I enjoy the long range stuff myself. With my hunting rifle that's 500 yards with off the shelf ammo. Fairly consistent on a 12" gong. That's really the lethal range of my 30-06 on a deer anyway. I have the Leupold CDS system and it works great on a hunting rifle.
I have a friend up North that kills Elk and Deer at 750 yards dead, but that's with a 300 WSM and a break. I had no desire to carry around a gun in the field with a muzzle break and I don't enjoy the kick of a 300 mag so I stuck with a 30-06 with no break. I can shoot it on the range and it's still enjoyable. Muzzle breaks are really hard on your hearing and I'm not wearing ear protection in the field.
