SWAT “snipers” generally field $5000+ rifles, yet they consider sharp shooting to be hitting a stationary human at 50 yards.

They consider a 6” group at 100 yards to be exceptional. Your average red neck could outshoot them with iron sights on a ‘94 Winchester.

I learned to shoot at the age of eight with my great grandpa's Model 1894 30-30 octagon barrel takedown version. He purchased it new in 1895 and I killed my first deer with it in 1964. I could easily fire bullseye groups at 200 yards, with iron sights from a bench rest. Just wait until these gun grabbers discover optics and long range shooting. They will probably wet themselves.

7 of 10 in the 12” bull at 200 yards, irons sights, M-14, offhand position.

7 out of 10 in the 20” bull at 500 yards, prone.

No bench rest, no ‘scope.

Red neck & frozen ears. Parris Island, Feb. 1968.
