Before this, I had a Marbles tang peep sight and the rifle was pretty accurate out to 100 yards with the peep, about 2" MOA. I should be able to tighten that group up now and bring it out to 200 yards now,eh? Most of my shots in Montana for deer have been in the 100 to 200 yard range.

I've had two late-forties EG's that would group MOA on a good day. You should have no problem menacing deer out to 300 yards.
I'm just awaiting delivery of a very nice EG myself; I'm hoping history repeats. Now if the deer would just move into my region!
