[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2669513, member: 74603"] If we had something at longer range - unusual for us then - - Dad had the Sporterized 30/06 Springfield - that shot like q charm - ragged holes. It had a Timney trigger and Match barrel - beautiful blond stock - rebuilt by a family friend. Had a 3.9 x Simmons scope - which worked just fine. That rig could still handle about anything todaynout to say 400 yards - even a bit longer - but we pretty much just sighted in at 100 yards in those days. If we needed to get close - stalked quietly through the woods (or tried to. :) ) Worked most times getting closer. Was taught to hunt in the woods by a family friend - Buddy - a Native American/Indian - who had been a Marine Sniper in the Pacific in WWII. He shot his deer thru the eyes to save meat. [/QUOTE]
