I shot a deer at a lasered 236 yard in '09 with an open sighted M94, though it was with Peeps in the rear and an aftermarket (Marbles) in the front. I knew the load, and had been shooting at paper plates at 200 yards, and could hit them regularly.
I wouldn't have tried it with the factory sights, but with the factory front and the peep rear, it would be doable.
The shot was a broadside shot, and the bullet still went completely through. The animal went 20 yards and laid down.
If you can reliably determine the range, and have a sight capable of it, 200 yards is completely in the realm of the .30-30.
There are a couple of guys here who shoot bprc that 200 yards is a chip shot to.
