With leverevolution ammo, you can take deer out to 250 yards.
your probably right but i use bolt actions for longer shots. if you hunt brush and generally shoot less than 100yard shots i couldnt put a 3x9 on a 30-30. it ends up looking kinda goofy and bigger than the gun itself to me. its also nice to be able to point and shoot without worrying about turning the scope up and down. if im judging game i always go to the bino-s. but have been guilty of using the scope once in a while.[:-]
