[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2776477, member: 15054"] My model 94 was built in 1974 and dad stuck a redfield widefield 4X scope on it. That thing would bust small critters at 200 yards easily. His cousin hunted Colorado for decades for elk with a 7mm rem mag. 2 guys in the camp used their lever action 30-30's and stated they will kill elk with 1 shot all the way to 250 yards.. they said this is their limit. SO I set my scope to be zeroed at 250 yards.. I say my scope because i got the gun from my dad in 1999 or 2000. I reloaded some ammo for my buddies 30-30 and it usually shoots 2.25" group size at 211 yards. He has a lifetime license and the 30-30 if you practice is a quick accurate gun. He drove into the woods on his 4 wheeler and just t got off of it and seen a deer running medium speed and brought the gun up and neck shot it. turned around and his dad was comming down the trail on another 4 wheeler and as he panned over to see his dad there was another deer. Told his dad stop and then fired at it.. neck shot again. I force him to shoot a lot before season.. so he got his antler and antlerless in 1 day. His dad said he thought he was fooling around. Until he walked him to both dead deer. I have done the same with my 30-06 bolt action 2 times.. limit out in 1 day. No matter what gun you get you owe it to yourself and the game you shoot at to practice a lot with it. I have since brought the zero to 100 yards on the 30-30 as i let others use it ,, because i now have a 30-06, 243 and .308 for the way out there stuff. I do love my 30-06 and .308 [/QUOTE]
