems .308 Winchester is a good caliber with a maximum range of 784 for 1,000 ft ...

The primary advantage of a full size 'M16' type AR vs an 'M4gery' (an actual M4, in addition to being legally a machinegun, also has a 14.5" barrel, making it an SBR as well) is the extra velocity gained from the longer barrel, which means less bullet drop at longer ranges. You also get a longer sight radius, which generally means better accuracy.
