Well, my 30-40 accounted for one white tail, another with a 38-55, and I don't know how many to my .308. I'm going to use the .308 again this year, I can't shoot well enough in hunting conditions with open sights anymore. It's no problem with steel targets painted contrasting colors, or black circles on white paper. But a brown deer, an the shadows, against brown leaves,
and I have to choose which glasses to wear, either the ones I can see the deer with, or the ones I can see the sights with. Maybe in the future I may try something with a tang or peep sight, but I haven't practiced with any of those lately.
