Well, I know many of you will have opinions on why I should not do this such as--much better calibers, never a levergun, blah, blah, blah,
I really don't want to hear from a bunch of people telling me why I shouldnt. I really want to hear from people with real world experience shooting one hole groups with a 30-30 at 100 yards.
I love shooting paper--A long time ago, I had a crappy old scope on this 30-30 and someone else handloads, and I was shooting cloverleafs at 100 yards. I wanted better mounts and a better scope and ended up getting a screw stuck in the receiver--long story short--I have not shot it in a couple of years and a good friend got the screw out.
Now, I want to put a 500 dollar scope, a nice set of one piece rings, do a trigger job, and experiment with some pointed bullets loaded singly into the chamber.
I am only looking for anyone who has attempted benchrest with the 30-30 out to 350 yards or so. Only people with experience. I can hit a bean can with my 513t and redfield sights 9 out of 10 time at 250 yards on a calm day with bulk .22 ammo, so I really dont want to hear those who say it cant be done.
If you feel the need to hi-jack this thread--please start your own thread that gives the reasons on why a 30-30 is a piss-poor choice for benchrest--not here
Only positive experiences need write on this post.
Thank you
Casey
