Found this chasing the cattle...

Dropping a moving target at 200 yards is a really good shot, especially with a 30/30. Congrats, time to fire up the grill. It always tastes better if it has never been refrigerated.

Nice! I heard of them eating calves but I dont buy into that too much.

They will eat a calf that's just been born when they can't run and momma doesn't have enough energy to chase them off but that's not real common. I have seen a large group of pigs chase cattle off their feed ground but you feed a few some lead and they will stop for a few months.

The only thing assumed was that the 30-30 was iron sighted, since most are difficult to add on a scope mount due to the ejection being on top of most of them. The rest is in his post.

None of the 10 + Marlins that I own eject out of the top and I can hit a small target at 200 yards with most of them.

earlier models were top eject, common in the 70's. Most of them came with octagonal barrels.

See CJ's post... and I assume you mean you can hit a small target while it is running across a field 200 yards away at 5-10 mph? Okay.

Winchesters are top eject only difference in them is older models eject straight back when the newer models were angled some for the use of a scope. Like CJ said Marlins have been side eject for at least 30 years.

I've done the same thing but I was using a bow and arrow and it was a mountain lion running 35mph and 250 yards. My kill shot was through his eye though

Well shit, a mountain lion is a huge target. I go bow hunting for doves and rabbits.

Knock a flea off a tick's ass at 500 yards?

[CJ]

You can hit a pig from 200 yards with a .30-30 no problem. Doing it standing while it's running while looking through a scope... that's pretty difficult.

[Lone Sailor]

heart-shot with an iron sighted 30-30, shooting at a 28" tall target while running, at 200 yards... Yeah.

ahh yeah, you have me there.

It's easy for someone to try and explain it away if you have no experience in firearms. It doesn't take a expert marksman skill level to drop a hog at 200 yards with a scoped 30-30 when the hog is just scurrying around.

I guess the Earth is flat!!! Oh noes!!!

With open sights I would agree. With a scope I disagree on a hog. They don't run that fast as it is, IMO, let alone when they are just "chasing" some calves around.

You assume I have no experience with firearms... you have assumed wrong.

As to the rest of your statement, I'll repeat myself: Yeah... okay.

I hit a running buck 3 times at 100 years with the same 30-30 (with iron sites). But then again I've probably shot close to a million rounds, half of which were through my .22 Henry.
