Guns Question

lol I think you were spot on.

Ended up buying a 30-30 brass Henry side gate lever action with open sights. Gonna use that for the close kills. Also bought a Swarovski z3 4-12x50 for the tikka 30-06 for the longer shots if needed.

Do a little bench work.
Understand accuracy is not like in the movies.

Watching some videos, it amazes me how same gun, on a bench, nothing moved, and the bullet moves an inch or 2 in the grouping. Makes you wonder how we hit any smaller targets in the first place!

Accuracy a huge rabbit hole.
From the basics up to the minutea.
An entire field of study.
As long as you're aware.
