“You could do the same with a carefully sporterized Carcano and a scope.”
I saw what you did there, but anyway, any scoped rifle intended for deer hunting can be classified by gun grabbers as a “medium range sniper weapon”, and therefore should be confiscated.
In fact, this latest shooting incident could turn into just that, with Dianne Feinstein hoisting a Remington Model 700 with a Swarovski variable scope and declaring that such rifles with a lethal range of 500 yards or more have no legitimate sporting use.
Who needs a scope? My K31 is good for a 8” circle at 500+ yds with the original iron sights
“declaring that such rifles with a lethal range of 500 yards or more have no legitimate sporting use”
Gee, I have 3 of those. Two of them have dropped an animal at over 400yds. The 3rd is new and needs a barrel break-in, then proper sighting.
I hear those custom, cryogenically treated, machined rifling barrels are really something.
Did you know that over 400yds you cannot tell which direction the bang came from?
When shooting upward or downward always aim proportionately low to avoid hitting high.
