Right. Just put this into context in my brain. Once you doped the distance and was just missing the target, you effectively shot a 3 moa group at 1160 yards with a 3030, with open sights, offhand. That's bloody amazing. Mind Blown!
Lol, Cheers
For real.
Mine too. I wouldn’t go past 100 with my scoped 30-30
Yeah, most people would consider that to be impossible.
@@johndyer9232 I used to with a Winchester and 2x Leopold barrel mounted. Had some loaded with 125grn spire points for single shot. Was pretty good out to around 200yrds
"Two out of twenty, that's not bad" Yeah you're right, at 1160 with open sights on a lever 30-30, that's amazing! About 10 more were less than a target off, very nice shooting!
Cheers sukivel. Thank you.
With a rear sight that was TAPED on!
Unbelievable, scoring hits standing unsupported using iron sights at 1161 yards. Mark, you never cease to amaze me. I'm lost for words!
Hi Graeme, thank you very much, Cheers
Hell, I was impressed at 600 yards.
I just got to the end...the ladder sight was taped on?!?! Amazing!!
Impressive shooting (as always). At 1100+ yds its challenging enough just to see your target. Offhand? Just wow. Only a few can truly appreciate that kind of shooting. Well done!
I was thinking the same thing, it's very difficult trying to holdover to adjust for a few inches at 100, let alone 1000 yds.
Very impressed with his expert marksmanship
Thanks Allen, glad you liked man, cheers
Really love it when you take the lever actions out and shoot them at a respectable range, you’re a steady as a rock, thank you for sharing
Thanks Man, yes, sure do like the levers, done a bit with them, lots of practise, glad you liked, Cheers
Yep.
Good times, good times...
As a huge fan of the 30-30 Winchester, I am always amazed at how many people underestimate this cartridge. Once again, fantastic shooting and your spotter needs a pay raise! 😊 She is awesome!
Cheers
Great shooting Mark! Those hits on the plate seemed to make a pretty hard dent as well! So much for experts saying rifles like the 30/30 and 45/70 being usless over 200m. And open sights as well. Great stuff!
Cheers Geoff, and yes those experts, lol, cheers
The bison would counter that claim. They were almost eradicated with calibers we consider short range now.
I dare say its the shooters who are useless over 200m not the cartridges.
@@markandsamafterwork do you know what your ballistics on your handloads vs factory loads
@@neilkratzer3182 lmao that's a good point, ammo nowadays is consistent as hell compared to handloaded odd round they would of had back in the day
Off hand, standing with open sights, truly amazing.
Cheers thanks Magnus
In 2017 my father passed away and my mom give me his Winchester 94 in 30-30 made in 1954 it's in 90 % condition - just before the coronavirus I got me 400 rounds and I still have not taken it to the range, today's 30-30 ammo is not easy to find I'm glad I got some before all this going on , my father got it new and only used it 2 or 3 times for hunting he lived in south Texas, thank you for your videos.
Thanks Joe, Cheers
Incredible, absolutely fantastic marksmanship walking those rounds in. 1150 Is a POKE and people don't give 30-30 enough credit.
Thanks Man, Cheers
No-one seems to have mentioned it, but amazing breath control and body awareness. The level of stillness and focus is nothing short of superhuman.
And your spotter is the best part of your team no doubt.
Great teamwork.
Yes she is, thanks Doc, Cheers
Open sights and off hand at 600 yards is hard enough but 1100 WOW you must have phenomenal vision and muscle control. Looks like a perfect day too almost calm wind . Thanks Mark and Sam great stuff.
Thanks Gary, glad you liked, Cheers
Lord, I was decently impressed when I thought the title said 160 for a second. I appreciate you two.
Lol, Cheers Man, thank you.
Mark and Sam please keep up the great work! I teach the Jeff Cooper General Rifle Class at the NRA Whittington Center in May each year and though the class involves little extreme range shooting I share your videos all the time with my students as the principles of accurate shooting are the same.
Awesome, thanks Tony, glad you be of service and glad you like, Cheers and all the best
Whittington Center one of my favorite places
@@michaelkrajnik1552 Mine too Michael.
Although it's often written off as too outdated, this video proves that the old-school 30-30 is still worthy. I'd suggest that today's marksmen and hunters haven't put in the trigger time for this style of rifle. Totally loved this video!
Take care and be well!
Agreed, thanks Paul, glad you liked, all the best, Cheers
The only real issue is you aren't going to get that kind of performance out of actual rounds you can load in it, and the energy falls off after about 300 yards for a proper kill on most deer too.
Thats fantastic. I've been simping on the '94 30-30 Winchester through the winter in Canada... but there's no supply! Beautiful rendition there.
Thanks Joe
That's awesome you guys, at that distance and speeds, 1/8" movement at the muzzle throws it off. Very impressive group, incredible stability!
Thanks Man, great you liked, Cheers
Now that was a fun video. I found myself cheering for you. Had a smile on my face the whole time.
Awesome, Cheers John, thanks
And he pulls the rear sight off and puts it in his pocket….what a guy..you’ve got er figured out guys…which I’m no dummy I knew this yrs ago when I subbed to y’all’s channel…got me into long range and handloading myself and I’m chasin powder and primers like the rest of em…lol..thanks again mark and Sam..all the best way round the globe in Kentucky…
Thanks Man, glad to inspire, have a good one, Cheers
Awesome video mark, I think the 30-30 is so underrated. My Mom has harvested so many mule deer with one threw the 50s into the 60s
Awesome, sounds like a great lady, cheers Sterling, all the best
that was amazing! I used to shoot long range with a revolver, so I know you have to practice a lot to get that good! Congratulations.
Yep, practise, practise, practise, lol, Cheers
🇦🇺😎👍I doubt I could put one round on that target with my 308 fitted with a 6.5-20 x50 scope. Great effort mate🏁
Cheers Man
, thanks
This channel is in a class by itself. Incredible stuff!
Thanks Slats, Cheers
Must be Mathew Quigley's grandson. Awesome shooting! I love the 30-30. I have a few winchester model 94 rifles. I have 2 rifles and 2 carbines in 30-30.
Great little round, glad you liked, Cheers
Love watching their videos. Amazing skills.
Thanks Man Cheers
Mark, great shooting from a standing position🎯, but for me the most astonishing thing was that there was NO wind 😳 ... that's gotta be a record of some kind.
Thanks man, and yes there are times there is low wind. lol. Cheers
That's amazing. No surprise there. You are awesome and I love how Sam calls the shots when they land
Thanks Dave, Cheers
WOW! Just wow, iron sights 30-30 at those distances, you sir are amazing
Lol, thanks Vince Cheers
I salute your efforts folks! In 2005 22 November north east Alberta I plopped a 220 pound whitetail buck at about 260 yards. Single round of 150 grain Silvertip old style. Clean kill no wind I could feel from offhand. High sight in for these more challenging shots.
Great shooting sir, great cartridge too.
Be well
Thanks Joe, glad you liked man, Cheers
I am absolutely amazed! Standing shots at over 1000 yards with iron sights out of a .30-30. So.....is the rumor I hear that you're working on an 'over the horizon' build true LOLOLOLOL?? Fantastic video!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!
Lol, thanks Man, was fun to get done and glad you liked, Cheers
Could watch this all day, love the 30/30 and have used it on pigs.
You two are a pair of gems.
Thanks Man, Cheers
In a day when most people just try to buy success, it's refreshing to see someone who works to develop skill.
Thanks Sam, Cheers
I love my old Winchesters, I have a 30WCF , made in 1907, I think that was the first year they made it with Nickle steel barrel for smokeless powder. I also have a 100 year anniversary 1886, 1 of 3000 in 45-70. 26 octagonal barrel. Beautiful guns both , nice video, thanks
They sound very nice, glad you liked, the video, Cheers
Thank you Mark and Sam. I love every video.
Thanks Man, Cheers
I wish we could leave a comment every time I watch your videos. I literally watch some of these videos 5 times!
Cheers Keith, thanks
Awesome shooting! To even get close to that target with a 30-30 is a miracle. And to do that from standing with no support is bloody unreal. Wow.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Really enjoy your videos.
Amazing skill and knowledge.
What a team
Thanks Kelly
I must say Mark and Sam you two extract out of these golden oldies a degree of range and accuracy never before believed could be done. Great performance fellas very enjoyable viewing. Have you ever tried an around 1890 single shot lever action Martini Henry 310 with cast lead "Super", made in SA projectiles. Whilst they might be an old slow poke they still packed a solid punch at 400 yards, enough to drop head hit feral pigs using the flip up ladder sights. A lot of near misses and guess work of course, but when hit they went down.
No, not yet, sounds like fun, glad you liked, Cheers
Me an my brother use to handload spitzer boat tail bullets in 30/30 back in the mid 70's. Same same, we would load the spitzer in the chamber an round nose in the magazines, had real good accuracy to, but nowhere near 1100 yds shots, only 200 or 300 max yds, really liked this vid an thx.
Awesome and thanks Will, Cheers
Very good shooting Mark ……with open sights my hat goes off to you 👍
Thanks Bryce
What a beautiful rifle!!!!!! Generally not the first choice for long-range shooting but I have a love the 30-30 for hunting deer here in the states. Great video!!!!!!
Agreed, cheers Steve, thanks
I've spent my entire life shooting the 30-30 and I'm amazed by this!
Thanks Mike, Cheers
Another very informative video.. I appreciate all information Mark and Sam put out. Thanks and what up mate from the US
Thanks Mark, Cheers
I love this video! 1000 yds off hand with iron sights is no simple feat with any rifle. I have a Buffalo Classic 45-70 with 36" barrel and peep sights. Very fun to shoot!
Thanks Bees, cheers
Freehand! Sensational at those distances.
Very impressive.
Cheers
I've got a Winchester 1873 in 45 Colt and was out a couple weeks ago shooting out to 500 yds. Great fun with those lever guns. I need to get me a sight like that. I also like the double sided tape idea! 👍
Awesome, Cheers Duggy
Cool video. I've got a 94 Winchester. I can ring steel at 300 yards with it no problem. Tried to get it out to 400 and 500 yards and that is beyond my ability with the poor tangent type iron sights. Always a joy to see you two shoot.
Awesome, great to hear, Cheers
Mark, I have two older 30-30's I thought I was pushing them at 200 yards, guess I was wrong ............ thanks for sharing !!
Cheers Man
As one long range guy to another. I wish that I could give you 2 thumbs up brother!
Great shooting!
Cheers Man, thanks and all the best.
The real Quigley down under and I loved the double sided tape for the rear sight idea.
Thanks Luke, all the best, cheers
Standing and shooting skill set, fantastic!!
Cheers Man, thanks
Great shooting. Just wow. Thanks for the awsome videos. And the pulled the sight off that was taped on. 😊 love it. Cheers 🍻
Cheers Man
Far out Mark, you have amazing eye site using open sites at that range.
SO envious!!
Cheers Brad
Beautiful. I love levers and especially in the hands of a pro. It will be wonderful te get a few off-hand shooting tips from you.
Thanks Man, cheers
I read a lot of compliments from viewers and a little jealousy hiding underneath from some of your fellow LR shooters. I am a very average bloke with a few rifles who shoots for fun and watches a few video's. What Ican say for myself is that you are hands down the best shot I have ever seen. You have a very particular set of skills mate and Sam is cracking shot herself.
Thank you very much Luke. And Sam is the best spotter I know too. Glad you liked. Cheers
Your eyesight is much better than mine and you’re much steadier. Great job. Cheers
Thanks Man, glad you liked, Cheers
Even with all the variables, like shooting off hand, distance, and wind, your shooting was amazing. I realized just how accurate a lever action.30/30 can be with hard cast lead bullets, proper hand loading and an aperture sight. Great shooting Mate!
Gil from the US
Cheers Gil, thanks
Great spotting, almost makes me feel I could do this too- apart from the fact I could barely see the target at this range! Sharp shooting with a lovely rifle, greetings from Scotland!🏴
Cheers Man
This guy is an amazing shot. That's really pretty country.
Cheers Man, thanks
Open sights at over 1000 yards?! That's impressive! Great video guys.
Thanks Mna, Cheers
Awesome rifle , another great video , showing the impossible is possible 👍🏼
Cheers Matt, thanks
I was in the Tom Selleck Quigley Down Under vid comment sections full of you can't shoot 760 yards off hand with 550 grain 45 70. This was great.
I grew up being told a 30-30 was a brush gun that was good for about 150 yards... LOL It's kind of comical when you think about it but that was probably true at one point. I love the old lever guns they're like revolvers just classic pieces of history and are a ton of fun to shoot. Good shooting and great video as always keepem coming guys!!!
Thanks Dan, glad you liked man, Cheers
1100 yds......with a taped on sight. Stunning work!
Thanks Man, Cheers
1160 yards, off hand, open sights and I would not want to be anywhere near that target. Fantastic shooting!
Cheers Dave, thanks
One cannot even see the target at that distance properly and here you are standing there hitting it at 1160 yards. Like a boss!
Lol, Cheers Man, thanks
That is fantastic shooting, no rest, and in standing aim! I mess about at Bell Target shooting, and the discipline is very similar, but i dont think i could do as well as you over such a distance on Iron sights. Well done!
Thanks Rob, Cheers man
Hi Guys
Nice shooting it was great to see what a 30/30 could do with good ammo in Marks hands , I have a collection of Winchester 92 and 94s in 25/20 to 44/40 and everything in between dating back to the early 1900s , none of them are the most accurate rifles I own but all are great for short range hunting and fun for plinking , thanks for the video I really enjoyed it . Steve .
Agreed, levers are great for that sort thing, glad you like Steve, Cheers
Espetacular ! Meus parabéns , nunca vi alguém tão bom assim !
Cheers Tiago, thank you
Love the 30-30 - not too powerful to be overkill for pretty much anything of private use, but has a better feeling "boom" than .223 and similar cartridges, particularly with these light-weight lever actions.
Cheers
Wow Mark you must have incredible vision. That rifle is a beauty. Even with the ladder site could you even see the white dot on the site post ? I shot a green man paper target at 300 meters with m1 Garand 30-06 sites and my front site covered the entire mans body 😜.
Thanks man. Glad you liked. Cheers
Open sights right on mate wish I had a spotter like that fun vid .I have marlin and older Winchester .perfect a scope . 👍🇨🇦
thanks Man
Outstanding. Now I want to try that with my own 30-30!
Cheers, glad you liked.
The Winchester 94 In 30WCF Is One Of My Go To Rifles Mine was Made In 1949 And Is Super Accurate 😊😀 You And Sam Shooting Freehand At Those Distances Was Amazing I Know I Would Need Some Practice To Shoot as Well As You Guys Did 😀🔥😊😀🔥 That Special Edition Model With 1/2 Octagon Barrel is Beautiful Steve 👌🏼😊😊😊
Awesome and glad you liked, Thanks Chris, Cheers
Loved your video. My favorite rifle is a Marlin 30-30 lever. A lot of fun to shoot. A good deer rifle in the heavy brush in Missouri USA, where most shots are well under 100 yards.
Cheers Ed, thanks man
What a great shooting with a 30-30 and a very beatiful lever action. Think you made great ammo. 30-30 hits so far away, 👍👏
Thanks Man, Cheers
Amazing off hand shooting! It's a fun cartridge to shoot and for deer sized game under 200 yards It packs enough punch. Bullet placement is the key.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Super awesome!! I have the marlin 336c. i added a lpvo and use it for deer hunting here in western washington. i truly love that round. i hear they are very quiet suppressed as well.
Awesome, Cheers
This dude HAS to be a robot. Jeeeezus! that is some shooting right there... really enjoy your content!
🤠👍👍
I'm glad to see what you can do with the 30-30, i never had the chance. My safe was stolen with mine in it. But my new safe is completely incased and hidden. I just haven't picked up a Winchester yet. Do enjoy my new to me Browning 45-70 though!
Thanks Man, Cheers
You have to be a great shot to hit as close as you do to those targets. I bought a winchester 94 30-30 when I was 17; I'm 73 now and have hunted with that rifle every year since then. I live and hunt in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina where the woods are thick with rhododendron and mountain laurel so my shots are close, usually within 50 yards. Keep on shooting.
Cheers
That is a nice rifle! Nice shooting as well.
Thanks to the both of you.
Thanks Rich, Cheers
Very impressed, especially with the first target!
Cheers
Great shooting mate. A kilometre away offhand, with iron sights. Hats off to you.
👍👍
absolutely my favorite rifle any Winchester 30-30 lever action never missed and knocked down plenty of tree's for firewood a little costly but fun
Lol, Cheers
😮I thought when I dropped a deer @ 250 yards, it was a feat never before accomplished 😅. That was with a 30-30 Marlin and 3x9 power scope. Damn! You are good.
Cheers Jack
Have shot a few 30-30s in my day and have never been let down, highly underated round. Pigs on the run just fall into hot lead when you're doing it in smooth moves
Agreed, Cheers
With as steady as you are, im guessing no coffee for you on the way out to shoot. Impressive shooting guys! Cheers!
Lol, yep, Cheers
Hats off sir. That is impressive 🇨🇦
thanks Max
Dude, I commend you. Free handed, standing, wind blowing, dark sunglasses on, open sights and ringing steel. If you shot from a bench rest I bet you’d hit it more. Nice shooting. Very nice. 👍
Thanks Larry, glad you liked, Cheers
Outstanding!! And thanks Steve!
Cheers and thanks John
all these 6.5 CR shooters with their high magnification scopes and bench rests got nothin on this guy! (no offense meant, but this is true skill)
Lol, thanks Dusty, Cheers
Another great video Mark and Sam .
Thanks Will
Your a very good shot - congratulations.
Cheers
Hell yeah brother. What a great video you've made here.
Thanks Josh, Cheers
Standing, with Open Sights, at that distance! ….. Hell yeah, Bro!
Cheers
That is insane and a huge pat on your back for even achieving a hit at that distance!
Thanks Vasco, cheers
I had to let go of my Marlin .30-30 a few years ago during some hard times in life.. That broke my heart 😭..
Life is like that sometimes, all the best, cheers
Was that Marlin 30-30 and old 1894 hexagon Barrel? I shot one when I was a kid in 1968 and those were very heavy but if it's the newer one they aren't as heavy
@@brantardrey7360
No sir, it was a newer model my folks got me for my 15th b-day back in 05. It was a pretty light gun too, which made the recoil a bit harsh. That sumbitch kicked like a mule lol.
@@LouisianaAstroRambler the 30-30 I have right now I think is a post 64 I believe it's a 1965 model? I can't remember now I have about 11 rifles and pistols
@@brantardrey7360
Nice... Ya I've got to get another lever gun for my collection as well.. I mean, they aren't my favorite type of firearm, but I'd still love to have one, especially for hunting.. If I ever do get my hands on one again, I'd like to get one in .50 Alaskan, or at least .45-70, since .45-70 ammo is probably easier to find.
Offhand standing! That some pretty good shooting. Love your vid's.
thanks Man
Damn Quigley! For real tho absolutely amazing iron sight shots. Very very impressed!!
Cheers
Superb shooting Mark, and it's good to see these experiments testing the limits of the cartridge. Speaking of limits, I was intrigued to read in a Jack Reacher book of some 30-30 handloads with an extra (!) 47 grains of powder in them. I'm all for a bit of fun but I'm glad I wasn't the one to test them - pointy bullets or not, I reckon one of those would stand a fair chance of setting the rest of the magazine off. Nice rifle, I like lever actions, although I'm not overly keen on tubular mags either from limiting the bullet choice or occasional unloading problems with rounds sticking temporarily then feeding when the action is closed on the 'empty' weapon. Another good video, always worth watching!
Quality lever actions have no issues like that, and as for fiction writing, just like the movies....its not real, it didn't happen, lol, Cheers
