Thanks for the flowers, Stephen. I agree. Hunting with these old guns is where it's at. I try to practice and keep my eyes trained. I shoot at my steel animal silhouettes with barrel sights two or three times a week, usually about 18 to 20 rounds a session. I like to practice on the longer shots because it makes the closer ones like this deer seem easy. Be that as it may, with the Lawerence ladder sight and a laser rangefinder, a 300 yard shot on an elk is no more difficult than this 130 yard shot on a white tail. If you set the sight correctly, the rifle is indifferent to the distance and the relative size of the sight picture is the same. Shoot straight, rdnck.
