[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 522794, member: 34702"] loved your article!! so nice to hear from someone who isn't on the high tech bandwagon. i love simple machines. the high tech stuff works, but too much can go wrong. knock off the scope, dent, cracks, etc. and most of the ballistic programs along with rangefinders etc. all have electronics demanding batteries. hunted too much in alaska and batteries are no good in the winter and that eliminates a lot of the tech stuff. i have shot the mauser for years. love the barley corn front sight, very pin point accurate but poor in low light. the ladder rear is fantastic. i used to hit a 6 foot square rock at 1000 yards with it with hardly a miss. my second son took his first 2 caribou at 1400 meters with it. he can see better than perfectly and they were so far away they never moved till he walked the rear sight up and started to drop them. i also got enamered with the peep. put a vernier williams on the tang of my 45-70. turned it into a 500 yard thumper. i think it would do very nicely at 1000, just couldnt see that far anymore w/o help. love your system. great article.
