Best Answer

The current longest recorded kill made with a rifle chambered in .308 was recorded as 1,250 meters, or just over 3/4 of a mile. It was made by then-Staff Sgt. James Gilliland of the 3rd Infantry Division in Ramadi, Iraq on September 27, 2005. Gilliland and his spotter were providing Overwatch for a line company that was going through a neighborhood, performing house-to-house searches for insurgents. The soldiers on the ground were taking fire from a hospital when Gilliland took the shot and hit the insurgent in the chest, killing him.
