[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 70024, member: 8843"] My first high power rifle was a Marlin 336 chambered in 35 Rem , I was 14 at the time and to this day I'm amazed at the recoil that thing produced way more than expected. I had the gun sighted in at 100yds , it was scoped with an old Weaver K4 the longest shot I made was on a big doe at about 150yds and it took two shots to hit here as the first was way low . Bottom line is that neither one of your buddies guns are realy worth the waste of time for shooting long range they simply don't have the velocity or bullet BC to do the job. Save your money and get a good bolt gun in a respectible caliber. As for your buddy shooting a deer at 700yds with with one of these , I'm gonna have to say BS on that one , the front sight on the 336 will cover a stop sign at 200yds and cover a house at 700yds. From my experiance most guys that make these statements have never even seen a deer at that range at they may ahve made a realy long shot say 200-250yds with it and doing so had a bout of bad judgement with their range finding skills. Alot of thes guys take out Ol'faithful the day before the season and fire a couple shots across the hood of their trusty F-100 at a can at 40or 50 yds and get close to it , well that good nuf fer huntin. well that ain't the case when shooting long range alot for these guys shoot hundreds if not thousandes of rounds each year all year just to get ready for maybe one hunt , thats what it takes to kill animals at "long range" consistantly. Now if your not some *** cyber Troll sent to us from the great folks at PETA then hang out and take some notes to may learn something from these guys [/QUOTE]
