After I got the windage and elevation figured out (windage adjusted with the help of a brass hammer!), I fired my last 4 rounds of a 20 round box of Winchester 170 grain Sp 30-30 ammo into a 2 1/2" group centered in the bull at 100 yards. wind was blowing maybe 5mph. Since everyone else at the range had scoped rifles, I was just wondering how this group compares. Is it a decent group for open sights at that range? Is it possible to do much better with this gun or do I need to improve the sights? Maybe a peep sight or something?
The gun is a Marlin 30AS with stock sights.
FWIW, I used to qualify high expert every year in the Marine Crops, but this gun sure ain't no M16!
Thanks for the feedback. I am an avid handgun shooter, but thought I'd see if rifle shooting is as much fun - it is!
