[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1863422, member: 60453"] Sometimes people forget that before there were magnums there were long range rifles. And they really were long range. Among them were Sharps, Remington and Brownings which shot large caliber, heavy bullets at very moderate velocities, which were still very effective at pretty incredible distances, killing moose, elk, buffalo and every African game animal you can name. Billy Dixon killed Quana Parker's sub-chief at the 2nd battle of Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle(on the Canadian River) at a surveyed(by the Army Corps of Engineers) 1538yards with a Sharps Big 50(50-90). I think that's long range in most people's books. I'd really like to have a 50-90 Sharps, just to play with. [/QUOTE]
