Here and there I read on THR of very fancy equipment for long range shooting (1000 y and over).
Very expensive scopes, custom rifles, exotic cartridges....definitely impressive.
Now the thing is....there are Sharps users, even at current times, that enjoy throwing their 45-70 bullets at very impressive ranges using just their tang sights.
You can look at few youtube videos.....type "Sharps" and "long range shooting".
My question for the long range experts is: What kind of accuracy at such extreme distances these shooters can get with their old 45-70 , even using scopes? At least compared to another shooter using, let's say a custom 338 Lapua with a $1000-1500+ glass on it?
