[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2990110, member: 42494"] Pack sand is correct. Find you another used iron sight rifle in 30-06 with even a short 22" barrel which will do every thing you need it to do past 500 yds, even out to 1000yds. You probably already have 30-06 ammo for your M1 and Garrand. Your neighbor is leading you down the wrong road. As suggested, maybe upgrade your iron sights to a scope that has "target turrets" or a "holdover reticle" like a simple Christmas tree reticle - emphasis on simple and not busy. Then you'll have to learn about ballistics calculations to use the new scope turrets and PRACTICE using the ballistics calculations. And you'll need a laser range finder to use with the ballistics application, etc., etc. What a huge and expensive rabbit hole your neighbor is taking you down. Or, you can just sight your new 30-06 scope in for about 2" high at 100 yds with 150-168 gr factory ammo and hold mid-deer from 10 yds to 350yds. The EASY BUTTON. [/QUOTE]
