RE: You Call The Shots IX

Depends on the irons! I have some that I would not hesitate. I have some that are not very clear at that distance. The irons on my 30.06 aren't great.. so i'd pass if i had my '06.... then again... i do have see throughs w/ a scope on that gun....
pass.

My 1st rifle was a Rem 30-06 with iron sights.I knew that gun better than my wife.A Duck shot at 80yrds.IMO - Forget the wind at that range w/06.

Iron sights and 80 yards = dead deer.

I would put the sights right on the shoulder and let him have it. Even if the bullet drifted 6 in it's still in the vitals.

RE: You Call The Shots IX

I would take the shot, at only 80 yards I think that a .30-06 could handle it even with wind. It would be a doable shot, but I'd have to make sure that I'm calm when I take the shot.
