A good gun and scope is not enough to make consistant shots at those ranges. You will need a good range finder at the least and an antimomater???, the thing you use to measure wind speed is a big help. You will need to carry the drop chart and drift chart. I like to dial in the drop and use mil-dots for drift. With deer I would have no problem with a 130 gn. bullet at those ranges, but don`t think I would try elk with a .270 at those ranges, even though a well placed shot would do the job.
