an 06 with the right operator and ammo is flat out deadly way out there no matter what the critics say .
have taken deer past 200 with mine and my first ever with that rifle was at 224 and dropped like a bird in a puff a fur when i let it rip !
wish i had video of that one for sure , my older daughter took her first deer with it at about 125 and it was a dandy mature 8 and she high shoulder shot him and somewhere i have high def extra slow mo video of that hunt , he also got "puffed" and his legs literally folded up under him on the shot !
sighted in at 2 inches high at 100 ,puts it about dead on at 200 and with only a 9 power that is about as far out as you can really pinpoint shot placement well , used to shoot "gongs" with mine at 200 for practice and a 12 inch circle looks pretty small thru a 9 power
That 06 still has quite a bit of umph out a 200 and beyond.
