Hello gents,
I'm looking for a 600 yd capable target single shot rifle. I belong to a gun club and I shoot 600 yds weekly. I also have solid handloading skills. I already own a 1885 TD but I can't shoot irons past 200 yds. I'm thinking a repro 1885 HW , Sharps in 45-70 as i'm already deeply vested into 45-70 reloading components. I'd like a rifle that I could shoot with peep / vernier sights out to say 300 yds max, then should I choose, add a full length period correct Hi-Lux type optic and get me to 600 yds. I can proficiently shoot 600 yds with a 2.5x scope (my 1903-A4 sniper ). So before plunking down my cash, I need your recommendations for a platform that can grow with my needs. I'd also consider a 45-90 if this would be a better caliber choice for midrange shooting. Thanks in advance !
