The only important question not yet covered in this incredible 1000 yard kill "hunting question" thread would be are you going to use a leather sling or a cloth sling on your 30/30?
hitting a metal target at 1000 yards is much different than hitting a deer @ 1000 yards..To each his own, but I’ll not be shooting game at ranges over 300 yards. Perhaps I’m just showing my age, but I keep the freezer stocked with venison and haven’t taken a shot over 190 yards in more than 25 years, and most of my game is taken at less than 100 yards. We have a rule in effect on the farm that states ( if you lose a deer from a bad shot then you are through for the remainder of the year ) it works surprisingly well . We’ve only had to implement it twice . But as I said at the start of this post, To each his own.
that pretty much fits for 1K or 100 yard shotsit would not be humane if the shot did not kill the target on first shot..
true, but you don' t have to drive or walk 900 yards to the downed animal..to put it downthat pretty much fits for 1K or 100 yard shots
+4,000 inch drop. LOL. + 333 feet....does the dial on the scope go that far or do you need to shim it?hope so 1000 yards with a 357 ????
I'm sure you're supposed to hold the gun upside down over 300 yards. No mo drop.+4,000 inch drop. LOL. + 333 feet....does the dial on the scope go that far or do you need to shim it?

i would never take a shot that long, at a deer, with any caliber..

After the second page it is all about bragging. I'm still carrying a Montgomery Ward 30/30 with a paracord sling so I don't have a big brag.This is all that needs to be said, IMO. Kinda baffled this thread even exists to be honest.

I do still have the receipt for the 30/30 which I bought new for $76 dollars I think. It's probably killed more deer than anyone else bragging up any single gun in this thread.
LOLHow afbout this (FINALLY) !!
1. How many people have shot at a game animal at 1000yds ??
