Offhand? Sights, iron or glass make no difference at all. It's all on the man's ability. I will admit with the iron sights in full sun and the deer in the shade can be a challenge...but you will instantly know that when the glare on the front sight obscures the target. Of the years that I shot competition in NRA Sporting Rifle High Power, I'd guess 5% of shooters could hold 8 shots in a 7 inch ring at 200 yards. Maybe 70% of the shooters could put 8 shots in the aiming black which is about 13 inches. I'd say put up a paper plate, whang away at a hundred, if you can keep 4 out 4 on the plate move it out until you can't. I shoot a .300 Savage 1920 bolt with aperture rear, offhand, in good light, I would consider roughly 150 yards as my limit. I am 76 now and I don't hunt to kill, I hunt for meat and will not take hail mary shots. Quick, clean, one and done.
