Yeah, I mainly wanted to see the difference between the Marlin .30-30 and the Savage .308 from the range. I mean, I love my .30-30 and have such a strong bond with it. I know that rifle like the back of my hand.
I mean, heck, I could shoot the .30-30 with my eyes closed and hit the target. It just feels great and is just a sweet shooter. I guess that's why I wanted to keep it traditional w/ open sights. I just couldn't bring myself to put a scope on it again. It's an "old school" thing...
Now.... I have the Savage .308 that I want to form the same kind of bond with. Practice repeatedly with the .308 and learn everything about it and how it shoots and what flavor of ammo it likes, etc...etc... As it stands now, I fell in love with it, because I can close my eyes, shoulder the rifle, open my eyes, and I'm lookingstraight down the scope - every single time. It's a beautiful rifle...
