How difficult would it be to shoot a bolt action rifle without any sights whatsoever ?
Cause I don't have a scope for my 308 and I won't be able to afford one for a while. I was wanting to know if I could thump pigs at about 35 yards.Depend how far and how accurate you want. I've seen a lot of 22 rifles that were used in small boats many times there sights are missing. My old Remington 33 was a trappers gun the sights were taken off, I shot it before i put some sights on. I was hitting soda cans at 10 yards quite easily.
What made you think off your question.
I greatly appreciate the offer but I'd have to graciously decline.I am sure we can find you a scope.

I genuinely appreciate your offer, but a scope would be better use as food for African children than in my possession.Hitting a pig at 50 yards with no sights at all is going to require more 308 practice ammo than a cheap scope costs. I have a couple cheap older scopes that I took off rifles I've bought off the used shelf. I would be more than happy to send you one if you PM me your address. I have random scope rings too and I think I have a cheap red dot kicking around. When your done with it find someone else who needs it and give it to them.
I point shoot with my duty pistol out to about 10y. It absolutely can be done. But I don't care about the person trying to kill or harm me or others. They get what they get.Instinct shooting, referred to as "Quick Kill ", was taught to the U.S. Army using rifles by Lucky McDaniel as far back as the 1960s. McDaniel also taught his point shooting techniques to the police, but using BB guns. Point firing, or instinctive shooting, with rifles developed as a result of direct combat experiences.

I remembered this, so i googled it.

I'd rather learn how to shoot without sights since most of my shooting will be under 50 yards.
Chuck Connors made it look pretty easy on TV.
I've mostly done this when checking function on a rifle partway through a project -- usually I can keep the hits somewhere inside a

I've mostly done this when checking function on a rifle partway through a project -- usually I can keep the hits somewhere inside a paper plate up to 20 yards or so. Come to think on it, I shoot a rifle minus sights about as well as a handgun with them.
I'll chime in with the red dot recommendations -- start with an entry-level Bushnell TRS-25 for about $80. That's about the price of two boxes of decent lead-free hunting ammo these days.
I can't even afford a sittin hen.
