IE: Hunting stories, accuracy (factory irons or scope). I'd like to know more about them. Pics are always welcome. Thanks..


If you get one, that question will answer itself....

Then you'll know why...

I've switched over to 140 grain bullets, since 160 grain RNs aren't as available anymore...

But since I use it with open sights, I use it an open sight load... 30 grains of Rl 7 behind a 160 gr RN or a 140 grain bullet...

simple 30/30 speed load with less recoil than a 30/30... and flatter shooting... an easily 200 yd performer...
