    to me a 30.30 is a pig gun good for 20meters with big slugs.
    I have used one before and lost so many animals as I watched the explosion of dirt at the deer's feet. frustrating!. The only animal I ever shot with it was at 5 meters.
    Wirehunt and nevereadyfreddy like this.

    A bit of time spent at the range checking trajectory before going bush might have earnt you the name Ol'Oneshot
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Was not my gun... I just borrowed it when I was a young fella cause my first gun got pinched in a berg at home. I could shoot nice at 50 meters but anything outside that was a waste of time and I was trying to shoot 100 to 150m with it up slips
    I basically found the drop was too hard to predict and im not good at estimating distances.
    Any ways I earned that name with my trusty 308 at 10 meters!!!.....Shame!!!!
