Should have been more descriptive lol, top photo is a crow that I took at 150 yards in the head. Bottom is a grey fox that I shot last season at about 100 yards. I was shooting down hill at a pretty steep angle, bullet entered right behind shoulder and exited low in the stomach.

Wow, that is an impressive shot! My longest shot on an animal so far has a tad over 300 at a coyote. I have killed some 1 gallon water jugs out to the 400 lol. I need to invest in better glass on my 204. I currently have a Simmons whitetail classic on it and I beleive I could increase my range with better optics. I can't seem to adjust the parallax out when I get to about 300. I have had great success with the encore despite all the horror stories I have heard about its accuracy.
