You can shoot out the the maximum point blank range of your rifle 300 +/- yards doing nothing if you sight the gun in properly. That's a LONG way for someone that doesn't shoot more than once or twice year.

I've shot a pile of crows and groundhogs at 1,000 or a little more with a 30-06 Winchester Model 70 sporting a Unertl scope with standard crosshair. That's about all I did growing up. When the corn was sprouting I'd be on overwatch. I was fortunate to grow up like that even though it ended too short. What would the liberals say today about a kid who's world revolved around a 3 wheeler a long range rifle and a reloading press.... at age 10.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
