On June 20th, 2015, Jim Spinella and the HCR team hit a 36” plate from a remarkable distance of 3800 yards (2.16 miles). The shot was made with the Hill Country Rifle Extreme Long Range Carry Weight 375 CheyTac at the FTW Ranch in Texas. This new rifle weighs 12.5 pounds without the scope. This shot was said to be a new world record at the time. We will settle for a fun one. Hill Country Rifles: http://hillcountryrifles.com HCR Tactical: http://hillcountryrifles.com/hcr/tact...
