In my opinion, 400-600 yard shots should only be made in desperation, when you actually need that animal to eat. Otherwise it's an irresponsible shot. Even for someone considered a good shot, I frown on it. Kip.
35 whelen in 760 with scope of choice. Out to 300 yards it is the hammer fast follow up shots and good point of aim. the 760 in a notorious accurate rifle with fast follow up shots.
With a properly placed shot, they are enough for elk or bear. Years ago I purchased a Remington 770 rifle/scope combo from Bi-Mart for $279.99. It was in .270 Win. and that scope dialed the rifle 1.25"-3 shot groups at 100 yards. I'm sure a better shot than I could have made it 1". That is Remington;s bottom model, but it put the bullets in the same place EVERY time. I believe you can still get the Remington 770 package in '06 for less than $300 at Bi-Mart or Big 5. I traded that .270 away and it was one of the few regrets I have in all my trading experience. It was SO accurate, especially for $290 after the background check. Kip.
as there too.
I mounted a Leupold Varix-3 with Warne rings and installed a Timmey trigger. The article below describes this rifle better than I can
J.C. Higgins Model 50 & 51
By Jon Y. Wolfe
The J.C. Higgins Model 50 was the creation of the Sears and Roebuck Co. in the early 1950s. Although not manufactured by Sears, the giant retailer was certainly instrumental in their creation and importation. Information on these rifles often conflicts so I have included information derived from the predominant consensus and my own findings of fact.
The Model 50 was originally produced by Belgium's Fabrique Nationale using a commercial 98 Mauser action and 22 inch chrome lined barrel from High Standard. The chrome-lined barrels were limited to Models 50 and 51. Later models included the Model 51/51-L built on the FN and Husqvarna actions, Model 52 by Sako, and the last Model 54 by Browning.
The bolt is the traditional controlled feed type with a one piece polished bolt body, one-piece firing pin, and a two-position short-throw 45 degree safety to accommodate the use of a scope. The bolt handle is consistent with the "Second Pattern FN Action" in that it sweeps back to allow clearance for a scope. The bolt head has the traditional two locking lugs and the rear safety lug. The extractor is large and prominent. Each bolt was electro penciled to the rifle using the last three digits of the serial number, ( (No Documation on this) which was located on the right side of the receiver. The bolts used on these FN Belgium made actions are of the highest quality and durability..
