Typical sniper engagement distances vary from 300-600 yards, or 900-1800 feet (275-550 meters).

On rare occasions, targets are engaged out to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) using high-powered .338 or .50 caliber rifles. The semi-official record is 2600 yards or 1.5 miles (2430 meters) by Candian sniper Corporal Robert Furlong.
