Yeah, I figure on the longer shots (if you even want to take them) it would probably be a lot like using a hot-loaded .45-70 at 200 yards (which I have - but only at the range). Good bullet weight retains enough energy to get the job done, but it ain't gonna shoot flat. You would have to hold pretty high to adjust for the rainbow trajectory.

One of those old-time ladder sights they used to use here for plains bison might look pretty funky on a Ruger No. 1! Actually, the peep sight I use adjusts pretty well for elevation. I am not sure if most PH's want you shooting at 200 yards with open irons anyway. Potentially too much work to do if you only manage a gut shot.

Thanks for your input, guys.
