Moved down from Okie-ville to Florida bout a year ago. Buddy got me into hawg huntin with my bow and I love it! year round fun to say the least. Left most my stuff up in Oklahoma cept my carry pistols and the like. And instead of havin em sent here, since they safely cared after there... I figured I'd start over with some firearms that I havent owned yet im my life.
I was thinkin on pickin up a stainless model Encore. Ive always had an interest in em, but never shucked out the cash when the time came. Like the idea of swappin up barrels even if it required re-zeroin up the bugger. Thats the fun part anyhow.
My Idea was to pick one up with a 24" stainless barrel in .30-30 WCF. A good deer, hawg caliber for the areas we go. Some fields, mostly brush and trees. But even in fields if they are too far away, ya just spot and stalk em. Thats half the fun right there. Down the road, I see me buyin .270s and such again, maybe even try my hand at muzzle loadin. But for now, re-loadin .30-30 has gained an interest in me.
Heres my problem. Most shots will be more than likely within 50 yards...bow range. What would be the best use for a sight? I was thinkin on maybe settin it up with a Holosight. instead of a scope. Since theres no iron sights on the Encore barrel that im lookin at. Would it work well for snap shootin if I had to respond to a chargin boar? or such?
My buddy uses a marlin 336 with iron sights and along with huntin we like to shoot against each other. So Im tryin to stick with what god gave me and not a magnification advantage on the range along with in the field.
If a holosight would do the trick to a tee. What model would you recomend? Im searchin em as we speak on Midwayusa.
Thanks in advance for any info ya might have for me.
