Default RE: Moving target Rifle

This seems like an area with a very definite range limit - what is the max shot? The good old 30-30 lever can easily be sighted point blank to 175 yards and has deer-kill power further yet. It can be fitted with all sorts of iron, red dot, hi-vis open and low powered scopes. I just got a Marlin mod 336 and put a 1-3X 20 Weaver V3 scope and will hopefully report on how well it works. Last year I shot my friend's Winchester mod 94 30-30 at the range with a red dot scope and I really didn't care for it - he loves it though and scored a double on walking/trotting does last season, clean boiler room kills. My scope has a very wide field of view at 1X which I've practiced out to 100 yds (my max range where I'm hunting this year), and it works great for "moment of deer-kill" shots. I think it will be good for quick acquisition anywhere at 1 x and most everwhere at 3x.
