I have killed several deer with it but have only shot it 30 or so times. I am on a budget but want to be able to shoot it to 1000 yards. Is it possible with a .270. What size ammo should I use to try achive this 1000 yard mark? I also need a scope as it still shoot it with iron sights. Is there any scopes at the $100 price point that will work? I can get 3 to 4 inch groups at 100 yds with open sights(3 shot) I did a search on google to learn how to adjust the trigger pull. I have it set up pretty light and there is no 7 oclock movement with the trigger pull. I guess I need to buy a tool to measure the weight of the pull.
