[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 844361, member: 32685"] I like you thoughts, yes, its a lot more rewarding for me to work up and take a short shot or one within 250 yards. There have been some times when Knowing how to make the longer shots was the only option you had. I hunted with a Muzzle loader for 15 years and shot nothing but patched roundballs and buckhorn sights. I had to get within 100 yards and prefered to get under 80. It was a very rewarding experiance. Someday in the near future someone is going to pass a law that makes ALL sniper style rifles illegal, that being any rifle with a scope and then we will all be hunting again like my grandfather did when you had to be a woodsman and you had to get close enough to make a clean kill. I would guess that there were thousands of Elk Moose and Bear killed with open sighted 30-06's. There is just somthing special about hunting that way. I worked years ago in Bend, 1983, worked for a plumbing company called, now I cant think of the name but it was owned by Jess Paschall........ G [/QUOTE]
