Had my mind on buying a .308 lever action rifle..and I found one and bot it....
I've taken a 600 yd shot on a yote...but never on a deer.
Prolly the longest gun shot I had on a buck was 200 yds...And I've killed some good ones.
I'd be hard put to shoot something at a mile...
Most of the deer shots are under 250 yards here and 80% under 150. Don’t like trying long on then field rats. Could try but target certainty is important. Safety first.
