Why hobble the .30-30 with a 100yd zero?
A 1.8 at 50yds high zero gives an effective 200 point blank range. +2.8” at 100yds. -1.6” at 200yd.
The .30-30 and .35Rem shoot far flatter than the average user comprehends.
These were run with a 1.1” over bore, 2300fps actual m/v, .330 bc for 160gr FTX.
I’ve taken deer at 220yds with.30-30, and 238yds with .35Rem. But, most shots ARE under 100yds, but I’m not handicapping myself with the mindless 100yd zero.
My .270’s, ‘06’s ect are sighted zero at 250yds. The .257wby and .300RUM are zero at 300yds.
But, I prefer to hunt with the Marlin l/a rifles...
