I am fairly new to high-powered rifle shooting and was wondering what kind of accuracy I could expect from my Winchester 30-30, shooting with a sling, standing. I installed an Ashley ghost ring in the rear and I find that I can generally keep the shots in the inner black circle on the targets at 100 yards (I believe that is a 6" diameter circle). This level of accuracy does not particularly impress me, since I can do better with my 50-year old Mossburg .22 with a peep sight. I have to assume that the inaccuracy comes from me, and not the rifle.
One problem is that the front post more or less exactly covers the black circle, so that seems to limit my ability to see where in the center of the target I am aiming. It is a standard post, should I get some sort of needle-like front post?
