Remington 700: 30-06 Range?

[Pinecone]

The one way a longer barrel MIGHT show better accuracy is with iron sights.

Only because of the longer sighting radius.

Great to hear from you Ed. Info packed posts as always. I miss seeing you at Mayberry buddy... Hope things are well down in Louisa and that the lines of trainees are long.

Ditto. Thank you, E.Shell, for the knowledge and perspective.

Don't put unfounded limits on yourself or anyone else. You may not actually know what you are capable of yourself and you definitely do not know my capabilities.

Nor do you know mine or was even talking to you for that matter. If he asked the question,he doesn't know. Therefore it can and he can,he just hasn't done it yet. your nostrals could use a trim!

The .30-06's performance EXCEEDS the .308 and the cartridge itself is an excellent choice for long range. It is at it's best with slightly heavier bullets than the .308 uses, such as 185s and 190s vs the .308's 175s.

That's a wrap, once again thank you Ed.

Definitely true.

If we want to take shooter error out of the question, we would assume there isn't any.

If private conversation was the intent, you should use PMs or get a room. This is a public, open forum where anything one says not specifically directed to an individual goes to everyone on the thread.

...If he asked the question,he doesn't know. Therefore it can and he can,he just hasn't done it yet. your nostrals could use a trim!

As could yours. If a rifle that probably shoots around 2 MOA exceeds your own capabilities, as you said yourself, then why would you attempt to post "constructive" comments on a thread discussing the RIFLE's potential for precision? I don't know either.

Seriously, many people place limits on themselves based on misconceptions that will prevent achieving top performance. It's the #1 hurdle to overcome when trying to improve from a plateau. If one starts out saying "Oh, I can't do it!", then of course they can't. Bad enough to condemn one's own potential (without knowing the truth) and it's simply not fair to impose those imaginary limits on others too.

Hey Ragnar, hey JB!

The problem is, if you cannot shoot better than 2 MOA, and have a 2 MOA rifle, then you have SYSTEM that can only shoot 4 MOA.

In some ways, a worse shooter needs a better rifle.
